Pi Day 2016

Happy Pi Day!

This year for my pi pies, I made the Jammie Dodger Pie with a pi crust (though it is hard to read, the numbers around the edge are 3.141592653589) and the Chocolate Truffle Tart with the chocolate wafer crust and used my new pi cutter to dust the symbol onto the top.



I also ran the Illinois Science Council's Pi Day Pi K Fun Run while wearing my Pi Day shirt from last year and a hat shaped like a slice of pumpkin pie.  I ran it 34 minutes and 36 seconds.  I also submitted this time for the Pi Day 5K Virtual Run, for which I should receive my swag in a couple weeks.


Since the start of this blog, one year ago today, it has been a big year for me and pie.  I won four ribbons at county and state fairs.  I won an apron in a pie contest at school.  I baked pies for local police officers for National Pie Day.  And as the whipped cream on top of it all, I ran a personal best for the Pi K.  I'm looking forward to what the coming year will bring!

Piece out!
