Today is March 14th (3/14), which many people celebrate as Pi (π) Day.
However, in St. Louis 314 also happens to be the original area code for the metropolitan area. Back in 2006 an official 314 Day was created. Each year it has gotten more popular. Starting last weekend, there have been happenings, promotions, and deals to celebrate the day.
Tonight Hubby Tony and I had our own celebratory dinner. We got carry out from Imo's Pizza--St. Louis style pizza (a cracker-like crust, topped with Provel cheese, and cut into squares), toasted ravioli, and a salad with St. Louis style sweet Italian dressing.
There are other dishes that would pay homage to the area, but we decided to save those for next year's celebration.
Happy Pi Day, on to St Patrick's Day next.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's a week of eating high on the hog.
DeleteAh, the deluxe pizza. The only kind I get. They could have put the olives in the shape of π.
ReplyDeleteActually it's a veggie pizza. (Although the deluxe is a very good choice, too).
DeleteI wonder how much they'd have to pay someone to cut hundreds of olive slices?
Now I want Imo's pizza for lunch. see what you did? LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope you got it :-)
DeleteI didn't even realize it until hubby told me!
ReplyDeleteIt kind of snuck up on me this year too.
DeleteAnd a happy pi yesterday to you.
ReplyDeleteThat pizza sounds so good, I love a thin crunchy crust.
ReplyDeleteI've never met a pizza I didn't like, but thin crust is one of my favorites :-)
