Pi Day, 3.14 or March 14th is a day to celebrate both the math in our lives and the great food in our lives. I can't think of another day that is really just about math and food. What an interesting mix. I think that all good baking requires a bit of math, making a pie on Pi Day seems to be a great way to celebrate.
I have procrastinated and I haven't picked my pie yet. I could always go to the store and BUY a pie, but that just doesn't feel right to me. There are so many types of pies, too. And of course, everyone in my family likes a different kind of pie. There are fruit pies and pecan pies and fluffy creamy pies. I'm leaning, this will be no surprise, to a pie that has some chocolate involved.
My husband, David, suggested I make a savory pie, like a quiche. That could be good, but I would probably be the only one in my family to eat it. It is too time consuming to make a pie that only I will eat.
Maybe I'll just have to make up a new pie. This one will be vegan, so that my Ella daughter can eat it, have fruit, so that my Ada daughter will eat it. Alas, it will have to have some chocolate so that I will want to eat it. I hope it turns out. Regardless, it's a great way to enjoy March 14th!
Yours in chocolate,
