This summer, my sister was tasked with making pancakes while we were at church camp. One of the other adult helpers challenged her to make a Z-shaped pancake for our smallest camper who was still in preschool. This Z-shaped pancake for "Zachary" led to an S-shaped pancake for "Sarah." Of course, my sister couldn't stop there. She made me a heart-shaped pancake, a pi-shaped pancake, and a right-triangle pancake. So, my breakfast spelled out, "Sarah loves pi."
I don't know if the best part was hearing the 3rd-6th graders talk about how they recognized the pi symbol from their math classes or eating apple pie filling on top of my pi pancake...
