3.14

Happy Pi Day, everyone!! Let's celebrate this amazing number!

"... how did Pi Day end up a country-wide phenomenon? For that, we need to travel to the Exploratorium in 1988 San Francisco, where it was thought up by physicist Larry Shaw.
Shaw linked March 14 with the first digits of pi (3.14) in order to organize a special day to bond the Exploratorium staff together, where he offered fruit pies and tea to everyone starting at 1:59 pm, the following three digits of the value. A few years later, after Larry’s daughter, Sara, remarked that the special date was also the birthday of Albert Einstein, they started celebrating the life of the world-famous scientist.
Pi Day became an annual Exploratorium tradition that still goes on today, and it didn’t take long for the idea to grow exponentially, hitting a peak on March 12, 2009, when the U.S Congress declared it a national holiday."  *


A national holiday!! Draw a circle around that!

Anyway, I made a pie. This was the first time I used frozen fruit and I was very nervous about it, but it came out great! Plus I got to use up some of our fruit from the freezer: win win!! Since you asked: peaches, plums and apricots; I didn't have enough of any one kind, but now it tastes like the whole of summer....
