Happy π Day

As a math teacher, I am obligated to make a big stink about Pi Day (3/14).  I made two pies from scratch last night after work while eating a PB&J sammy for dinner. Today, I incorporated them into the day’s activities.  (For more, see my work blog here.)  Now, I’m not the best pie maker.  The pie was a bit dry, but the kids really loved the sweetened coconut cream I had in my work fridge right under the freezer.  They swore it was ice cream.  Maybe I will start making more pies, but I don’t really ever crave pie… and my cravings are the main motivation of my baking.  Anyway, Happy π Day!

Keeping pies warm on my classroom’s heater.

And because:
– It’s the best video on YouTube last I check (maybe in 2008?)
– “If you wish to make an apple pie from scrath, you must first invent the universe.”
