JD<p>Pre-COVID, I baked a pie almost every week for a little over a year. It was a very fun project, I learned so much about my favorite dessert, refined techniques, experienced new pies (Dried Apple Pie was probably my favorite forgotten pie). It was all documented on a site named “Year of Pie.” It was lost to SquareSpace, though.</p><p>But thanks to a post from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@toddtyrtle" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>toddtyrtle</span></a></span>, I discovered that static site generators had become a thing. With the help of the Way Back Machine, I was able to grab an 90% complete version of the old text. And all the old photos have been on a hard drive, because why toss pics of pie?</p><p>So, it’s rough. There are major missing pieces. There are obvious layout issues. Old posts are being added every few days, but happy enough to put it out there.</p><p>Edit: American sweet pies, not English savory pies. Though a few of those were made later in the project. </p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>baking</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/pie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pie</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/dessert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dessert</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/southernFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>southernFood</span></a></p><p><a href="https://yearofpie.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">yearofpie.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
