It was a lovely warm day here, and the inside temperature was nearing 80, so I couldn't face the idea of baking something.
I just ground up some spare cookies and pressed them into a pie plate for the crust, and then made a double batch of pistachio pudding for the filling.
Yes, I used the box mix on the pudding. I wouldn't do that for chocolate or vanilla pudding, but I have no idea how to make real pistachio pudding from scratch! It was my favorite childhood dessert, and something of a guilty pleasure.
Plus it's green, in honor of St. Patrick, one of my favorite saints!
I didn't manage any math related activities - which is crazy considering that Zorg learned how to calculate the volume of a cylinder, and Mxyl, the volume of a sphere yesterday!
Blue Streak was in the shop an extra day and I had to cancel all of today's planned activities. While I was mulling over what to do, I realized that the sensible thing was to let everyone sleep in and have a relaxed day to recover from last week's business, and the time change.
That's what we did! We had a relaxed day. We did a few housekeeping things (sheet changes, clothing changes), a little home school (packets) and a long lazy walk to the lake with a picnic lunch. Grammy came over for tea, then took me to pick up the van.
And we made and ate pi!
We're all feeling muuuch better, now!
