Pi Day


As some of you may know, our family has been celebrating Pi Day (3-14), the day of the first 3 digits of Pi,  for many years now.  A few years ago, we looked up "Super" Pi Day where the next two digits of Pi would be included in the date.  We were delighted to discover that it would be soon, in just a couple of years.  So the plans began many years ago, and finally came to a culmination yesterday.  To celebrate Super Pi Day, we made nine dessert pies, and two meal pies.  We had egg and sausage breakfast pies for breakfast.  We even pulled off the road to celebrate "Super-de-Dooper Pi Second", 9:26:53, which added the next 5 digits of pi.   We ate some apple pie and took a picture to celebrate the moment.  We had apple and blueberry pie for lunch (along with a subway sandwich).  We were supposed to have deep dish pizza pie for dinner, but due to an excessively long volleyball tournament day, we postponed the pizza pie until Sunday and just ate dessert pie for dinner.  We had sour cream apple, strawberry, cheesecake and raspberry cheesecake, mint oreo ice cream, and banana cream pie for dinner.  We finally rolled into bed around 11:00 with full and happy tummies.  We determined that the mint oreo ice cream was easily a favorite, and the raspberry cheesecake a surprise favorite.  Really, they were all excellent pies and we felt that "Super" Pi Day had been celebrated properly.
