Homemade pie. Really, who doesn't love it?! Celebrate Pi Day (that's 3/14!) with these unique, mouthwatering pies from Lehman's staff. We did a quick office poll, and these two family favorites stood out from the rest.
Grandma RaymondMattie’s Cottage Pie From Michael, Lehman's Web Developer:
Michael has an Amish background, so he shared the origin of the interesting one word Amish nickname in the pie's title. The Amish have large families and a somewhat limited pool of first names, so they put a husband and wife's name together to differentiate people. Michael says, "We actually used that quite a bit in my dad’s family. We have 3 Amanda Millers, my sister, my dad’s sister and also one of my dad’s sister-in-laws. So growing up, it used to be DaveManda, Mark’s Mom (or Sister ‘manda), and Little ‘Manda, although we don’t use those names as much anymore."
According to Michael, the following recipe was always the highlight of Thanksgiving dinner (along with pumpkin pie, of course).

Sour Cream Raisin Pie with Meringue Topping From Andi, Lehman's Data Analyst:
This pie probably hails from Iowa, where Andi's mom first tasted it at a sorority function before she started school at Iowa State University. Andi says, "My mom makes her Iowa Pie Crust and Dad makes the filling. In our family, it’s called David and Pepa’s Sour Cream Raisin Pie because when my son David (who just turned 17!) was a toddler, he helped my dad, who he calls Pepa, make the pie."
