Pie Party Potluck LIVE! 10/15 12-3

Lemon meringue pie was the first pie I ever made. Edie, my mom’s best friend, taught me how to bake during the summers we spent with her in Copake Lake. She gave me my first cookbook, The Joy Of Cooking. I was so lucky to have her in my life, I loved her. She contracted Alzheimer’s disease when she was in her late 40’s and passed away after a very long time being battled by it.

I’ve made what seems like a zillions of pies since then, but the first one was the catalyst. Wherever Edie is, I know she’s thrilled to bits that those first lessons have led to Pie Party Potluck LIVE!

Join food bloggers, food writers, food entrepreneurs, chefs, bakers, restauranteurs, other food biz peeps and pie enthusiasts on October 15th at the Rodeo Bar eating pie!!!

Ken and I are so excited to get to hang out with old friends (and eat pie!) and to meet a whole bunch of friends from Twitter, FB and more in real life (and eat pie) and to meet a bunch of new people (and eat pie!). Come share the PIE LOVE!

• Business cards - very helpful when you are trying to network with your mouth full of pie
• Your appetite (someone suggested stretchy pants…)

Pie Party Potluck LIVE! is free. You have to bring a pie and register to attend HERE. Tickets are limited.

YOU NEED TO KNOW

EVERY attendee must bring a pie, preferably homemade. If you want to bring your partner, your BFF, your dentist, etc., they must bring a pie.

You can’t make a bad homemade pie—anything that you labor to make from scratch will be completely appreciated. However, if you bring a pie that you didn’t make, make sure it’s a good one because the pie police will be in attendance. Life is too short to eat bad pie.

If you need suggestions of where to buy good pie in NYC email me Jackie at jackiegordon.com or reach out on Twitter.

WHATCHA BRINGING? Please comment on this blog post (I will add your link/pie to the Pie Parade)

Tell us what pie you are bringing in the comment section for two reasons:

1. Get our mouths watering. Imagine hearing that someone is making a pie that you will never get to eat. My experience is regret… Now imagine hearing that someone is making a pie that you WILL get to eat. YAY! Make us happy.
2. It’s good for your SEO. Please include a link back to your website or your blog or your recipe or your Twitter or FB page. I will add a running list of what everyone is bringing to this post and tweet it. If you have some pie making info that could be useful to our attendees comment about that too.

NO PIE STRESS

Don’t worry, if you think you’re going to make one pie and you change your mind, just comment again and I’ll change it.

SPONSORS

We are looking for sponsors who would like to supply prizes for the pie lovers at Pie Party Potluck LIVE in exchange for being listed and linked and tweeted about, etc. Interested? Email Jackie at jackiegordon.com
