Today in Food: Bake a Pi(e), Eat Some Chips
March 14th in this nation is a day to eat pie and potato chips. Pie, because March 14th is National Pi Day, as in π, or 3.14 (3/14, get it?) and since numbers are better for crunching than munching, pie is the logical gastronomical leap to make here.
So in the spirit of mathematics, get baking, and if it makes you feel better, go ahead and calculate the circumference of your quiche.
And chips? Well, it's also National Potato Chip Day. The reason isn't as clear as the thought behind Pi (again, 3/14, so clever) but regardless, do you need a logical reason to indulge in some chips? Make your own, jazz up some store-bought ones or use chips in a recipe in the spirit of Potato Chip Day.
