August Twenty Fourth
A PERFECT DAY TO PLUG IN
​YOUR WAFFLE IRONS
​

#296
Just how much bourbon
Goes into the caramel
Depends on the day

#295
Pie later but now
Peach fritters spicy sugar
Because it's Friday
​

#294
Security pause
Nothing to declare I swear
Who me?  Step aside?
​

#293 
Cornmeal dusted cheek
Out damned olive oil spot!
Need a vacation

#292
Popovers baking
Don't open the oven door
To peek. Don't do it

#291
Grill doused in showers
Rain soaked peaches forced indoors
Hello, cast iron
​​

#290
Wipe away the tears
With  your cleanest oven mitt
Pie break-ups, the worst

#289
Some berries are best
When simply dressed and served with
A side of pie crust
​​

#288
Coconut Cream Pride
Because love is love is love
And pie doesn't judge
​​

#287
A thief in the dawn
Smuggles a slice of pie in
​Cloak of Tupperware

#286
Surf's up,  pool's open
Distraction ruffle swimsuit
After too much pie
​

#285
Fresh Bluebarb pie  is
Guaranteed to  stain that new
White shirt you just bought
​

#284
Uncommon plate mates
King Arthur's yellow cake with
A side  of pie plant​

​#283
One  case rhubarb yields
Two dozen lattice pies and
Ten  red stained fingers
​​​

#282
Rhubarb's running late
Forcing pie shells to sing the
Out of season blues

#281
Happy Passover
Eat your macaroons but know
They're not macarons

#280
Happy Birthday to
Edna Lewis, sung by a
Chorus of pie birds
​

#279
Hot blueberry pie
Impatient hands,  slice too soon
Puddles on the plate

#278
Once loved frozen fruit
Frostbitten in the freezer
Make room for rhubarb

#277
Til' next year Pi(e) Day
Getting down to Guinness and
Happy Ides of March
​

#276
Pineapple pie  might
Be just the ticket after
Some green eggs and ham

#275
Rommy taught us well
Even in matters of the
J-E-L-L-O
​​

#274
Phil hops the red eye
On the eve of Groundhog's Day
Then  back to LA

#273
Pie plates are loafin'
Orange you glad there's citrus
In January

#272
Likely chance of snow
Hunkering down to bake please
Turn the oven on
​​

#271
It's my  party and
I'll pie if I want to or
I just might  cake walk

#270
​​Thanks, Trader Joe's for
The Meyer lemons sorry
They  rolled all  over

#269
Apple pie resolves
To work off that double crust
Galette-ing in shape
​​

#268
Pie-bye, December
Don't let the oven door hit
You on the way out
​

#267
The gingerbread man
Booked a flight to Boca the
​Day after Christmas

#266
You  didn't say there's
Royal icing in my hair
Until we got home

#265
Leave it to Memphis
For inspiring perfect
​Hanukkah doughnuts
​

#264
Seven hundred and
Seventy five pies later
Three personal pies

#263
Late to Friendsgiving
Where's my Tupperware? This pie's
Too hot to handle

#262
Pie-standers love to 
Offer their opinion  but
Rarely bring dessert
​​

#261
Don't candy-coat it
Halloween upstages pie
For now,   not for long

​#260
Dreams of appeltaart
Enough  already jet-lag
That clock  must be wrong

#259
Security line
Please don't  make me miss my train
Running,  running, run...
​

​#258
Well hello, Oslo
Don't let the world pass you pie
Later, rolling pin
​​

#257
Why must you, Anjou?
Pearful what you wish for or
Face the 'sleepy' pear

#256
Stealthy lemon seed
The one that got away and
Turned up in your pie

#255
Mixer's on  speed  three
When you think it's on speed one
Need a fresh apron
​

#254
'Til next time white shoes
Miss you already peach pie
Stop pushing,  apple

#253
Wordsmith Neil Simon
Wrote of crackers  before they
Were hipster pie crusts

#252
Said the pastry cream
To the donut peach, you could
Use a  few sprinkles

#251
A toast to Julia
A birthday without a crepe
Is just a meeting
​

#250
Aren't nectarines
Simply peaches without   a
Five o'clock shadow?
​​

#249
Excuse me, sheet pan
Might I borrow you for pie?
For dinner?   No thanks

#248
Fruit with a lake view
Not quite the right pie plate but
Success nonetheless

#247
Sure, Carpe Fruit-em
Pie them and scone them but please
Don't squeeze them, they bruise
​​

#246
Don't wake the peaches
Dozing in brown paper bags
They're a bit fuzzy
​

#245
Beneath the striped tent
Cherry pies, Unicorn cake
​July 4th Bake-Off

#244
Pie plates sleeping late
Summer nectarines, cherries
Come   and galette it

#243 
June  boasts strawberries
Pile them high in shortcakes
Fill tart shells, bake pies
​

#242
Cherry stained fingers
Pre-race day carbo-scone-ing
Gorges Ithaca

#241
Blue is bustin'  out
All over the pie plate and
My clean white apron

#240
All too short but sweet
Local strawberry season
​Simply loverly
​

​#239
Meghan and Harry's
Deconstructed wedding cake
​Waiting for my slice

#238
Eatin' Eaton mess
Instead of pigeon pie when
Harry weds Meghan

#237
Say it with bubbly
Or bouquets in spring pinks or
Rhubarb pie. Thanks, Mom.
​

​#236
Freckle-faced berries
Warmed by the sun, sweetest when
Eaten out of hand

​#235
Pie meets drip cake and
Wonders- did someone leave the 
Cake out in the rain?

#234
Crunch time is taxing
Slice of pie, cup of coffee
Spiral expense book
​

#233
Hopeful for spring pie
The only thing in season
​Is snow, not rhubarb

#232
It's not spring until
Mother Nature says it's spring
So stop your whining

#231
Lemon meringue and
Gingerbread sit at the bar
They order Guinness
​

#230
Less snow, more spring, please
Citrus splashes pies and tarts
Forkfuls of sunshine

#229
Poor  Hamantaschen
Now sporting sprinkles, longs for
​Poppy seeds and prune

#228
Kumquats are pie shy
Yet  perfectly bittersweet
It's just the damn seeds
​

#227
A true pie-fecta
Chocolate, cherries, cheesecake
'Til next time Cupid

#226
On one's ninetieth
No debate, Pie vs. Cake
​A little of each

#225
Ziploc bags of spring
Squirreled away in deep freeze
You don't scare me, Phil
​

#224
National Pie Day
Don't confuse it with Pi Day
​Both fine days for pie
​

#223
Need pie-spiration
Mrs. Beeton's Cookery
And Meyer lemons

#222
​In January
Down jackets, upturned collars
The sass of citrus

#221
Two thousand eighteen
Resolutions don't apply
To slices of pie
​

​#220
Watch your step, pie bird
You've landed amidst pie crust
Artful, not humble

​#219
As you celebrate
Wishing you pie-dings of joy 
Lashings of merry

​#218 
Happy Hanukkah
Beware the box grater when
Making your latkes
​​

#217
Pie  might turn a Grinch
Into a Cindy Lou Who
With just one forkful

#216
When doughnut dough opts
To twist then loaf in a pan
We call it Babka

#215
Grateful on Friday
For three kinds of breakfast pie
​Followed by a nap

#214
Pie-1-1 Hotline
Embrace the humble in pie
And find the laughter
​​

#213 
Don't  squash my pie dreams
Step gingerly towards the gourd
We call butternut

#212
Pie-vember slinks in
Pins rolling,  flour flying
And away we dough
​​

#211
Peariodically
You just need a fistful,  not
An entire pie

#210
One coast's cinnamon
Is another's cardamom
  Feel the heat, spice girls
​

#209
I yam what I yam
Sweet,  spiked with bourbon and just
 A little nutty

#208
When you're pear contraire
It's crust a matter of time
Before apple wins

​#207
Don't rush things, Pumpkin
Let's stop and smell the apples
And the raspberries
​​

#206
Show me the honey
And  the apple cakes, I'll show
You a challah-day

#205
High Holidays lurk
Apples, honey, cider, pies
Tell me, what's the Rosh?

​#204
Stone fruit's last hurrah
You think I can't you see you but
​I see you apple

#203
Hey there, September
As summer rolls into fall
It's time to peach out

#202
Hungry not hungry
Comfort in a custard pie
​Sorry, not sharing
​

#201
When buttercream tiers
  With fondant blooms just won't do
Then here comes the pied
​

​#200
Ice cream in August
Happily teamed with pie or
Twisted, dipped, dripping

#199
Practice what you peach
Preferably in a tart
Filled with almond cream

#198
Far better than work
A weekend in the country
Baking pie with friends

#197
Bitter is better
Aperol orange with ice
Or chiffoned in pie

#196
Set me free clingstone
You just keep me hangin' on
Not peachy.  Not keen.
​

#195
Where is the meat pie?
London always seems to say,
"​Out of that today"

#194
Star-spangled flavors
Cherries, rhubarb, and bitters
4th of July pie

#193
Craving deep-dish peach
Peel a cookbook from the shelf
Springform standing  by
​

​#192
Stone fruits of summer
Smooth nectarine,  fuzzy peach
Both cobbler worthy
​​

#191
Red carpet high heels
Raspberry stained fingertips
You can dress her up...

#190
Welcome, month of June
​Doughnuts have a holiday
​Brides. Pies. Prom-posals.

#189
Memorial Day
Pie shells pleading for summer
Gladly sing the blues
​​

#188
Good hot black coffee
And a slice of cherry pie
​Welcome to Twin Peaks

#187
Happy Mother's Day
Eat some pie for breakfast. Why?
Because I said so.

#186
Chocolate and nuts
Jockeying for  position
With bourbon, in pie
​

#185
Other than summer
It's the most wonderful time
Of the year to pie

​#184
Ribbons of rhubarb
Welcome spring's leading lady
And Hello, Dolly
​

#183
Holidays linger
But don't worry- be hoppy
Mom's Day not til May
​​

​#182
Not a Peep from me
Push the pause on pate brisee
Make mine macaroon

#181
Weary of apples
Some days  a pie whisperer
Others, pie screamer

​#180
When pies and cakes pose
More than four questions, might I
Suggest  a fruit bowl?

#179
When you're pie,  not beer
Not so  easy being green
On St. Patrick's Day

#178
Hamantaschen are
The original handpies
​Name them for the queen
​

#177
Countdown to Pi(e) day
But first- a hat wearing cat
And pineapple pie

#176
Sunday night  viewing
 The Oscar goes to popcorn
Poor  Twizzlers see red

#175
Be still my  sniffles
Cold remedy by the slice
Kleenex by the box
​

#174
A nod to Mozart
For Galentine's, Valentine's
Chocolate, nuts, rose

​#173 
Punxsutawney Phil
Again, dashes dreams of spring
My thoughts turn to pie

#172
Well hello, Phyllo
Orange you available?
For pie? It's a date.
​

#171
Field trip biscotti
Is more portable than pie
Bring your own coffee
​

#170
It's my party and
I'll pie if I want to, please
Pass the Cheesy Puffs

​#169
Purpose of your trip?
Pub crawl, pie crawl, bacon, cheese
Toronto New Year

​#168
Pause the rolling pin
Pistachio buttercream
Yellow cake. Birthday.
​

#167
Just itchin' to ice
An ugly Christmas sweater
Holiday bake-off

#166
When Hanumas lurks
And weather outside's frightful
Brrr-bon brown butter

#165
The Windy City
It's pie kind of town, Chi-town
It's also too cold
​

​#164
A respite between
Thanksgiving and Mistletoe
Peanut Butter Pie

​#163
Happiness is pie
For breakfast on the Friday
After Thanksgiving

#162
I remember when
Turducken and Cherpumple
Were hip. That was then.
​

#161
Please pass the pumpkin
In a blind-baked pie shell and
Not as a latte 
​​

#160
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Remember, remember the
Cognac and Ginger
​​

#159
Pining for Provence
And inching towards Pie-vember
Hurry- Quince me quick!

#158
Caught you red handed
Tarte Tatin begs oven mitts
​Told you it was hot
​

#157
Woman on the verge
Of a boeuf-butter breakdown
Pass the galette, please

#156
Brits prefer their pies
Less sweet, more savory but
Save room for puddings
​

#155
Surprise! Apples in
​The apple cake and honey
In the honey cake

#154
Playing with pie dough
Someone's at the kitchen door
Knock knock. Who's there? Fall.

​#153
Pie indecision
No one loves an apple when 
They really want peach

#152
Don't forget your lunch!
There's peanut butter unless
That's just not your jam
​

#151
Back-to-school biscuits
Just a little bit corny
September again

#150
Gin, splash of tonic
In a Walkers shortbread crust
No oven. Serve chilled.
​

#149
With each forkful of
Raspberry rhubarb pie I'm
​Closer to the gate

#148
Slab pie is merely
Thinking outside the pie plate
​And forks? Optional

#147
Suddenly August
Sweet yellow peaches are scarce
Blame February

​#146
 Peaches? Not peachy
 But there is something borrowed,
Something blueberry

#145
A day at the peach
Clingstone, freestone, yellow, white
Better with bourbon
​​

#144
Toasty meringue and
Ice cream pie with fudge when it's
Too darn hot outside
​

​#143
Twelve thousand new friends
 On the lawn at Tanglewood  
Share a slice of pie

#142
A splash of bourbon
In cherry pie, considered
Old-fashioned by some

#141
Ithaca's Gorges
Running from the hiccup guy
Towards the Bluebarb pie
​​

#140
Peace of pie- flavors
As vivid as a rainbow
Beneath cornmeal crumb

#139
You say Campari
I say Negroni, Kool says
Celebrate Good Times
​

​#138
Beneath the lattice
In an unassuming pie
Revenge can be sweet
​​

​#137
Note to self again
Remember- the pies just baked
Are not what they wan

#136
They tell me to chill
So I will- with a double
​Scoop of gelato.

#135
After several 
Glasses of Chianti, I
Now speak Italian.

#134
Seattle Sister
Pens this week's post because she's
Home and I am not.

#133
What? There's pie to eat 
In London and Tuscany?
Fine. If you insist.
​​

#132
Let my people go
And eat a little flour
Or we'll be cranky

#131
Why Elijah, why
Is my box of matzoh meal
Always expired?
​

​#130
Rhubarb's back in town
As sassy as a tart tongued
Cell phoning patron

​#129
Never a Girl Scout
Please Sir, I want Samoa
Scouts are smart cookies

​#128
Hamantaschen and
Bunnies hoppin'- I'm falling
Down the rabbit hole
​

#127
Lucky, lucky me
Bring on the Hamantaschen
With a side of Peeps

​#126
Love you, loathe you March
Shamrocks, Hamantash, Bunnies
Celebrate Pi(e) Day!

#125
Celebrating Seuss
Red and white hats, green eggs, ham
The Doctor is in
​

#124
Life gives you lemons
And also limes so it helps
​To have a juicer
​

#123
The berries you bought
For a week's worth of breakfasts?
​Baked into biscuits
​

#122
Love is in the air
And the powdered sugar which
Takes my breath away

#121
On a bumpy flight
But it's out of my control
I'm just the pie-lette

#120
You know I'd love to
But if I help shovel snow
Who will bake the pie?
​

​#119
Wait- you're telling me
That's a freezer, not a fridge?
I thought it felt cold...
​

​#118
Where are my sweat pants?
Boston boasts more than cream pie
Skinny jeans don't lie
​

#117
Don't pie for me, Sir
The truth is my downfall was
The wayward gravel
​

#116
Ringing in the New
Boozy cakes and tipsy pies
I'll be fast asleep
​

#115
Ho-Ho-Ho... Oh No!
I turned off the oven, right?
I'm certain. I think.
​

#114
When mixing meringue
It's a marshmallow world so
Be sure to wear white

#113
I'd love to attend
Responded the humble pie
I'll dress as a tart
​

​#112
Kugel meets latke
In a cast iron skillet
 Hanukkah pie, sweet!
​

#111
Pie-lapalooza
Pumpkin and Wild Nut and
A sliver of Mince
​

#110
Don't mince words, Pumpkin
You want your pie baked Thursday?
​Doesn't everyone

#109
Pass the pate brisee
Five hundred pie shells to roll
Never mind, I'm sick

​#108
Dear Apple and Pear,
Might I tag along with you?
Signed, Your Cousin, Quince

#107
​Déjà boo again
Costume parade snakes through town
Happy Halloween

#106
I can't quite hear you
How do you spell your name, please
Hello? Hello? Click.
​​

#105
If the Great Pumpkin
Was truly great, my pie would
Be gourd-geous, no cracks
​​

#104
When pie peeps gather
Best to observe the dress code
Wear your stretchy pants
​​

#103
Goin' to Grapeland
Where the air smells purple and
 Concords fill the pies
​

#102
Anjou, Bosc, Bartlett
People turn pearsnickety
When they want apple ​

#101
Need a co-pie-lette
GPS says, "You are here."
Lies. There's nothing here.

#100
After the umpteenth 
Honey cake and apple cake
Happy New Year pie
​

#99
Squabbling over
The last peach pies of summer
Bring on the apples
​

#98
Maine slip and fallin'
May Day! May Day! Goin' down...
Pie-buprofen, please

#97 
Farewell fuzzy peach
Welcome sweet-tart plums
Not so fast, pumpkin
​

#96
Now it's very clear
Seasons change and so do pies
Bye bye summer crew
​

#95
Ode to the white peach
Perfectly eaten in hand
Or in a biscuit

#94
Birthday Surprise Pie
Hidden so very well I
Can't remember where

#93
Pie plate real estate
Summer sublets of stone fruit
Make mine pineapple
​

#92 
Congratulations!
You are the proud parents of...
Slice the pie and see

#91
It's just peachy when
Caramel and Sriracha
Join the pie party

#90
Happy July 4th
Fireworks of fruit, but please
Don't ask for apple
​

#89
Sweet fruits of summer
I love you by the bushel
Puzzled by the peck

#88
Ithaca's gorgeous
Not a pie-athlon merely
A race through the hills

#87
Pie baker by day
Trades kitchen clogs for heels on
Tony Awards night
​

#86
Pie plate destiny
Cherries swingin' on a stem
Beware the stray pit

#85 
Squooshed on train and street
Do not jostle this bag, Sir
It holds George's pie

#84
Impatient baker
Served fresh strawberry puddle
The pie's too darn hot
​

#83 
What's your sign? he asked
Don't tell me... is it Pie-ces?
No. Butter fingers.

#82
Have pie will travel
To the LA Pie Social
Bring your rolling pin

#81
House of Pies beckons
Unable to resist I
Choose a slice to go

#80
Not a baker's bench
A park bench beneath spring skies
Just as sweet as pie

#79
Celebration Pie
For sweet Blondilocks and Pa
Please save me a slice
​

#78
Butterscotch Pecan
Aptly named Distraction Pie
Because- where was I?

#77
Meringues, macaroons
Reese's peanut butter eggs
On sale on Monday

You're no bunny til'
Some bunny loves rhubarb more
Than marshmallow peeps
​

#75
Post Pie Day Hoopla
Biscuits with bacon and eggs
Maple syrup side

#74
Pie Socializing
Three point one four one five day
Hold on to your fork

#73
Pass the poppy seeds
Hamantaschen, Purim Pie
Way to go, Esther
​

#72
If there is no pie
Then there is no happiness
A slice of wisdom
​

#71
And the winner is...
Nutella- by the spoonful
Or baked in a pie

#70
Stupid Cupid, set
Me free from the bakery
Don't you have a heart?

#69
When is it pie time?
When the clock strikes After Eight
Or when I say so
​

#68
Hey! Snow Day! I want
A do-over. One day more
To bake pie in peace
​

#67
National Pie Day
Random acts of pie-ness, yes
Share pie with a friend
​

#66
Where's the Quiet Car?
Prague to Vienna, best to
Look out the window
​

#65
Kaffee kulture means
Coffee in a paper cup
Is a rarity

#64
Oodles of strudels
Steamy cocoa topped with 'schlag'
Winter holiday

#63
Cindy Lou Who bakes
Rugelach for Hanukkah
Honestly, who knew?

#62
Red royal icing
Pales in comparison with
The red of my nose
​

#61
Roll out the jolly
It's all about the cookies
Well earned Pie-atus

#60
Beware the thin slice
Don't let Ellen cut the pie
Happy Thanksgiving
​

#59
Pie Anxiety
When you wake to find your dream
Is reality

#58
Not in a good way
The cinnamon scented broom
Takes my breath away

#57
Pie-oh-neer Women
Unafraid of Thanksgiving
Keep rolling along
​

#56
You say potato
I say yam and bourbon and
Brittle on the side

#55
One for the Baker
Is why a Baker's Dozen
Is thirteen not twelve

#54
Beware the sharp knife
When prepping quinces for pie
Espresso can wait

#53
I just can't help it
Gluten free mini cupcakes
Make me plum crazy

#52
The long, winding road
Leads to chocolate walnut
When pears are not ripe
​

#51
The apple cake sticks
In the non-stick Bundt pan try
Apple pie instead

#50
And when the rains came
Commercial plastic wrap saved
The pies from drowning

#49
How do you keep her
In New Jersey now that she's
Seen Rensselaerville?
​

#48
Jell-O and Cool Whip
Cozy in a pie shell but
Nellie and Joe win

#47
A pie tour you say?
Where is Ellen to play judge?
Unavailable

#46
Can I have a job?
Cover letter, Resume
It's Boston Cream PIE?
​

#45
Gone to read and write
See you in September, please
Turn off the oven
​

#44
Hey! It's your birthday
But you ate all the peaches
Sigh... No pie for you

#43
Fresh raspberry pie?
Swedish Chef nods bork! bork! bork!
And serves Snozzberry

#42
Lattice be pie pals
Cherry said to apricot
Won't crimp your style
​

#41
Don't say I never
Baked you your very own pie
Happy Father's Day

#40 
Elbow meets oven
Hip meets corner of table
Baker black and blue

#39
Guilty cried the Judge
What is my crime, Your Honor?
No pie for the Judge
​

#38
Rhubarb is not fruit
It's a vegetable that stained
My new white shirt red

#37
No pie on Pesach
Coconut macaroons will
Rise above the rest

#36
Here comes cherry pie
There goes the white tablecloth
Where is the stain stick?
​

#35
Challenging road trip
Poor tire flat as pie dough
Pass me the 'donut'

#34
Could not did not sleep
Now it's half past dark thirty
Time to make the pies

#33
Mile High Pie, Sigh
Wish I were in New Orleans
It's not snowing there
​

#32
Non-stick cooking spray
I loathe thee You're slippery
Whoops drop whoops drop whoops

#31
Distracted baker
Add the powder, soda, salt
Wait. Didn't I just...?

#30
Pizza pie perches
On the roof of my car for
Just a second, whoops...
​

#29
He says I'm kneady
I thought we were just peachy
Truth is, he's flaky

#28
My Cherry amour
Pretty little pie that I
Adore a la mode

Proclaim your pie dependence
Red, white, blueberry

Baked you your very own pie
Happy Father's Day
​

#23
Elbow meets oven
Hip meets corner of table
Baker black and blue

#22
Smoke gets in your eyes
When you think the pie plate is
Deep dish but it's not

#21
Uncork the champagne 
Slice up the strawberry tart
No more tuition

#20
Graduation Pie
Two parts pineapple one cream
Magna Rum Laude

#19
No breakfast in bed
Baking pies all the day long
Where's my Mimosa?

What'll it be Pal?
cinco de Mayo Pie-oh
And a whipped cream shot
​

#17
Guilty cried the Judge
What is my crime, Your Honor?
No pie for the Judge

#16
Rhubarb is not fruit
It's a vegetable that stained
My new white shirt red

#15
No pie on Pesach
Coconut macaroons will
Rise above the rest
​

#14
Here comes cherry pie
There goes the white tablecloth
Where is the stain stick?

#13
Mr. Oven Man
Thank you Three fifty is now
Really Three fifty

#12
Challenging road trip
Poor tire flat as pie dough
Pass me the 'donut'

#11
Could not did not sleep
Now it's half past dark thirty
Time to make the pies

#10
Three point one four day
Is just around the corner
Pre-heat your oven
​

#9
Mile High Pie, Sigh
Wish I were in New Orleans
It's not snowing there
​

#8
Non-stick cooking spray
I loathe thee You're slippery
Whoops drop whoops drop whoops

#7
Snowmageddon falls
I will shovel then eat pie
And curse the Groundhog 
​

#6
Distracted baker
Add the powder, soda, salt
Wait. Didn't I just...?

#5
Pizza pie perches
On the roof of my car for
Just a second, whoops...
​

#4
Apple Cinnamon
Kindred to pie and strudel
Bagels? Not so much

#3
Grapefruit seeks pie shell
Meringue loves only lemon
Grapefruit sits alone

#2
Holidays be still
My rolling pin is weary
January.  Sigh

#1 
Why do I forget
The left-handed oven mitt
It has a hole. Ouch
