Yo. Somebody better tell me real quick that you can clearly see the Pi symbol here or else I’m gonna walk and make no mistake, I’m taking my pie with me. My sister kept saying that you can’t see it so somebody better verify my craftsmanship with broken shards of caramel.
In any case, there is half a carrot cake with feta frosting, a quarter of a sister’s birthday chocolate mousse cake, a few boxes of Choco Pie, a tray of 36 Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls, and a few tins of Quality Street chocolates from birthday gifts so we clearly don’t need any more sweets or desserts in this house. And that’s just swell, except for the fact that today is Pi day! And if the calendar says you have to make and/or eat pie, you shall make and/or eat pie. It’s all for the commemoration of Mathematics, guises. Long live pies!
ICE CREAM PIE (serves 10-12, downsize accordingly):
[1 18oz package of oreos + ½ cup or 1 stick of butter, melted + 1 cup sugar + 2 tablespoons flour + ½ cup cocoa powder + 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon butter + 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract + your favorite ice cream ]OPTIONAL: ¼ teaspoon instant coffee granules.
Using a food processor, crush the cookies until it becomes crumbs. Add the melted butter and press into the bottom of a round pie pan (I lined mine with some cling film because I wanted to serve it outside the pan. Totally optional). Freeze for about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can put the cookies in a ziploc bag and crush it to smithereens with a rolling pin, whichever works for you.
While the crust is chilling, make the chocolate fudge. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder and instant coffee granules, if using. Heat the milk, butter and vanilla over medium heat until the butter has melted. Add dry ingredients to the milk mixture while constantly whisking. Bring to a boil, constantly stirring until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Take out the ice cream 10 minutes before the crust is ready to soften and be easier to spread. Take out the crust, add scoops of your favorite flavor ice and smooth over the crust. You can literally put any flavor you like; strawberry cheesecake, mint & chocolate chip, feta ice cream, coffee ice cream (yum!), mango ice cream (double yum with chocolate, I swear!). We only had a tub of boring old vanilla, buried under a bag of frozen strawberries and the grapes I stashed in the freezer for smoothies, so I dug that out and mixed it with some peanut butter and leftover oreo crumbs from the crust.
You can pour the fudge on top of the ice cream layer now or chill the ice cream pie until it sets and then pour the fudge on top, whichever floats your boat.
Leave it to set for at least 4 hours. You can serve it as it is, or decorate it any way you like. I made some almond pralines and scattered it on top for some extra pizzazz. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
sorry for being an idiot and posting the pi two days late
More art from earlier this month!
The rabbit getting pied is Pyanny and she belongs to @pyanny-yan . It was his birthday, but also Pi Day.

We love a unique book format here at the RBML, like this artists’ book by Emily Martin. It features 8 stories and recipes printed on 8 slices of pie. We thought it was a perfect fit for Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day, everyone!
From our GEnx jet engines to the massive ecoROTR, circles and spheres are fundamental to the GE family of machines. And what better day to celebrate the beauty and utility of circles than today.
March 14, 2022 - Stop Everything, Today is Pi Day!!!

Today is the day we usually celebrate Pi Day, but honestly it feels infinitely* silly with so much happening around our pale blue dot. So instead of celebrating an irrational number, we thought we’d share slices* of some small but rational* steps for uplifting one another in difficult times.
As many of you know, we are in the process of setting up our own small (women-owned!) business, and as we work through that process we appreciate even more how much time and energy the artists & vendors we share here have put into their own craft. For many of them, maintaining their livelihoods is especially challenging right now, but luckily, we can help!
Instead of hoarding toilet paper, why not start your winter-holiday gift shopping veryearly!Orstock up on birthday presents, or gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations (with or without in-person ceremonies), Just Because Day! If you’re not sure what someone special (even yourself) might like, purchase a gift card from your favorite artist. Want a custom creation? Message an artist on social media for a commission so they don’t have to pay fees to sites like Etsy. :)
Here are just some** of our favorite small businesses (women, family, and/or minority owned) who could use your support:
Amy Rae Hill (whose commissions like this teapot are out of this world!)
Cepheid Studio (check out her new shinies, like this Hubble pin badge!)
Chrissy Sparks Art (we adore her hand-painted cosmic wooden ornaments)
Cosmic Funnies (whimsicalweb comics, illustrations, stickers and more featuring all your favorite celestial objects)
Lost in Space Jewelry (custom Planetary Position Plaques make lovely gifts!)
Science Socks (watch this space for more designs!)
Sofie Shen (illustrator extraordinaire who can make your space art dreams come true)
Two Photon Art (they have some great freebies to download, too!)
Yugen Tribe (our long-time favorites with stunning new designs, like these Solar System beauties)
We’ll continue to share work by these artists and more via this thread over on Twitter!
Socially-distant hugs from across the Universe,
–Emily & Summer

Happy Pi Day
Well there was no way Xania was getting away without a custard pie in her face!
Happy Pi Day
Happy Pi Day! For once Melissa gets a creamy taste of her own medicine. Melissa meanwhile is letting us know how to take a pie in the face like a star. I got the idea from a great artist on Deviantart. Check him out at
Hello. We started this blog in March last year and now we’re really close to finding out why every single day is BRILLIANT. So we’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read, liked and re-posted our sometimes excessively long ramblings. It’s been a lovely thing to reach so many people across the world from our small corner of rural North Yorkshire. If we make it, and I think we might, tomorrow will be our last post. If you’re not completely fed up with us pestering you every day about things that happened ages ago, you can also find this blog on Wordpress, along with a short explanation of how it came about, and in which we reveal which of us has actually written all of this on the ’about’ page.
Why March 14th is BRILLIANT
Irrational and Unknowable
Today is Pi Day. A day named in honour of the mathematical constant Pi (π). Pi represents a number that is almost, but not quite 3.14. On this day in 1988, a mathematician called Larry Shaw organised the first big Pi day celebration at the Exploratorium, a public learning laboratory in San Francisco. It seems to have involved staff and members of the public marching around in a circle eating fruit pies and what’s not to like about that?. The date was chosen because when you write March 14th in month/day number format it comes out as 3/14, which are the first three digits of Pi. The celebration rather took off and it is now celebrated in lots of places.
You probably remember using Pi in maths at school to work out the perimeter and area of a circle. The outside edge of a circle is the same as its diameter multiplied by Pi. So if you can find out how wide the circle is, you can pretty much find out the size of its circumference by multiplying that number by 3.14. We say pretty much because Pi is a very unusual number. If you knew the diameter and the circumference of the circle and tried to divide one by the other to find out what number Pi actually is, you can’t. Those numbers to the right of the decimal point just keep on going, perhaps for ever, no one is sure. They never settle into a repeating pattern. If, for example, you were to divide a hundred by three, you would get 33.33333… and those threes would go on forever, but that’s a pattern. Pi doesn’t have that. Pi has now been calculated to over thirteen trillion decimal places, and calculations are still going. We still don’t know what it is and can discern no pattern.
Pi is, it seems, an unknowable number. It is also an irrational number, which means it cannot be written as a fraction. The closest we can sensibly get is 22⁄7 . This means that there is, surprisingly, a second day on which Pi is celebrated: July 22nd (day/month format: 22/7) is Pi Approximation Day. But we’re having none of it, we have other plans for that day. We are really trying to avoid writing out a big string of numbers in this post, as we find them difficult to look at and don’t want to inflict them on you. But if we tell you that a more accurate definition of Pi is 3.141592, we can also tell you that March 14th 1592 was ultimate Pi day. Not that anyone was aware of it at the time. Everyone was probably far too busy sailing about discovering stuff, watching Shakespeare or dying of plague. The Pi symbol in it’s mathematical sense has only been around for about 250 years.
Humans have put a lot of effort into working out the relationship of the size of a circle and its diameter. A circle looks like such a simple thing and it seems as if it should be so easy to work out. Four thousand years ago, the Babylonians measured it as three and one eighth. The ancient Egyptians had it at three and one seventh. Egyptologists and people of a mystical persuasion have long been fascinated by the fact that the height of the Great Pyramid at Giza has the same relationship to the perimeter of its base as the diameter of a circle does to it’s circumference. But we have no idea if this was intentional or just a coincidence. Similarly, some think it significant that the first 144 digits of Pi add up to 666, the alleged ‘number of the beast’ in the Book of Revelation.
Archimedes, the ancient Greek mathematician, was so obsessed with trying to work out the value of Pi that he did not notice his city was being invaded by the Romans. His dying words are said to have been: 'Do not disturb my circles’. A sixteenth century mathematician called Ludolph van Ceulen devoted most of his life to calculating Pi to thirty-five decimal places. It was such an achievement that the numbers were engraved on his tombstone. In the nineteenth century, William Shanks calculated the first 707 digits of Pi but, unfortunately, he made a mistake at the 527th place. Luckily he didn’t know about it. The mistake wasn’t spotted until 1944.
Now, of course, we have computers on the case, which is why the calculations now run into trillions. The calculation of Pi is actually used as a stress test for computers. But for all the time and power we have devoted to it, we still don’t know the exact number of Pi. We can use it to measure any circle, but we can never know the exactly how big it is. It is pretty accurate though. If you used only the first nine digits of Pi to measure the circumference of the Earth, it would only be out by one quarter inch over 25,000 miles. If you used the first thirty-nine digits of Pi , you could measure the size of the known universe and the error would be less than the width of a hydrogen atom. So trying to figure out what Pi really is probably isn’t anything to do with accuracy anymore. It’s about our obsession with trying to find patterns in things.
