+ScroogieII Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 OH WOWZIE WOWZIE!!! Is it THAT TIME again already? Seems like it was just a couple of months ago that this date rolled around! All you young folks, be prepared!!! As you get older, the years get shorter! I'm not kidding when I write that Pi Day seems a lot like yesterday. Anyhow, The Pud is reminding me that the last time around we did store bought pizza. We've both sworn off sweets (right now I could KILL for a strudel - what flavour doesn't matter - Apple, Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry - I don't care) so it will have to be pizza again this year. But this year it will be HOMEMADE pizza. It's been years and years and years (young folks, take that how you will) since I've acktchelly made myself a pizza. Of course, I do realize that it can easily cost just about twice as much to MAKE a pizza as it can to just BUY a pizza, but mine are always BIGGER and have EVERYTHING I want on them, which can always make for a pretty BIG PIZZA! Which is just what I always aim for. Way long ago, when I made pizzas with a semblance of regularity I seem to remember that I liked them, so we're gonna go for it once again!!! Wish me luck, as I can also recall that they weren't all gems... Just 3 days left to plan, one day to construct... ... ... ... ... ... Keith 1 Quote Link to comment

+T0SHEA Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Vulture1957 and family eating coconut cream pie. Nice family. I am always surprised when I see a picture of a waymarker that I recognize their name. (nothings like I envisioned) Edited July 23, 2021 by T0SHEA Quote Link to comment
vulture1957 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I just finished off the other half of the pie! (and I'm blaming T0SHEA. Had to eat it before PI day was over) Edited July 23, 2021 by vulture1957 Quote Link to comment

It is even better, following the spirit of the event. Quote Link to comment

I totally agree with the "with cheddar sauce" bit, though - or better, a Hollandaise Sauce. 1 Quote Link to comment

There was no way I was going to finish my pizza on Pi Day, so I approximated and Completed the Consumption of my Culinarily Complex Composition the following day, feeling somewhat uneasy about having arbitrarily and unilaterally extended Pi Day - that is Until I Read Your Post. Though I wouldn't say it was BETTER, it was at least as good as I remembered its being the previous day, bearing in mind that my short term memory has become somewhat spotty.
