Thanks, Bruce!

It looks like cherry pi to me. (I don't like pumpkin)
#7: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Nov 25, 2011
Good one
#8: Bruce Yanoshek (yanogator) on Nov 28, 2011
Yes, Brian, it could well be cherry pie.

Oh I thought it was for March 14th...pi day! What with COVID19 going around the world and through the U.S., no one even mentioned Pi Day yesterday. Stay well all!

Oh my gosh, you are right, Carol. (Or is it Karyl Ann?)

I'm still trying to find toilet paper and dog food. Weird times.

actually, 7eleven still sold their pizzas for $3.14 yesterday.
#12: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Mar 16, 2020
It's Carol, Teresa. My Mom wanted to spell my name Karyl Ann and decided against it. Though she wanted everyone to call me Carol Ann but not only do they not do that, my family doesn't even call me Carol! I'm Ca, Aunt Ca etc!

Glad to hear about 7eleven Koreen! We need a little normalcy during this crazy time!
#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 16, 2020
Ok, Carol!

Pumpkin pie, pizza pie, any kind of pie - I'm all in. As long as it's not pi pie. (✬‿✬)

Oh dear. I made a pi pie for pi day:

I'm sure pi pie is fine as long as it tastes like pie, not pi (that would be irrational).


Matt Parker calculates pi using a different method every year. This year he did it by hand to commemorate Isaac Newton doing it while stuck at home in 1665 when Cambridge University closed due to a pandemic (the plague).

Wow Valerie! That is some pi pie. That takes dedication..that is for sure. What kind of pie was it?

Joe, I started watching that video and decided it is way over my head. Math was never my strong suit!
#17: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 18, 2020
I changed my mind. Pi pie looks delish! (✬‿✬)

Carol - The pi pie recipe is kind of my own unique combination. If you're curious, the recipe is here:

Valerie - Thanks for the recipe. Sounds yummy!

Huge pie fan! Huge pi fan! Huge Matt Parker fan! This thread is perfect for me!!
#21: Valerie Mates (valerie) on May 28, 2020
I bought frosting tips with much smaller openings, so next year on Pi Day I am ready to challenge my digit-record. :)
