As the weather cools off and the idea of firing up an oven feels less like a suicidal option and the idea of warm pie returns to its proper place in the pantheon of things that make life happy, I will be embarking on a project to recreate every pie in Adrienne Shelly's 2007 film Waitress.
The pies fall into 5 categories:
1. Pies that are named in the film along with ingredients.
2. Pies that are named in the film without ingredients.
3. Pies that are seen in the film but not named.
4. Pies that are inspired by the film in some manner.
5. Pies from the recipe cards that were included in the DVD set. (Some of which fall under categories 1 or 2 but most of which technically fall under cateory 4.)
As I go along in this picaresque pie odyssey I expect to go back and forth from the experimental (who knows what I'll end up coming up with for that guacamole green pie that we see in the film) to the easy and comforting.
So, here's to a journey through pie. What better journey could anyone hope to embark on?

What about that I'm-havin'-an-affair-Earl's-gonna-kill-me pie?
that looked delicious. Rasberries and dark chocolate, I think.
I'm going to think of a pie inspired by Cal. Resignation Pie, maybe, or more charitably, Serenity Pie. A tear of joy and gratitude rolls down his face as Keri Russel agrees to make it for him. Or maybe she doesn't. Maybe he slops it together himself, and it's ugly, but tasty, and that's okay.
