    Intro: Euler's Pi Day DateThis is a date particularly for all the engineers (but also other geeks) who wish to incorporate the mathematical beauty of Eulers equation into their love lives. For thosof you that are not familiar with Eulers equation it is e raised to the i pi plus 1 equals 0.

    This equation is so amazing because it relates 2 irrational numbers and an imaginary number and produces 0. According to one of my professors it was voted the mofamous equation of all time even over E=mc^2 in a survey of professors. More information about Eulers identity can be found on Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity

    Warning: Euler's Pi Day Date may lead to geekgasms- plan accordingly :)

    The pie that I made for this very special date is a strawberry / chocolate pie with a dark chocolate fudge crust.

    Step 1:Gathering IngredientsTo make your Pi Day Pie you will need the following:pi tart apples2pi/3 lbs strawberriessugarflowercinnamonnutmega can of sweetened and condensed milkvanilla

    butter2pi/3 cups of dark chocolate chips

    Step 2:Other Things You May NeedTo make the pie for your date you will need the following:a microwave safe mixing bowl.2 baking pansa pie pana spatulameasuring cupsan apple peeler

    Things that you may or may not need for your date:a ladderan elevated location such as a rooftop or a second story rooma picnic blanketflowers

    Step 3:Begin Your CrustMake the Fudge

    1. Put 2pi/3 cups of dark chocolate chips into a microwave save bowl.2. Pour 1 can of sweetened condensed milk on top3. Microwave for 1:30 on high. The chocolate chips will not look melted but dont worry abut this. If you microwave the mixture for longer you will burn the chocolate.4. Add pi/3 tbsp Vanilla or Vanilla Extract.5. Stir until smooth6. Lubricate a pie pan with pam7. Pour enough of the fudge into the pan to coat the bottom. Spread it out evenly. The fudge is very intense so make it thin to optimize your filling/fudge ratio.8. Spread the excess out on a sheet of wax paper lubricated with pam. You can use this to create decorations later or you can cut it into blocks and serve it as fudge.9. Put the wax paper on a cookie sheet. Refrigerate both the cookie sheet and the pie pan to solidify the fudge.10. If you let your roommates / family members lick the spatula and bowl they will love you a little extra. They might even be so thankful that they will help you with labin the coming steps.

    Step 4:Make the Apple Filling1. Skin pi apples2. Cut the apples into small pieces, and put them into a pan. You should leave them a little compacted; if you spread spread them out too much they will dry out a little

    3. Mix in:a. pi/12 cups flowerb. pi/12 tsp nutmegc. pi/6 tsp cinnamond. pi/12 cups sugare. a dash of salt

    Image Notes1. Burner is NOT on.

    Step 5:Prepare the Strawberry Filling1. Cut the strawberries into small pieces, and put them into a pan.2. Mix in:

    a. pi/6 cups flowerb. pi/8 cups sugarNote: we had fairly sweet strawberries and this yields a mildly tart filling which I think goes well with the chocolate. If your strawberries are less sweet or you like your pto be sweeter then you might want to add more sugar.

    Step 6:Bake the FillingsBake the fillings at 400 degrees for pi/6 hours.

    Step 7:Finish the CrustCut the fudge you spread out into strips about as wide as the height of the sides of the pie pan. Put strips around the rim of the pie. You can use your finger to melt thesides on to the bottom. Then use the rest of the strips to mold a pi shaped well in the middle of the pie. It manipulates similar to soft clay or play-doh. You can usetoothpicks to help the fudge stay up.

    Step 8:Finish the PieAfter the filling has cooled fill the pie. Then remove the toothpicks.

    Step 9:Setup Your DateIt's time to set up your Eulers equation themed date. In the emulation of the equation you are the e. This is why this date is especially applicable to engineers.Now lay out your picnic on your roof or another elevated structure. The structure is the exponent in Euler's mathematical equation.

    Call your date and tell her you need help with a plant thats square roots are damaging your roof.When she comes over take her up to the roof or other raised surface where you have your picnic laid out.No doubt she will be surprised by the picnic. When she asks where the plant is tell her that it is imaginary. If youve been keeping track the plant has square roots, isnegative because its damaging your roof, and is imaginary because you made it up. This is the i.Obviously the pie is the pi. Your date is the +1.What happens after this depends greatly on your style and the status of your relationship. Whether you sit and have a cute awkward chat about your favorite xkcd comor have a food fight and lick pie off each other is up to you.

    Step 10:The EndOf course Euler's date always ends in 0. (This refers to the pie being eaten, not your success.)
