Fundraising-Pie Day!

Like most offices, R&H has a pie club that hosts monthly pie days. (If your office is behind the times, why don't you start one?) Usually everyone pitches in a few dollars, and votes for pie based on the offerings of the local Marie Callenders bakery, leaning heavily towards apple and key lime classics. (Every month my humble cry for 'blueberry!' goes unheeded.) However, this week the Piestapo was generous enough to lend me their time, taste buds and donation jar in exchange for beautiful homemade pies. As a friend put it, " Pie Day-Now with 100% more good pie karma!"

Sarah, my roommate, made her now famous Chocolate Bourbon Pecan pie, while I returned to a childhood favorite, Chocolate Chip, which is really just an excuse to make a giant pie shaped cookie. We also threw in an Apple Sour Cream with Streusel, and Peanut Butter Cream pie with Peanut Butter Cup Topping.

And if that wasn't enough, there were several delicious pies donated by fellow pie lovers, including Cardamon Pear, Chocolate Caramel Banana Cream Pie and Pumpkin.

Thanks to everyone's pie baking (especially Sarah's heroic 2am peanut butter cream), hungry stomachs, and generous donations, I raised over $100 towards my TNT goal.
