Pi Day and March Break

Pi day and the first day of March break coincided, making this one extra special! I'll be honest; although I've enjoyed math for a long time, I had not actually heard about pi day until my fourth year of university. for those that do not know what Pi Day is, I will explain. The constant pi (represented by the symbol π) represents the constant value you get by dividing the circumference of any circle by its own diameter. The value, rounded to two decimal places, is 3.14. March 14 is 3/14. Hence, Pi Day (Yay!).

Upon learning about Pi Day, I was excited about an excuse to pig out on pie and other round yummy foods, and share my nerdiness with friends and family. My sister and I celebrated this year. She mocks me for it, but does not hesitate to enjoy the pi. We had breakfast pi, and then s'mores pie later in the day. For my husband, I made apple pie (for the first time ever - and it was pretty good according to him). You probably don't care much about my adventures with pie, but, maybe a few poor quality pictures of my endeavours will charm you so much you'll want to lavish me with pie on March 14 next year? I can always dream.
Breakfast Pie - hashbrowns on the bottom, with scrambled eggs and bacon. Yum!
