Day 23

Happy Pi Day. One week to go. 

 

Pi's on Pie Day
Pi Day

Black cherry and rhubarb pi’s were hanging out at work today. Normally Pi Day is a day worth going great lengths to ensure there is pi to stuff in my pi hole. In 2012 I was in Brazil and, against all odds, found delicious pi. Had I purchased these particular specimens myself I probably would have delivered the exact same flavors. But alas, no fruit pi for me today. 

Actually, it was easier to not participate at all today than had I been able to have some. That is what worries me about the long term. Normal me has a modest piece of each in the morning when they show up, but then can’t resist a matinee later in the day and perhaps a bit for the drive home. There wasn’t a whole lot of those pi’s left at the end of the day anyway, but there might not have been any a month ago. I can think of some tactics, but I don’t have long-term confidence in my ability to avoid a trap like this in the future. 
 

Shepherd's Pi

This special day was not totally lost however. We had shepherd’s pi for dinner. It was excellent! The mash on top was a white/orange sweet potato mix and was amazing. The filling was good too. 
For the record: daylight savings is stupid, miserable, and bad for your health. 

  • Breakfast: egg cups- not scrambled and made with green chili. Thumbs up. 
  • Lunch: leftover grilled chicken & veg
  • Dinner: shepherd’s pi
