What a great idea Hally. The teacher will have to explain to the children all about pi then. :D

I didn't even know pi day existed. I veiwed the site you put up Andie and seems it started in America.
Great excuse to eat pie though. Will take some mini apple pies to work for morning tea.

You are such a wonderful, involved mum.

I'm reworking a recipe of an old family favorite to cut it down to size.  An Apple/Raisin/Bourbon pie with Sour cream topping.

I'm also going to make this savory pie
a friend sent me the link and assures me that this is one savory pie that is excellent served cold - she says her husband thinks it is better the second day after the flavors have had a chance to blend.

International Pi day was a huge hit at school. The teacher was very impressed that we as a family had spent so much fime & effort on ds news. The kids loved the pies. One little very very smart boy knew about pi, so he was happy that he knew about pi. The teacher told me it was more like yr 8 maths.

She would have to be impressed Hally, bet that got talked about in the lunch room with the other teachers.  Bet CP was rather chuffed with it's success.
