Sometime when I was home with S on mat leave 2 years ago I happened to catch a movie called “Waitress” with Keri Russell, the actress with the curly hair that I always envied from the tv show “Felicity”.   She was a waitress at a local diner who made amazing pies.  The scenes in the movie where she makes all those pies mesmerized me.  It just seemed so soothing, languid and comforting all at the same time.  The motions of combining the ingredients, licking your fingers in the process, combined with the heat of the oven and warm summer breezes through the open window made me never want to return to work again and make pies all day.  Mind you I had never attempted at making a pie.  Until yesterday.

I had the Friday off and was sans child and was on my way to the local grocery store.  I picked up some Niagara peaches and had the urge to make a pie that afternoon as my brother in law and fam were coming over later that night for dinner.

So I came home and began searching for a recipe.  Almost an hour and a half later; who knew there were so many damn good food blogs out there, I had found one that seemed easy enough.  Here’s the link to the blog and recipe in case anyone’s interested.

Other than midway in the process of boiling the peaches to get the skin off; which was way harder than it should’ve been, I discovered I had no sugar.  After a long 15 minutes of debating should I go next door, give up the baking, or run to the store I found some brown sugar.  So all was saved.  And my pie?  Turned out fabulous!!  I’ll be attempting more pie making in the future for sure now!!
