It’s National Blueberry Pie Day which means you have no other choice than to comply by whipping one up or eating one. Otherwise, the Fruit and Tart Pie Police (FTPP) might show up and put you in time out. If you don’t have a blueberry pie “dealer,” get the ingredients from the store, and chop chop, get to work. It’s a little too early for Arkansas blueberries, but we look forward to the day we can find them.
