More Than Just Pi

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.

  2. Ah, the deluxe pizza. The only kind I get. They could have put the olives in the shape of π.

    1. Actually it's a veggie pizza. (Although the deluxe is a very good choice, too).

      I wonder how much they'd have to pay someone to cut hundreds of olive slices?
