Pi Day

Pi Day, it is a beloved holiday in our family. I thought that I would remind you why Pi is so handy. Don't know the Circumference of a circle but you DO know the Diameter? Just multiply pi by that diameter and voila! You have your answer.

Don't know the area of your circle but you do know the radius? Multiply your radius squared by pi and VOILA you have your area!

3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510

It's a magic number!

Why do I bring this up on this lovely day in March you ask? Tomorrow is March 14Th, 3.14! So in celebration of this day we make PIE and get together to celebrate! Why not right? It's a perfect teaching opportunity for little ones too!

Tomorrow I am making a plain cheesecake and I'll have strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries to go on top, a pumpkin pie (for Matt), and the verdict is still up on the third one I am making. Suzanne is going to make a dessert peach pizza.

Also, new to us this year here in Utah is a restaurant named "The Pie Pizzeria" who uses the symbol pi as their logo. So lunch it is, 3.14, 1:59, at the Pie, then later in the evening we will eat our pies. (We really aren't waiting until 1:59 to eat, but I bet we'll be there during that time anyways)

It's a fun excuse to eat some good food and hang out with friends and family. Won't all of you out there in blogger land eat some PIE or at least some PIZZA tomorrow in celebration too? Happy Pi day! :)
