2012 National Pie Day an Insulin Shock Inducing Success!

This year's National Pie Day celebrations were an unprecedented success.  I hosted three pie and wine tastings, the Portland Pie Council raised $1215.50 for the Preble St Resource Center, we published a fantastic pie cook book, and held a Pie Gala that blew peoples minds.  As I promised when I was soliciting contributions, here are pictures of me in the pie suit from throughout the day that I wore it.

Here I am Thursday night preparing for the pie and wine tasting at Aurora Provisions.

Delivering wine to Whole Foods.

Dave Norman and myself at Whole Foods on Saturday the 21st to give away copies of the Pie Council Cook book with every blueberry pie sold.  Whole Foods gave $10 to Preble St for each Blueberry pie.

Pie Council members Dave Norman and Sara Donnelly put in some amazing work compiling and editing the submitted recipes as well as all the creative writing in the cook book.  The book includes 47 recipes for sweet pies, savory pies, and even crust! Then there are 12 pie-inspired poems, 4 interviews, 2 short stories, notes on the recipes from the bakers themselves, and more...it's like a literary magazine with a sense of humor and a kitchen full of family recipes for America's favorite dessert!  Copies are still available for just $15 here.  Any profits we make from the book will go to Preble St!
