Don't Hate Me For What Is About To Happen In Your Mouth

source

Brett and I have been watching a lot of Pushing Daisies these last few days when the stars have aligned and both kids have taken long naps AT THE SAME TIME. (Noted: This is when I should've been cleaning.) The result has been an overwhelming urge for a piece of pie. Or a pie sampler.

source

So, I told Brett that I wanted him to take me to a pie shop for my birthday and he agreed it was better than going bowling, which was my first suggestion. We have a bowling joke but it's only funny to us.

source

We plan on going to see Eat, Pray, Love before we enjoy our pie because I finally finished the book this weekend and the first third is all about indulging in delicious foods. For those who have and will ask, I enjoyed the book. It was an indulgence in itself.

Speaking of indulgences...

I love food with a sense of humor.
If today was the first day of your new diet, I apologize.
xoxo,

    LOVE Pushing Daisies. So sad it was cancelled.

    I did NOT love Eat, Pray, Love. It was super slow moving. I will say, though, that I don't have the connection that reading the novel might have provided. All I can say is that as a standalone movie...no bueno! After you see it, you must report back to say whether it was good or not...maybe I just reallly need to read the book to 'get it'.

    I made the bakerella "pie pops" a few weeks ago. They were SUPER easy and delicious. You should totally go for it! OR have Brett make them for you :)

    Pushing Daisies is an AWESOME show! Everything Chuck wears is breath taking! I love the humor of it all!

    The movie Waitress also makes you want pie MAJOR.

    Have a great birthday night! (& enjoy the pie!)

    Luckily this was not the first day of my diet...I've been dieting for almost 9 months now so this wasn't TOO much torture. But holy smokes that all looks so good. I shall get some pie on my cheat day Saturday. :) And those pie pops are adorable!! So clever.

    It wasn't the first day, it was the fifth! Big difference, right? It's not a diet, I'm just staying away from sugar for 30 days. I have been eating way too much of it, and my addiction needs to calm down. :) I was ispired by Josephine on Simple Lovely.

    Johnny and I had to take a break from Pushing Daisies. I'm not joking when I say we were going through 2 pies a week. Pies + pregnancy = one big mama!

    Pushing Daisies is the sweetest! I still can't believe it got cancelled. So glad that I just baked some peach crumble bars so that I can go eat a piece after seeing all these yummy photos!

    I loved the book Eat Pray Love, too. I think the movie will be disappointing, so I'll probably wait for it on dvd. Movie + Pie sure sounds like a fun birthday date, tho!
