Happy Pi Day! Celebrate by solving problems with NASA, write a poem in Pilish, live stream events at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, or grab a good deal on a pizza. It’s been a while since we did a quiz. Let’s uncover your innermost secrets through your pie preference.
I got:
Hidden Self You’re afraid that no one knows the REAL you. You only let a few people get close, and you put up walls with most people. You’re worried people won’t understand or accept your true personality. Your close friends are the only ones who really see you.
Ooh, I’m mysterious!
Anyway, custard and cream pies are better than fruit. Pumpkin and lemon meringue are the best, blueberry is an abomination. These are not opinions, they are facts. But I’m willing to listen to your misguided beliefs to the contrary.
Yummmmm, I love a good macadamia nut cream pie. I am definitely going to take my daughter to Ted’s in May…

No big pie days for me today, we are heading north for a few days and get some snowboarding in before the conditions turn to shit. It has been too long since I have been on my board.
Enjoy yourself and be safe!
I will be the heretic for today and say that cake is better than pie, especially if butter cream frosting is involved.
My result was Secret Perfectionist:
I got the same thing but I would argue that it’s no secret that it gets on my nerves when people question my ways!
You proved yourself yesterday by baking the best pie – pumpkin. I will not question your ways.
Cake is definitely better than pie, especially a good Bundt cake. 😈
CAKE > PIE
Best pies:
1. Banana Cream
2. Chocolate Cream
3. Apple
4. Peach
5. Key Lime
6. Blueberry
7. Pumpkin
8. Cherry
9. Peanut Butter
10. Lemon Ice Box
Worst Pies:
1-Infinity. Any pie with that fucking, disgusting meringue.
You don’t like meringue? That’s proof that you are certifiable. I always make mine mile high because you can’t have too much meringue. Peach is the superior fruit pie. Blueberry belongs in the garbage.
I like to dance the merengue. Is that the same thing?
Close enough!
Just pile a bunch of styrofoam on top of your pies. It has the same texture as meringue and probably tastes better.
There’s a place on Chicago Avenue in the city called “Hoosier Mama Pies” that makes the world’s best chocolate cream pie. In the summer, the smell when you walk by the place makes you weak in the knees. And when they cut you a slice, they cut a serious slice.
I used to go the De Pasada for their flautas and then stroll the half-block down for a piece of pie. Then I would have to lay down.
I haven’t had chocolate cream pie in a long time. Now I want some!
Sweet potato > Pumpkin
Sweet potato pie is garbage. Full stop.
You have all the hot taeks today!
I do like sweet potato pie too.
Key lime pie has got to be top three if not 1st.
…if it’s heresy you’re after, look no further…for I suspect I may have a take that’s more heretical even than claiming meringue isn’t bad?
…the first time I was invited to a pi(e) day celebration I entirely forgot the whole cultural-context thing & it never even occurred to me that I might be thinking of the wrong thing entirely…but…savory pies>desert pies
…so I made a steak&ale pie (technically beef & guinness, I guess) & took that along
…I can’t be the only heretic, though…not only did that get demolished with alacrity (to the point that I nearly missed out on my own creation) but I was invited back the following year on the strict understanding that I’d “make the same pie…only, maybe a bit bigger?”
So you’ve been hiding your baking skills from us! Nothing wrong with a savory pie, although I prefer chicken.
Once upon a time, there was an Irish restaurant which used to serve the most amazing Guinness pie.
Nothing in this world beats a good chicken pot pie in the dead of winter.
You finally said something sensible!
My statements are irrefutable facts of the universe, like the laws of physics.
secret perfectionisnt (oh look,,,i invented a new word..i like it enough that im not going to fix it)
anyways….the description seems to fit me well enough…but i wonder how it got there when all my answers were its okay,maybe and yes
Buzzfeed knows the real you, lol. 🎶Twilight Zone theme🎶
I got the Imposter Syndrome one.
As for Pie Day, mine started Saturday, because that’s when the local “Fancy Grocery Store (As EdieB used to call it😉), started their Pie Day Weekend sale!😁😁😁
So I got a slice of Key Lime pie for $3.14, and a half-pie of their Mint French Silk for the $1.57 off.
I’ve had an obnoxious craving for the single-serve pieces of mint-chocolate cake that used to be at my old grocery store (which haven’t been in stock there for a few months now!🙃), and the Mint French Silk Pie is a good “second choice.”
Eta, the other sweet pie I’ve been craving, which is incredibly reasonably priced (15.99 for a whole pie!), is from Sarah Jane’s bakery over in Nordeast. They’re closed on Mondays–whiiiich is good for both my budget snd my ‘beetus, because otherwise I’d be very tempted to go get their Rhubarb Custard pie. It’s pretty similar to a banana cream or coconut cream pie, but it’s made with rhubarb instead, and sooooooo good😉😁🤤
Martha has a recipe, of course, annnnd I may try making one, if I can snag some Rhubarb later this spring/summer;

The French Silk Mint Pie looks fantastic!
my work decided to celebrate pi day by treating everyone to a food in which pi is central
loemPIa…yeah…they worded that pretty litterally….that’d be spring rolls btw
was a lifesaver too….i managed to have a shitty nights sleep but still oversleep enough that i didnt have time for breakfast….
spring rolls to the rescue! by the time i got to leave work i felt halfway human again
That was a nice surprise.
