Pie, Oh my!

This is what I was busy doing while I should have been job hunting today.



This was my inspiration.



Besides being a simply wonderful show, watching Pushing Daisies has put me in the pie-making mood. The main character is a pie maker and every episode has all these beautiful pies, in every imaginable flavor, like pear with gruyere baked into the crust. My pie is just plain old blueberry, but a girl's gotta start somewhere. And this was my first attempt at making a pie crust from scratch, so we'll see how that turns out. I managed to get the dough everywhere. I found it on my phone and my computer, and I found a little in my ear. The pie's still cooling, but I've been sticking my fingers in the blueberry part, and I must say, it's pretty delightful.

In other news, they're doing road work outside my house. So, what has always been a busy, fairly noisy street corner has turned into the sort of street corner where there's a policeman with a whistle that sounds every three seconds, and you can hear people yell the F-word from their cars. Oh well, I've got blueberry pie.
