I am part of the Pie Extremist Group. We meet... and eat pie. The Pie Extremist Group has only one statement: pie=love. With all the craziness in our world, it's great to have fun, happy events now and then where people can gather and simply enjoy each other and good pie.

St. Valentine (actually, there were two Valentine’s, martyred around the same time) was a priest and a physician in Rome , who was martyred around the year of 269, during the reign of Claudius Gothicus. According to legend, when Valentine was in prison, he sent notes of love and encouragement, and possibly pies, to the people of his community, who lived in fear of persecution. He was beaten with clubs and stoned, and, when that didn't finish him off, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Later, in the Middle Ages, people believed that birds began choosing their mates on this day, for the springtime. So Valentine’s Day came to be thought of as the perfect day for sending tokens of love and for choosing a special sweetie pie.
