Pi day approacheth

Okay, it's a month away, but it's never too soon to start thinking about celebrating pi day! I made a classic this past weekend. Make an all-butter crust, then peel and thinly slice at least six different varieties of apples (I used pink lady, gala, granny smith, red delicious, and I forget what else). Stir some flour, cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice into the apple slices, and pour them into the crust.

Don't panic if you have too many - just bake a secondary dish of apple slices!

Drape the top crust on, and take a little time to embellish it if you can: 

I promise you can taste the love all the way to the last slice eaten for breakfast the next morning:

  For a different slice of pie, and to solve the bonus clue, follow this recipe:

Ingredients:

1. The first ten digits of π.  They are: 3.141592653...

2. These 10 operations: - x + + x + ÷ + + -

3. The green 10 number sequence on your Mission Narus card.

Recipe:

1. Start with the first digit of π.  Apply the first operation to the first digit on your card. (In this case, 3 - first # on card = ?)

2. Convert this number to its alphabetic equivalent.

Repeat for the 2nd digit of π/2nd operation/2nd # on card.

When complete you'll have a 10 letter word.  Text this word to Mission Control.

Eat more pie!
