Celebrate National Pie Day Jan. 23 Jan. 23 is National Pie Day, as ordained by none other than the American Pie Council. In celebration, we're bringing in National Pie Champion and Food Network Challenge medal winner John Michael Lerma for a lesson in baking ribbon-worthy pie. John Michael has literally written the book on pie baking in his new cookbook, "Garden County Pie—Sweet and Savory Delights from the Table of John Michael Lerma." Come join the celebration and learn to make the perfect pie crust and learn the secrets of John Michael’s most famous pies, such as his Vidalia Onion Pie, Coconut Cream Dream Pie, and his newest creation, Captain Tony’s Watermelon Pie. Join us in the Culinary Corner at the Wellness Center Saturday, Jan. 31, at 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. -- Karina Wittmann, Coordinator of Nutrition Services, Wellness Center, karinawittmann@mail.und.edu, 701-777-2719
