Sarah and I are hosting our 5th Annual Pie-Off (I keep capitalizing this differently) soon and we're pretty excited about it. If you can read this and you're in the Twin Cities area, you're invited. Here's the deal:
When: Saturday, September 19 at 4pm
Where: Newell Park in St. Paul - 900 Fairview Ave N., Saint Paul, MN 55104
Who: You and your family or a friend
Cost: A pie!
Why: Pie!
If you don't remember from last fall, this is essentially sanctioned gluttony. People bring pie, everybody eats far more pie than is reasonable, and then we vote on "best of" for different categories. Pies don't need to be entered into specific categories, rather once everybody is done eating we will vote on what pies we think best represent which category. This year our categories are:
Pretty Pretty Princess
'Merica, the Pie
State Fair Wannabe
Not a Pie, but Nice Try
No Kids Allowed
Whether you are an experienced pie baker, or haven't yet ever made a pie of your own, you're welcome to come. Bring a pie, bring something to cut and serve your pie with. We will supply paper plates, forks, and coffee for people as well as some small prizes for the winning pies. I wold just ask that you let me know if you are interested in coming so we can be sure to have enough supplies for everyone. Hope to see you there!
A look at upper Midwestern food in the early 1950s, through the lens of the 1951 Zion Ladies Guild cook book from Zion Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Be they good, or be they filled with gelatin and mayo, I'll be making these dishes and feeding them to my family.
