Pie is love

OK, so you totally didn’t get Pi Day back in March. Will the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter feed the soul like your grandmother’s lemon meringue? No! It’s time to raid the recipe box for Canterbury Shaker Village’s Everybody Loves Pie pie contest May 31 in Canterbury, N.H. Any homemade pie is welcome, from traditional apple to one of your own invention. Prizes (which include cooking classes and gift certificates from The Shaker Table) will be awarded to the top winners. The entry fee is $10, and procrastinators are in luck: Pies will be accepted through noon on May 31. The pie contest is one of the highlights of Canterbury Shaker Village’s Simply Food Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be cooking classes, craft demonstrations, hayrides, tours, and food samples galore. (General admission: adults $15; 60 and over $13; $7 kids 17 and under, free for children under 6.) According to its website, Canterbury Shaker Village is ‘‘dedicated to preserving the 200-year legacy of the Canterbury Shakers and to providing a place for learning, reflection, and renewal of the human spirit.’’ If that renewal includes eating pie, count me in.
