Tomorrow is Pi Day so celebrate with a Pie

Tomorrow is Pi day.  That is Pi without the "e".  Since not everyone is a mathematician and that goes double for me I thought I would include the definition of Pi found on math.com.

Pi is a name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. That means, for any circle, you can divide the circumference (the distance around the circle) by the diameter and always get exactly the same number. It doesn't matter how big or small the circle is, Pi remains the same. Pi is pronounced "pie", just like the dessert. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to eat a slice of pie and I mean the pie with the "e".  Pi day in 2015 is a very special Pi day because of the day it falls on in the calendar, 3/14/15.  Usually pi day is just 3/14 representing the first three digits. This year it so happens that the date represents 5 digits, 3.1415 which is the first time this will occur this century.  Very exciting news in the Math world. 
I was reading the Washington Post and they have compiled 14 pie recipes that you may want to use so that you too can celebrate Pi Day at home.  Follow this link Yum Pie recipes for Pi Day
