Please make pie.

This happened spontaneously on Twitter and Facebook -- talking about pie. A clutch of us talked about how much we like pie, making it, and how sad it makes us that people are too afraid of pie crust to make pie.

So we're making pie. And we want you to join in.

Make a pie -- any pie you like -- before July 5th. Gluten-free crust, cornmeal crust, lard, butter, or whatever you like. Use a pre-made crust, if that makes it easier. Let it be imperfect. Just make a pie.

On July 5th, post up a photo of your pie. If you have a blog, and you want to share the recipe, do a blog post. If you have a Facebook account, post the photos to your account and here. If you are on Twitter, post a photo.

July 5th is pie day.
