Celebrate Pi Day (with vegan pie, of course) I have never been much of a numbers person. I spent most of any math class I’ve ever had to take daydreaming about art projects or my next hairstyle or The Smiths. That being said, Pi Day is upon us (March 14, 2015 or 3/14/15, a.k.a. 3.1415) and while I can’t quite get with irrational, transcendent numbers or ratios of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, I can very much get with pie, which involves circles, right? Whether we’re talking beloved traditional pies or fantastically original ones, creamy or fruity (or both), wholesome or decadent, Pi Day is a perfect time to celebrate with a scrumptious vegan pie or two. I also included some tarts because I’m a rebel like that (but no galettes because I haven’t completely thrown all caution to the wind) and there are some pies that seemed want to exist in multiple categories so I did my best at guessing which seemed to be the outstanding characteristic. Pi Day is around the corner: How will you celebrate?
