Happy π day!

Today is March 14th, aka pi day, a day celebrating one of the most important numbers in mathematics - π.

Since I happened to be in Germany today, I celebrated π day with my brother and his wife by making 2π — a yummy beef pie for dinner and a chocolate pie for dessert.

For dessert we decided to make the pie even more meaningful and decorate the pie with the first few digits of π, resulting in a delicious, and informative pie:

Chocolate pi with digits!

In other news, I’ll be arriving in Israel on Tuesday. If you want to meet me, let me know…
