Today is National Pi Day, not PIE as in fruit pie but the number. Pi Day is a celebration of the mathematical constant, π (pi), or 3.14159265359! This fun article from Thrillist goes into great detail on the difference between this day and January 23rd National Pie Day.
Since it is not a traditional dessert pie day, why not consider a non-traditional pie to celebrate. Many pies may not fit the predictable “pastry & filling” model but all are Fun Foods! I had two types of Pizza Pie today and I added pickles as toppings to both.
One may also consider Shepard’s Pie (lamb + mashed potato!) or Cottage Pie (beef + mashed potato!) or Pasta Pie. I found this fun sounding/looking recipe by Gail Simmon on Once Upon a Chef for Pasta Pie – pasta, cheese, sauce and more cheese, ALL Fun Foods.
