  1. On Pi Day I’m back on the Dumpling Trail - this time for hand pies! This week’s dispatch has me trying my hand at the forerunner to samosas: Uzbek Samsa – triangular meat-filled dumplings that travelled the world from the Silk Road. Recipe included!

  2. March 14 is World Maths Day because in mm/dd format the date is like an approximation of pi 3.14…. aka Pi Day. So here’s a hand-printed block print related to math and pi. It shows the two piles with the two possible close packing of equal spheres, each below a diagram of the plan view of the layout: Face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close packed (hcp).
