“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmmm, boy.” — Jack Handy
We love pie all year round. Apple. Cherry. Peach. Pecan. Blueberry. Oh Blueberry. But somehow pie in the fall has a special place in our hearts. Apple. Squash. Pecan. Pumpkin. PIE!
I love to bake, so messing around with crust is more of a challenge than a nuisance. But, if you are in the Greater Boston area, and love pie but not making them, consider ordering your Thanksgiving pie from Pie in the Sky.
Pie in the Sky is an annual project of Community Servings, a local charity that provides meals for the critically ill and their families. Pies are donated by local bakers, including some of the area’s best restaurants. Last year, the project raised $380,000.
Pies cost $25.00 each. The deadline for ordering is November 18th, and you can pick up your pie at one of 45 locations in the Greater Boston area on Wednesday November 25th.
Love the Jack Handy quote! I’m also intrigued by the charity. My Soroptimist club tried doing a pie social earlier this year, but we didn’t have a very good turnout and we ended up with almost two dozen leftover pies (which we gave to our local Ronald McDonald Houses, but still). I’m going to bring up this idea with the club and see if they might want to try something similar next Thanksgiving.
