Yesterday was a momentous occasion, folks.
I made my very first cherry pie.
No canned filling, either...a friend at work shared some of her precious stash of frozen sour cherries.
{And now I will be groveling at her feet like some junkie, begging for my next hit of fruity nectar.}
Side note: Williams-Sonoma once again cemented their place in my heart as purveyors of moderately useless, yet completely engaging kitchen gadgets...see the darling little cherry piecrust stamps below?
As I was popping my prize into the oven, I realized that it was a special day.
March 14th.
3/14.
Pi day.
Realizing that there would be pie on pi day, well...it just tickled my funny bone.
I giggled.
I chortled.
Actually, I'm still chuckling at the lovely coincidence of it all.
Happy, happy pi day, friends.
Editor's note: Upon discussing this momentous occasion, one of the residents {doctors-in-training} at work may or may not have asked me if "all of the other Star Trek convention attendees got as excited as I did about pi day". Humph. I bet she's a closet tribble-lover.

Does that make you feel less nerdy?
We will celebrate pi day with you any time! It was heavenly!
Thanks, I needed the laugh tonight...that was hilarious!
Katie: Bless you for making me feel as though I have company in the ranks of nerd-dom! I love it.

Dear Williams-Sonoma,
I have your new tag-line.
(am off to buy a cherry stamp!)
Miss Miranda--
The cherry stampers are {maddeningly} seasonal and {infuriatingly} limited in number. Ebay is your best bet.
