"It's Pi day today," commented my daughter-in-love Jill last evening. A lemon cake sat on the kitchen counter, so of course I thought she meant "Pie Day" and oh dear, here I'd made a CAKE rather than a PIE on Pie Day.
Nope, Pi Day, March 14 or 3.14, the mathematical configuration for Pi. Did I say that right? Gosh, I hate math and stink at it. I only know 3.14 means Pi, somehow. Feel free to correct me. I should google it. The ignorance is killing me, so I will ... from http://www.piday.org/:
Pi, Greek letter is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th. Pi = 3.1415926535…
So, we made our cake into a lemon "Pi Cake," not to be confused with a lemon pie.
It's March in the midwest .... we must entertain ourselves.
Did you celebrate Pi Day?

Ha! I appreciate how you say "its march in Ohio" as though there is nothing to do... I celebrated Pi day by grading a lot of Dan's math papers!
Ooooh, I can see it now. Pi day decorations filling store shelves before Christmas. People shopping for days to prepare the pi day feast!!!
It's a fickle month. In like a lion and all. But today is sunny, in the 50's and the bulbs are beginning to peek up. A good day to walk the dog too!
But we haven't yet put away the snow shovels either ....
I'm thinking your cake should have been round so that you could have measured the circumference.
BTW, don't let Hallmark know you're celebrating an "un-card" holiday!
Yeah, it should have been round, had I even realized it was Pi Day BEFORE I made the cake!
I've never even heard of Pi day - but my love for math is right up with yours! This is silly!
