Sunday is [Pi Day](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day), I think I’m going to make a blueberry pie. My SO wants to eat it right at March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., but I’ve been thinking it’s better to have pie for lunch and have seconds just before 2 o’clock. What say you, Dopers? ---

Blueberry (one of my favorites) sounds just fine. I think I may get some for myself. Time of day doesn’t matter to me. ---

I’m holding out for Mole Day, which celebrates Avogadro’s Number. It is celebrated officially at either 6:02 am or 6:02 pm on October 23 every year. ---

For the most part, I intend to ignore it, although if I happen to find out about anyone on campus giving out free pies or some such thing, well, damn, who doesn’t love pie? ---

I’ll be making apple pie, but if I have leftover crust, I’m going to throw in some frozen blueberries, a tiny bit of cinnamon and nutmeg, and some lemon. Mmm, blueberry. ---

My bridal shower is on Sunday - when the hostess (my sister-in-law-to-be) asked what sort of dessert I wanted, I told her it had to be pie, since it’s on 3/14. And the best part is, she knew exactly what I was talking about. 🙂 There need to be more pie occasions. ---

I’m going to eat some broccoli and ice cream. I think it’s only fair to be irrational on pi day. ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > There need to be more pie occasions. The wiki page suggested an alternate Pi Day: July 22. So there’s at least one more day for easily-excused pie.
