Pi Day 2023 Is Coming

Tuesday will be  Pi Day, March 14.  In the midst of so much bad news (weather disasters in parts of the world, the continuing Turkey/Syria earthquake tragedy, the Silicon Valley Bank failure, the war in Ukraine, train derailments, just as some examples) we have something fun coming up on Tuesday.

March 14 is a day to celebrate mathematics. In the American method of day numbering, today is 3-14:  March 14.  This is also the first three digits of the mathematical value "Pi".  3.14

It also would have been Albert Einstein's birthday. (March 14, 1879).  144 years ago today.

Pi Day honors the number representing the radio of the circumference of a circle to its radius.  Pi is an infinite number: it goes on indefinitely, but, not only that, it is a non repeating decimal.  As of 2021, its value had been calculated to 62.8 trillion digits.

Now, it has become commercial, with pie places advertising Pi day specials. 

I'm not sure what we will do this year, but it will be homemade.  It will probably be some kind of quiche, possibly made with frozen spinach and fat free feta, something I haven't eaten in a long time.

Here are some pie recipes from my blog.

Spinach Pie 

Blueberry Pie

Pizza Rustica

"Grass" Pie (from my spouse's childhood) 

A Mock Pumpkin Pie I call Memory Pie

Why not have some fun with math?

Will you celebrate Pi Day? 

P.S. If you are looking for my 2023 Blogging from A to Z Decision and Reveal If I'm Participating, that will post on Tuesday.

  1. I love pies. I have some frozen key lime pie in the freezer. Sounds like defrosting is in order.

  4. Hey! Those pie recipes could be used for letters S, B, P, G, and M! Today is also National Napping Day, because it's the day with the most sleep deprived citizens. Really, they studied it.

  5. We do indeed celebrate Pi Day in this house. I made a broccoli and gouda quiche for lunch, and a blueberry pie for dessert. Some years I've made homemade chicken pot pie for dinner, too, with oregano and thyme in the crust. Grass pie is intriguing, I'll give that a click!
