Pi Day

 

No, we didn't give up eating for Lent; nor did we give up blogging. We just keep forgetting. Also, my computer kept shutting down after 20 minutes or so because it was overheating, so running Picasa was out of the question. I now have a new laptop, but I'm not promising that will mean more regular posting. We'll see. Anyway, as everyone should remember, Wednesday (3/14), was Pi Day, so we had an apple pie. I must say that I am a big fan of the refrigerated roll-out pie crusts that are being sold these days--very easy! Possibly a bit lazy, but when you're peeling and slicing 9-10 apples, a faster crust is much appreciated.

In other Pi Day news, it appears that my email to bluemountain.com last year about the inaccuracy of their definition of "transcendental number" on one of their Pi Day e-cards did not actually inspire them to change it--despite their reply that they were terribly embarassed and would fix it as soon as possible, a reply that I received before the end of March last year. I meant to write to them again this year before Pi Day to remind them to fix their "educational" blurb at the bottom, but I forgot. Thus, the lie continues to be perpetuated by the poor unsuspecting people out there who just want to wish their friends and family a happy Pi Day.

This entry is not very focused on food. Oh, well.
