Welcome to Portlandia Pie Lady’s Blog!
Hello from the Great Northwest! I’m Linda, and in my neck of the woods, I am also known as “The Pie lady.” My old stomping ground is Seattle, Washington, though I have lived in the Portland, Oregon area for over 20 years (growing up I never had a desire to settle in Oregon, ever, but it grows on you).
I was not always a pie diva, when I was first married I really only knew how to make really good spaghetti and a pretty good pumpkin pie; but that was it. So, if I can make great pies, so can you! I have had more than my fair share of “duds” in the baking world, but out of those came fantabulous pies with a lot of hilarious stories along the way; if I was able to clone myself I’d pop up in your kitchen & help you every step of the way.
Our family (& with the help of some dedicated friends) puts on a “Pie Night” every year on Thanksgiving Eve and this year, 2018, will mark the 20th Annual Pie Night! Regular attendees have asked if we are doing something special this year; IDK, maybe a sacrificial pie lit on fire (that would be super fun actually)!
I can feel the pie magic already happening in your kitchens already. Thank for visiting my little corner of the world.
Linda, The Pie Lady
