My nerdy senses were tingling the moment I woke up that morning. The ULTIMATE PI DAY!!! And why was this year's Pi Day the ultimate Pi Day you may ask? Well, we all know that every year on March 14 we celebrate Pi Day because 3, 1, and 4 are the three most significant figures of
π and most of us tend to celebrate this mathematical day with pie. Yup, apple pie, cherry pie, blueberry pie, basically some yummy pie you can get your hands on. What makes this year the 'ultimate' Pi Day is because this year we'll be able to match the first 10 digits of Pi. The ultimate Pi Day is marked at 3.14.15 @ 9:26:53 on Saturday this year. (
π = 3.141592653)
And what made it even more awesome was that this only happens once every 100 years AND it's also Albert Einstein's birthday!!!
And on this special day I had to do something out of the ordinary. I mean this will be the only ultimate Pi Day I'll get to experience in my lifetime, so for this Pi Day I made homemade personal sized pizza pie and homemade cherry pie for dessert. Check it out!
There were many firsts on this special day. It was my first time making pizza from scratch. It was also my first time baking cherry pies, in a cast iron skillet nonetheless, and experimenting with the two different ways of making a lattice design on top. What did you do on the Ultimate Pi Day?
