A slice of Pi π Day!

today, we are hoping that we get PIe!


Pizza Pie and Cherrie Pie! 

Did you know that Pi Day was not an event until 1988?

You can check it out at the Exploratorium Website on their Slice of Pi Day page.

But in short - Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14 in American date format) because the date represents the first three digits of the mathematical constant
(3.14). Founded in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, the day commemorates the constant, which represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. 

On to FOOD!

Technically, traditional pizza is not a dog-friendly food. Not only does it often contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs, like garlic and onions, but pizza generally has a lot of fat and sodium in it, which isn't good for any one.

Mom went looking and found a terrific recipie for a Dog Pizza 

And she is going to try to find the time to make it! This pizza for dogs is made with a small amount of whole wheat dough, pumpkin puree, a little bit of cheese, and chicken. 

I, Marvelous firmly believe that if it is OK for dogs, it will be OK for Cats too! 

 Doenstairs, in the deep freeze, Mom has squirreled away some of the glorious cherries from last summer! 

Nutmeg likes cherries! She even likes them frozen. 

She will be baking one of her famous unsweetened (only fruit and spices) pies! This means that Nutmeg can have a little bit! (Me too--maybe...but I'm not into fruit...)

  2. The cherry pie looks lovely. We don't celebrate Pi Day here, but it is also Albert Einstein's birthday today.

  5. Happy Pi Day! Even if you don't like the fruity part you can at least have a bit of the crust. Just like the crust of pizza that my parents always give me a little of.

  10. What fun Pi Day can be, although my sons are not fans (they work in pizza restaurants which sell pizzas for $3.14 on Pi Day).
