Summary:

The second reason I have a free pass to eat without regrets is on March 14, the so-called Pi Day. What started as a mathematical honor to the mathematical constant p has become a tasty tradition. It is one day in which reason collides with desires, and, frankly, I never would prefer reason over desires.

Pi Day is the best of both fun and decadence at the end of the day. It reminds us that it does not need to be so solemn all the time, and that the most basic traditions are sometimes the most appropriate ones, the ones connected with an additional piece of pie.
