Hot Out of the Oven!

Happy Pi Day! (For those not mathematically inclined, 3.14 is the short form of pi, so March 14 is a perfect day to commemorate the beautiful simplicity of pi.) It’s always fun to try and celebrate Pi Day by eating food comprised of circles – there are many delicious round culinary options like carrot slices, shaped artisan breads or dinner rolls, pie, grapefruit or orange halves, peas, pancakes, brie (or other wheels of) cheese, pizza, blueberries, pi-neapple rings, quiche, of course, more pie.

The pie featured here was my first attempt at a latticework top. My sister-in-law showed me how it was done and, even though it looks terribly difficult, her tricks made it a manageable feat of beautiful pie embellishment. It’s rhubarb custard inside. Yum! So, be sure and stop by stampeaz.com and say, “Pi!” (Or is that Pi-Z Kut???)

How many chances do you think there should be on Pi Day? :)

There should be at least 3 chances on Pi day, yes? :-)

33.14ish chances ;-)

Yep, 3.14159.... (Mama Cache had a really different formula than the rest of us - nice try, MC! LOL!) I rounded up to 4 though, because .14159 of a sheet of Pi-Z Kut would have been hard to measure and cut properly. :)

Thank you for playing and I hope you had fun!!! I always enjoy it when people figure out the puzzles, whether they want to get the prize at the end or not! I'm going to leave it where it is for the rest of the day so anyone else who wants to try the puzzle will know if they've found the Pi(-Z). *grin*

Enjoying a piece of Avocado Pie right now... yum! Would love to learn the secret of making beautiful latticework crusts like yours... are you ever in Southern California?

I can see I need to get on AQ every day, not just every couple of days! Fun idea, Webfoot. Thanks.
