Pi Day

 


I don't really like math, but I do love pie!

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and after measuring objects for thousands of years it has been determined that a circle is a little more than 3 times its width around, or 3.14159



Mmm, raspberry pi?

It is a single-board computer designed to teach programming skills, build hardware projects, do home automation, and explore industrial applications of computer technology.  The Raspberry Pi Foundation wanted to bridge the gap for students who lack access to advanced technology. They promote the study of basic computer science, and sales from the device fund charitable work that promotes the use of technology in education and developing countries.

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
