Perhaps you've seen the posts on Facebook and Twitter. Maybe your Instagram feed is filled with artfully framed photos of baked goods. Maybe you've even seen signs and promotions at the grocery store or bakery.
Today, 3/14, is Pi Day. But instead of trying in vain to remember those formulas you learned back in high school geometry (hint: π r² or 2 π r), we suggest that you celebrate Pi Day with a nice slice of pie.
Looking back into the AnnArbor.com archives, it becomes quickly apparent that we're really big pie fans here. To help you connect with your pie of choice, I've compiled a few of our favorite recipes below.
IT’S HERE! First of the Season - Copper River Sockeye Salmon! The much anticipated Copper River Sockeye Fishery marks the start of the fresh Alaskan salmon season! Copper River Sockeyes are prized not only because they are the first of the season, but also because they’re the best! Copper River sockeye salmon are the most flavorful and nutritious salmon on earth due to their high fat content. The Copper River Sockeyes’ fat content is directly related to the Copper River itself. The Copper River is a 300-mile long rugged river sporting a vertical rise of 3,600 feet and current speed of up to 10 miles per hour. For salmon to reach their spawning grounds under such conditions, they must be very strong and have a lot of “fuel” stored for their upcoming journey. This high fat and oil content are what makes Copper River salmon the world's best-eating salmon! Only available 3-4 weeks each year – get yours while the season lasts!
