Flashback to December 27, 2010. I resolved that day to make 50 pies in 2011. Why? Because though I loved to bake and was capable of creating yummy desserts, mastering a decent pie had eluded me. And in 2011 I would celebrate my 50th birthday, so 50 seemed the ideal number.
I blogged about my pie in the sky wishes that year. I posted my weekly attempts on a blogspot site titled “As Easy as Pie”. I had a grand total of twelve followers. My editor friend Richard published my weekly baking endeavors in his small town newspaper’s weekly cooking column. My audience was tiny, thank goodness, because several of my feeble attempts ended in hilarious disaster. EASY as pie? Ha!
Fast
forward to December 30, 2023. A baker’s dozen years later, I resolve to bake 50
pies in 2024. Why? Because through the years my cooking skills have gotten wimPIEr.
Being focused and occuPIEd in the kitchen could be helpful theraPIEs in
regaining that lost mojo. I love to gather people together, and wouldn’t PIE
socials be a fun, affordable way to entertain and practice hos-PIE-tality? Who
wouldn’t be hapPIEr being the reciPIEnt of a scrumptious PIEce of PIE? Who
knows? Perhaps I’ll bake a PIE masterPIEce and gain a bunch of grouPIEs?
So
there you have it, reasons aplenty to reprise the pies…and have punny word fun!
I know if you follow along, I’ll be ins-PIE-ered!
