Pi Day | Pad Patter 3.14.24

[scrapsandsass]

My daughter used to be a baker. One year, she worked for a restaurant called Pie Lab. That was the best. She could bring me pie from work. I'm picky though, so I only liked blackberry. But it was delicious, and I miss it.

The year she worked there, she made small pies for Kennedy's class on Pi Day, and the kids were sooooo excited.

And, I hate math. With a passion. I took as little as I could in college. I have a weird ability where I can see an answer (in my head), but I don't know how I got the answer. One teacher told me that was an important ability for super upper level conceptual math... like I should pursue it. I just laughed.

Have you heard of pi day before?
Oh yeah!! I am a total math geek
Do you celebrate pi day? If so, how?
I took 2 pies to work for my co-workers and students. We had apple pie with vanilla ice cream and pecan pie.
Are you a math lover or hater?
LOVE. Math is my favorite
What's your favorite pie? Pizza pie? Pot pie? Fruit pie? Other?
Not much of a pizza eater, but I do love pot pie and pretty much all other pie! The only pie I really don't much care for is pumpkin. Key Lime is probably my favorite.

I love that you took 2 pies to work to share! Your co-workers and students are so lucky!

That's fun your daughter made small pies for Kennedy's class! My daughter's teacher brought mini pies so then she wanted me to buy some too.

Your hate for math is the response I expected to get from more people. Your math ability sounds very unique; I love that you just laughed at the teacher who told you pursue it haha

Have you heard of pi day before? Yup. We have math geeks in the family!
Do you celebrate pi day? If so, how? Sorta. It's my mom's birthday so we celebrate no matter what. Sometimes we get creative when we celebrate with different types of "pi" foods.
Are you a math lover or hater? I'm neither. I don't hate math but I'm not that great at every kind of math so I don't love it either. But I'm surrounded by quite a few that love love love it.
What's your favorite pie? Pizza pie? Pot pie? Fruit pie? Other? I like it all! Favorite Pie: I think my favorites are the creamy mousse-type pies (especially homemade banana cream pie) and sometimes key lime. Favorite Pizza Pie: New York style (I have a ton of pizza topping favorites), Favorite Pot Pie: A good homemade one with good REAL butter crust. I don't really like a lot of the store bought ones. Favorite Fruit Pie: Hmm, I mentioned banana cream as my favorite creamy pie but a regular fruit pie would have to be either peach or strawberry/strawberry rhubarb. Favorite Other Pie: Quiche, for sure! Yummy!!

I was focused on LOD and missed seeing this thread until today.

Have you heard of pi day before?
Absolutely, we celebrate it every year. My degree is in Math so definitely a holiday to celebrate & who doesn't like pie in most forms anyway!
Do you celebrate pi day? If so, how?
We usually have pizza pie for dinner & then pie in some form for dessert.
Are you a math lover or hater?
Math lover, of course, with my degree. I think everyone needs basic math so you can handle your finances, etc.
What's your favorite pie? Pizza pie? Pot pie? Fruit pie? Other?
We usually go with a veggie pizza, either with green pepper & mushrooms & extra cheese or a margherita pizza (fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic & mozzarella cheese. We had a margherita pizza on Thursday for Pi Day.
This year we decided to go with pie crust (folded together with cinnamon, sugar & butter) for dessert. Our favorite pies include black raspberry cobbler, pecan pie, french silk or butterscotch cream pie.

I love margherita pizza! I just introduced my kids to it and they like it too.

Your pie crust dessert sounds delicious!
