Thanks to Twitter Pals @Vasilly and @ChrisBookaRama and @BooksandWine, I was reminded that today is National Pie Day according to the American Pie Council. and guess what!? I was taking a break from making a pie to check my blog and Twitter! Can you say ‘serendipity’?
This Chocolate -Strawberry Pie was loosely inspired by a pie from the movie Waitress. I first layered a chocolate pudding, then a mixture of whipped cream – marshmallow Fluff – cream cheese and a touch of Chambord and the top layer of sliced fresh strawberries. The berries taste so good, I didn’t want to cook them down into the traditional glazed strawberry concoction. It’s now in the fridge chillin’; awaiting its place as final course dessert to my husband’s sausage-escarole-white bean soup dinner.
FYI, March 14 is PI (Π) day and I will make a pie that day, too. We can also expect a pie on Pi Approximation Day, July 22. Read why here. 
Now, back to Bloggiesta!

Your pie looks so good, Care!
Thanks so much for tweeting at me!
Your strawberry pie looks to die for. . . great job with the strawberry pattern. And I LOVED Waitress! I was drooling and I just wanted to taste all those pies. . . I wonder if they gave recipes in the DVD extras. I actually have all the makings of an apple pie so I might have to make one today. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks! You’ve reminded me that I also want to make more pizza-PIES.
Enjoy your apple pie.
Wow, what a coincidence! I too made pie this weekend, although in my case it was meat pies, so not pie in the classical sense. Still counts! I sang the pie song from Waitress while I was doing it. :p Your pie looks delicious.
That SO counts! I have a goal to make more savory pies this year. YAY PIE!
Oh that looks SOOOOO good!
I KNOOOOOOOOOOW!
That pie is beautiful – almost too pretty to cut.
Fresh strawberries dress up any situation.
I would love to have the pie in my house right now. It is truly gorgeous and I love the movie Waitress. Also, the soup sounds fantastic that you’re making! XOX
Make yourself a pie! Football playoffs and soup just go together. I got lucky with the pie idea.
Thanks for the news flash! I’m in no condition to bake a pie today, but I could send my husband over to Marie Callender’s to buy one…
Great idea! Hope you have a comfortably book-filled pleasant fast recovery for your shoulder.
That pie looks too pretty to eat!
No such thing. It’s already half gone. I should have snapped a photo of a slice with the whipcream and jimmies…
Waitress really is a movie that makes me drool. Nathan Fillion…and pies, too.
WAIT! oh yes! Nathan Fillion is in Castle! THAT’s what I know him from, the movie Waitress. DOH.
I am here for pie.
It looks so yummy! On March 13th I will be taking the Polar Plunge for special Olympics when you celebrate Pi day…. whatkind of pie do you suppose that would be?
Polar Plunge! GOOD for you! They do that here, too. I wonder if it is the same day – everywhere? do you know? Guess I will just ask. IS that where you collect pledges if you really do it? I would give to your campaign… do you have an online way to give?!
Maybe I’ll go look but do send me a link if you got one.
I will make you a pie in honor, too. How about a Peppermint Patty Ice Cream Pie – would that work?
STEALS THE PIE!! :O
Hey, if you just ask, I’ll make you one.
Yummmmm. Could you make me one?
Looks so delicious. I think I’ll wait until strawberries are back in season, though! right now they are twice as much as they normally are.
