Happy Pi Day!

Being 3.14, it's Pi Day. And on Pi Day I like to make silly jokes about pi and make actual pies, which are round (not squared, see what I did there?). Last year I made a chicken pot pie from scratch which was a lot of work and not as good as I was hoping. This year I made apple pie featuring Granny Smith apples against the recommendations of the Joy of Cooking, and I made a variation on one of my favorite ice cream pies. My favorite ice cream pie is a chocolate graham cracker crust, then soften chocolate ice cream add peanut butter, mix and refreeze it.

My older daughter is not a big fan of dark chocolate so I opted to make her a vanilla ice cream pie, making a honey graham cracker crust with vanilla ice cream, white chocolate and coconut. And for dinner instead of chicken pot pie we opted for pizza. You know how to approximate the volume of a pizza of radius z and height a? Pi*z*z*a.
