The time has come

It is now 3 days until April, and as luck would have it (if anyone still believes in luck) i am in transition to a new home.  i will of course christen this home by baking a pie in it.  When i first moved into my current home i baked a cherry pie before unpacking any boxes.  The only way to find out if a house will in fact become a home is to put something in the oven, and if your like me that something will be pie.  i believe in the power of pie to draw people together, and to call to life our inner instinct to thrive.  Pies have been known to promote peace, harmony, romance, and truth speaking; to inspire music, dance, and rest.
With this blog i hope to bring all those things to you (by some miracle) without you tasting any pies...rest assured all pies involved in this writing are real and have been fed to actual people, some of you lucky readers will have been the recipient of these.  I will chronicle my pie making adventures over the next nine months, including a tally of how much money i spend on pie baking.  It is my goal to get you in your kitchen and build a lasting relationship with your oven, make you think outside the pie box, and show you how pie can change the world one mouth at a time.
do you have a favorite pie?  do you have a suggestion for the first pie i warm my new home with?
what has pie done for you?
