title: Rails: to_date with a month/day/year format
body: <p>I have a simple question here. I have an instance variable with a created_at. How would I convert it to  <code>Month, day, year ~ September, 13, 1987</code></p>
  
  <p>When I tried = @example.created_at In my view it gives me <code>1987-09-13</code></p>
  
  <p>Oddly enough when I do this method in console I get <code>Sun, 13 Sep 1987</code></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How do I turn my variable to month, date, year?</li>
  <li>Why does it return something different in console?</li>
  </ol>
