March 14, 2015: 73/365 (2630/2992)- So for months I have been hearing about this special "Pi day" this year due to the date and time. I got my plate ready and waited for 3/14/15 9:26, or 3.1415926 in digital, for you math geeks that's Pi to carried out to 8 digits, and technically if it was 53 seconds after 9:26 then it would be 10 digits, only happens once every 100 years. Somehow I thought if you were a true believer in the power of math then a slice of pie would appear on the plate. Guess I'm just not a strong enough believer, hope to try again next century!

It's 3rd month of 14th, it's pi day!
Here is something interesting to know and easy to understand from math.
The answers of last 2 multiplications are framed out, but I think you can easily guess the answers.
今日は3月14日でπの日なので、サクっとわかって、知って面白い数学の話をひとつ。
下の最後の２つの掛け算の答えが隠れていますが、規則性を見つければ簡単に答えがわかってしまいます。

Let's celebrate π day on March 14th, put on a math show and eat pies ! This is the mascot for our π day event in Marseille (see www.piday.fr).
In celebration of Pi Day, March 14th or 3/14, I attempted baking an Apple Pie based on this recipe! Here's to hoping it turns out okay! Also, it called for whiskey? Okay!
Valentine’s Day in Japan
In the West it’s common practice for men and women to exchange gifts on February 14th. But in Japan, women are the ones to make the first move. How cool is that! On Valentine’s Day, women prepare chocolates and confectionary treats to celebrate all the men in their lives. The more time and effort put into their gift reflects the nature of the relationship. Giri-Choco, also known as “obligation chocolate,” is reserved for friends, bosses, colleagues, and males who the women share a platonic relationship with. Giri-Choco is generally cheaper and less elaborate than honmei-choco. Honmei-Choco, or “favorite chocolate” is given to a romantic interest–– a spouse, a lover, or a boyfriend–– and is a deeper expression of appreciation. While store bought chocolate is acceptable, honmei-choco is often handmade or specially crafted as the time and effort put into preparation indicates how much that person means to the woman. During this time, stores in Japan are filled with large displays of chocolates, candy kits, and all the ingredients and kitchen tools needed for creating a sweet treat.
White Day
So you might be thinking that Japan’s take on Valentine’s Day is pretty awesome, but what about the women? They deserve something too. Well, fear not! On March 14th, Japan celebrates White Day, where men return the favor and gift the women in their lives with chocolate and presents, often white in color. White Day originally started as Marshmallow Day, where men would give white marshmallows and candy to the women who gifted them chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Over time, the tradition has grown to include non-white treats along with material gifts like jewelry or flowers. On this day, men are known to spend twice or even three times more on their return gifts.
It's March 14(3/14) and is pi day today! I like mathematics so much and the watch on the photo is my favorite. I've been using this for 3 years!
By the way, NUMB3RS from the US is my favorite television series. It's so interesting on the mathematical point of view.
本日3月14日は円周率の日です。数学大好きな私は写真の腕時計が大のお気に入りでもう3年間愛用しています。
ちなみに、アメリカのテレビドラマNUMB3RSが大好きです。天才数学者が難事件を解決していくという、ユニークで面白いドラマです。興味がある方はぜひ！

A generous topping made with peanut butter, cream cheese, and whipped cream was the crowning glory of this Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie.
Happy Pi Day!

We were going to go out for pie at Coco's, but we wanted to stay in so we picked up a couple little pies at Safeway. I am looking forward to eating them very soon! :)
Ginger was having a wonderful time on the swing but really wanted a friend to join her - anyone want to join?
This is the kind of weaving I do! #canshebakeacherrypie #piday #piday2016 #31416 #latticetoppie #cherrypie #before
I have so many varieties of Nasturtiums and this is by far the prettiest color combo!!! Ginger went straight to them!
Math teachers make a big deal out of "Pi Day" since today is 3/14 (pi equals 3.14 when rounded off). I know that because I am married to a math teacher, so only seems appropriate to post of photo of our daughter with her birthday Key Lime pie. Her birthday is not until Thursday; we were just getting a head start!
In celebration of Pi Day, my favorite holiday!!
