But can she bake a cherry pie?

We missed it in the theaters. We just get so busy! Despite the reminders that it is important to support female directors the first weekend... we missed it. And so it was that Margot and I planned a get-together to watch Waitress at my place on DVD. (Thank you, Netflix!) But not just a movie night -- we decided to make PIE in honor of the film, and the beloved writer/director who came to such a tragic end. What I loved about the film: Adrienne Shelly's Dawn was a great character; and those pies, those pies, those pies! I still daydream sometimes about the brie cheese pie.

Judging from the photos, it might have done us good to watch the film first -- then try to make a pie...
