This Pi Day, celebrate with pie! Eat your way through all 3.14 sides of this mathematical holiday with these deliciously round eats.
Pie for Pi Day
It’s almost here– the husband’s favorite “holiday”– Pi Day! Pi Day is a mathematical celebration of all things round, a circular excuse to devour pizza, gobble down tarts, and most of all– eat pie!
If you’re confused, here’s the deal– The mathematical symbol ‘Pi’ stands for the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and it equals (approximately) 3.14.
(Actually, the number’s quite a bit longer than 3.14, but we’ll forget that for now.)
Math nerds everywhere, along with their math-indifferent food-loving friends (like me!), use this fabulous formula to celebrate pi with pie on the calendar’s closest equivalent to 3.14– March 14th! And then we come full circle.
Confused? That’s okay! All you really need to know is that March 14th is a fantastic day to eat pie. This Pi Day, celebrate with all things round– and especially with PIE! Want inspiration? Check out these circular eats!
