"I don't want Earl's baby" Pie
I recently got the movie, Waitress, courtesy of my wondrous Netflix account. It was Adrienne Shelly's debut, and final, film. She died before it came out. I do not want to be a downer, so I will get to the title of this blog entry. Follow the link to learn about her, if you are interested.
The main character in the film is a pie maker, both sweet and savory. To help deal with her stresses and anxiety, she will quietly breathe and come up with pie ideas in her head. (Kinda like a form of meditation.) In one scene, she finds out she is pregnant with her miserable husband's baby and she feel lost. This ruins her escape plan. She immediately thinks up a pie entitled, "I don't want Earl's Baby Pie."
Silly name. And with my luck, the pie I remember is probably some other silly name. But for now, we'll go with my weird memory.
She takes a pie crust and makes a bottom layer of brie. She puts a mound of ham in the center and pours egg mixture over.
As soon as I saw this I knew I wanted to make it.
Unfortunately, I have been sick, can't taste anything, and haven't got out to the store. Hubby is making me leave the house today and is taking me out. The last thing I want to do is move but I know I will feel better and do need to get out.
Damn husbands.
Anyway, I am planning on making it tomorrow. Hope it does not turn out like the biscuits I made last night. They were total shit and I followed that recipe to a T. It was from allcooks or something. I used to make the bestest biscuits in the world. It was my grandma's recipe. We moved and I can't find it to save my life. I am beside myself with heartbreak.
Sad thing is, it is only four ingredients but I cannot remember the proportions.
