Did You Know Last Saturday Was International Pie For Breakfast Day?

I missed it, but I learned about it and found this fantastic quote on my daily read, EvenCleveland:

Pie is the American synonym of prosperity, and its varying contents mark the calendar of the changing seasons. PIE IS THE FOOD OF THE HEROIC. No pie-eating people can ever be vanquished.

The New York Times, 1902

I need to make some pie!
