Guest Written by the Pie Guy’s Wife
When my husband came up with the idea of a pie blog I was,
to say the least, skeptical about the possibility of it coming into fruition.
Then the planner part of me started in and helped sketch out a whole year of
pies so if we decided to do this we were completely read to dive in for 52
weeks of a different pie each week. Yes, the Pie Guy will tell you I have a
problem. I think he has actually, at least once.
When we started filling in the months after choosing some
seasonal favorites I looked up National Holidays to tie into. In December I
found National Syrup Day celebrated December 17th. The Pie Guy has a
bit of an obsession with maple syrup. He stops at a specific restaurant on our
trips to his parents’ house to pick up“local” syrup that he hasn’t found an
equivalent to local to our home. He also had a friend who swears by Grade B
syrup, which we finally located in time to make this week’s pie.
