How I Celebrated

So, I have never had a Rhubarb Pie before today so it was the perfect day to try one. We went to four n 20, a cafe that our friend Drewski recommended to us while he was here. It was a strawberry rhubarb pie, and I think that might also be another day in the future, so if there are not any other foods celebrated on that day, I'll either have to get creative or just have another. Don't mind if I do....
Happy National Pie Day!

History

Here is punchbowl on national pie day
 I'm trying to remember if I have ever tried rhubarb pie. I remember that Pam doesn't like it on the office. I think my grandma tried to grow it in her backyard. Makes sense, it looks like it is a Southern Pie.
