It’s Presidents Day ‘Washington’s Birthday’ the only official federal
holiday during this short month.
Banks, post offices and schools are closed; for the rest of us it’s business
as usual.
George Washington, the first president of the United States, favored cherries.
The cherry-tree myth, a famous iconic legend dates back to his childhood days.
A little history of the pie:
1. Pie arrived in America with the first settlers.
2. The colonists cooked their pies in ‘coffyns’, long narrow pans.
3. Crusts, designed to hold the filling during baking process, usually
weren’t eaten.
Fast forward . . .
Cherry pie is often referred to as a ‘great American dish’.
Countless recipes of this pie are available in cookbooks.
Creative cooks search for new versions of this pie on the image-based
social media network, Pinterest.
A slice of homemade cherry pie contains approximately 486 calories.
Far from a pie enthusiast today in celebration of National Cherry Pie Day
cherry pie served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream (personal preference)
embodies definite appeal.
Visual sample of a cherry-baked cookie 😊 yummie.
