Celebrate National Lemon Meringue Pie Day with a slice. I like Shoo-Fly Pies version or beg Jessie to make one for you at the 3.14 Bakery. Its even better if you kick back and enjoy it with a Best Friend. Do that and youve combined two more days--Relaxation Day and Best Friends Day. Dont stress out for Failures Day, its best to just roll with lifes punches. Chauvin Day honors Nicolas Chauvin, the patron saint of chauvinism or excessive zeal.
