Today might be all about football - but as I set out to enjoy a low key morning before the big Bears v. Packers game, I came across a video on Hulu that was a perfect addition to my day... coverage of the American Pie Championships! Why is that perfect? Today is NATIONAL PIE DAY!
As far as I can tell, there's not much to National Pie Day other than the pure enjoyment of pie - what a terribly simple and delicious idea. Check out some of these posts as you look to celebrate in the most scrumptious ways:
So what about the Pie Championship? Put on annually in April by the American Pie Council (I know! How do I get to be on a Pie Council?!), the championship takes place in Florida and includes categories for both professional and amateur pie makers.
About the competition:
The 2011 APC Crisco National Pie Championships will take place at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL. Amateur pie makers, professional bakers/chefs & commercial pie companies from around the country & Canada have been competing at the NPC since 1995. The APC has created a standard of quality in pie making on all levels. We have a well-established record in the pie-judging field for both amateur bakers, professional and commercial bakers alike.
...flavors will include apple, apple crumb, banana cream, berry, blueberry, cherry, chocolate cream, citrus, coconut cream, cookie/candy cream, open cream, custard, key lime, silk cream, peach, pumpkin, raisin, nut, open, open fruit/berry, peanut butter and Best New Product.Make sure to spend some extra time on the American Pie Council's website - you can find recipes, pie events around the country, and even a pie poster.
Whether you're more excited about pie or football today, just remember that you don't have to choose between them!
P.S. Look closely at the video and see how many PIE BIRDS you can spot during the competition!
