Even though Google Calendar alerted me a month ago that Pi Day was coming up, I forgot about it until this morning when people on Mastodon were showing off their creations. (Pi Day = March 14 — 3.14, get it?)
Imagine how happy I was when I asked the lovely Manon if there was any chance of us making a pie this afternoon, specifically a coconut cream pie, and she said: "Yes."
All we needed was some milk. I promised that I would help. And I did. For example, I pulled numerous things out of the pantry, measured the instructed quantities of sugar and flour, washed things that had become dirty (including a number of measuring spoons that I found to be higher than I would have expected) and did a bit of stirring.
However, I must acknowledge that it was the lovely Manon who really made the pie(s).
Here she is with the full-size pie.
And here is me eating one of the two miniature ones she made for me.
The basic pie filling recipe came from The Joy of Cooking, Rombauer and Rombauer Becker, 1975.
For the meringue topping, Manon used Better Homes and Gardens: Pies and Cakes, 1966
