3.14 – Pi(e) Day Survival Guide
You don’t have to love math to get excited about Pi(e)
When you hear the word Pi, you might think about “the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter”, but all we can think about is the kind that you eat! Lucky for all of us March 14 (3.14) is Pi Day. A day all about sweet and savoury pies! Here are some of our local favourites for you to try today.
