Today (3/14) is Pi Day (3.14). Festivities include calculating the area of circles and eating pie. So it's basically the 3rd best holiday out there, after Christmas and Talk Like a Pirate Day.
To celebrate this wonderfully geeky holiday, I made a peanut butter pie last night and brought it into work today. It was generally well-received, although it's quite high in calories. Probably almost dangerously so. But so are most things that taste good, right?
For the decoration, I stuck some strips of duct tape onto a piece of cardboard and cut out the shape of a pi symbol. Be sure to draw it backwards, which is actually more difficult than it should be. Carefully lift it off the cardboard and place it (sticky side up) over the finished pie. Then just sprinkle crushed-up Oreo cookies over it and lift the tape stencil off. Easy as 3.14159!
