Episode 24
UW Tacoma's pie day started back in 1997 as a way for faculty to thank staff. Each year since then faculty make pies and bring them to campus for staff to enjoy. Over time this event has turned into a friendly competition whereby people vote on their favorite pies. UW Tacoma Associate Professor Jim Gawel has been participating in pie day for more than 20 years but has one only once, hence his nickname-the "Susan Lucci of Pies" During this episode we go to Gawel's kitchen as he prepares a pumpkin mousse pie for this year's event. This is a field recording so you'll hear sounds from the kitchen.
