Any pie plans for Pi day (3/14)?

I may make a chicken pot pie.

Well, I do have apples to use, and I have been craving an apple pie.

I have a pumpkin pie in the freezer, sounds like a good day to pull it out.

I am going to be too busy that day to make a pie. I've only made one pie for PI day, normally I'm too busy with Hot Cross Buns to think of baking anything else.
@Mike, if you do a Hot Water Pie crust , do you chill or freeze the dough before use? I went to read Susan Purdy's recipe and she says it needs to be chilled. Other instructions like working with the dough while its still warm.

I've done it both ways, I don't see a lot of difference, though if the dough is cool it usually is easier to transfer into the pan. I've been using a pastry roll-out bag for pie crusts lately, it makes the transfer easier because you just flip the dough onto the pan. I usually let the dough sit out until the filling is ready, at which point it's usually only slightly warm.

Well, I had plans, but I did not get the pie made yesterday, and we were busy this morning. I could have baked it this afternoon, but with my husband's birthday next Tuesday, that would mean two major desserts sharing the same time-space continuum, in a house with just two people, so I will do the apple pie once the cake is gone.

That's a fine looking Pot Pie, Mike.

I made a Pizza Pi, I already posted the pic in the cooking thread.
