Friday Pie-Day Feb 17th

We are more than half-way through African American History Month. There are so many very important people to pay tribute to this month, but as a pie shop, we like to pay tribute to Abby Fisher, former slave and then San Francisco resident and author of “What Mrs. Fisher Knows about Old Southern Cooking: Soups, Pickles, Preserves, Etc.,” We also would like to honor George Washington Carver, scientist, botanist, educator and inventor who is widely known for promoting the cultivation and many uses of the peanut and sweet potato.

The sweet potato is often confused with the yam, which did come from Africa, but the sweet potato is from the Americas. Sweet potato pie, however, is a gift from African Americans in the south adapting the British dessert, the pie. For more on the history of sweet potato pie, read this post and recipe by Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie. Did you know the modern pecan was invented by a slave named Anton? Find out more about it here.

It is also Presidents Day Weekend. Sorry, no cherry pie for George Washington (May-June for that) and the cherry tree chopping story was evidently a myth. Abraham Lincoln supposedly liked Pecan, Lemon Custard and/or Apple Pie. For sure, we will have pecan and apple and sweet potato.

Happy Groundhog Day!

It is Groundhog Day and we have a very limited supply of mud pies. Look! That little cookie is a ground hog! And what is this? An organic gummy worm! Who knew they made such a thing (don’t blame us, it was Kristie’s idea). Don’t worry, that’s not dirt, it is chocolate cookie crumbs. Since we only have a few, the early bird will get the worm, so to speak. And speaking of early birds, we will have egg hand pies available this morning for you! Open at 9.

I’m In The Mood ….

for Peanut Butter Pie!

More of our pies are getting in the mood as we approach Valentine’s Day. Who says it has to be all chocolate and roses? Even if it does, we will have a pie with chocolate and roses for you and your sweetie pie.

Today our “pie of the day” is Lemon Meringue, which is looking mighty fine, we must say. If you are in more of a savory mood, try our new Chilean style Beef Empanada!

We were working on a dragon pot pie, but thought it might be too controversial.
