Pi Day how are you celebrating?

6 years ago

A big THANK YOU to my former CF now FB friend Whiteorchid for reminding me that today is Pi Day (3.14). Luckily I already had the makings of an apple tart tatin in the fridge and on my "to do" list. I know it is not technically a "pie" but it's round, and that's what pi is all about anyway.

Not sure that there’s any pi in my day today unfortunately. But I just tested my daughter on 100 digits of pi and she only got one wrong!

Thank you for the reminder. I think an Apple Pi is in my immediate future.

You know the old joke: My password is the last eight digits of pi.

i 8 Σ π = 😋

I'm not making a pie! But I've been thinking about a tart to make next month....

When Pi day is a school day, you should see the pies that stack up in the school office, waiting to be picked up for math classes! Despite being a decidedly mathy kid, DS16 slept in past 9:26. We did have quiche for brunch (also a Frenchy kid). And for dinner, since he has involvement with Sweeney Todd, we having Shepherd's Pie (not "peppered with actual shepherd"). Or perhaps chicken pot pie, with chicken, not cowards. Also watching the movie (with Angela Lansbury and, believe it or not, Neil Patrick Harris!) And French Silk pie for dessert. And a long long walk tomorrow to work it all off.

Nope, I completely missed it. Elery and I are building an island in the kitchen and my prep space is pretty much taken up with drills, hammers, tapcons, silicone adhesive. Maybe I could do a belated Pi(e) Day? I just really want to get this done before Easter, so no pie. Annie

And a happy Pi day right back to you. This is actually round Pi Day, since it's Pi rounded to 3.1416 (3-14-16). So any round pie is most appropriate!

Sephia - LOVE that pi! So simple in concept but beautifully executed. Jane - See the pie immediately above your post. Pi - π - 3.14… March 14 Thanks to the song my daughter can recite pi out 100 digits. Although I haven’t heard her do it in a while so she may need to brush up. I really want to make a jalapeno apple pie but I’m the only one who would eat it yet I can’t eat it - no sweets for Lent. So I may have to use my creativity on a savory pie of some sort.

I did not get the tart made today, sigh. Busy trying to keep my 88 year old father fed and not going stir crazy. I made a pumpkin cranberry muffin batch and had brunch for him with scrambled eggs and sausage, and then later brought pot roast over to his house so that was about all I could muster. I have been feeling crappy for weeks and very tired but I have sinus issues, it's been a problem for quite a while now. My ears ring at a low grade almost constantly, for example, and I'm often battling a headache. I definitely have a lot of time for R&R now. But I'm worried about Dad and he is quite anxious as well so just trying to hold it together. My daily work output seems to be quite low these days . . . my tiredness is not from lack of sleep though, that's for sure.

Darn! Did not realize it was Pi day until I saw this. I was shopping, doing laundry and helping my 89 year old mom.

So sorry for your struggles, I pinkmountain, and wishing you better health soon

We had considered a shepherd's pi for supper, but ended up having leftover beef BBQ sandwiches and some of yesterday's cabbage roll casserole.

Tuesday was the election and the first one I had worked. I was at the hall to set up equipment at 5:30 am and didn't leave until nearly 10 pm and still had to drive to the County seat to deliver ballot summaries and information. By the time I got home it was after 11 pm and I'm still tired! Too tired for pi.....

Well.... I made my Apple Pi. Not the best apples for a pie, but tasty non-the-less.

Oh! Dave, that must be it! I thought I was computering but ended up in a deep long sleep this afternoon. I don't know precisely the times, but it was likely pi!
