a few years ago, i became obsessed with the movie, waitress.
tell me you saw the wonderfulness that it is! the movie itself gives me goosebumps. i love it. the tragic true story of the writer/director breaks my heart. :(
chris being the total stud gift giver that he is, enrolled me in a local pie class, taught by penny of penny's pies. penny taught a private class at her home for kira and i and we came home with 3 pies and a quiche. our lives have been changed. penny is an awesome teacher, very easy to love. :) i love making my own crust, i feel so betty crocker :) quiche is a pretty regular thing around here, i think this last one was probably my best crust yet. (phone pics)
heavenly! i wish i had some leftovers now! so like i said. chris was pretty smart to give me a gift of a pie class. our family will continue to reap from it's lesson :)
Yum! What an awesome gift!!! Love that you and Kira could do it together.:)

Do you hear my stomach growling? I'm starving all of a sudden and craving a pie.

WAITRESS IS ONE OF MY TOP THREE FAVORITE MOVIES! I'M SO GLAD I KNOW SOMEONE (WHO LIVES LIKE THREE BLOCKS AWAY COINCIDENTALLY!) WHO LOVES IT JUST AS ME!!! We should totally have a Waitress movie night. Awhile ago I dedicated a whole blog post to my feelings about Waitress and Adrienne Shelley: http://chrisandpaige.blogspot.com/2009/01/one-with-adrienne-shelley.html
Your pies look delicious!

I never saw the movie...I'll have to rent it soon. I think it is a brilliant gift idea...better than my cousin who gave his wife a subscription to Jenny Craig & the local gym (said she was getting a little hefty).

Chris seems like such a romantic! It's a practical gift, sure, but it's so unique and so so thoughtful that you can't say the gift was for him. Well, maybe a little, but what a great idea! Obviously he put thought into it instead of getting you a new perfume or whatnot, so that's what counts.

that is an amazing movie. i stumbled across it in on-demand one day and had to watch because i heard so many talking about it. its truly a special story.
what a cool gift. pie crust is on my list as one of the things i want to master one day,

I've seen the movie and really enjoyed it. It did kind of stir up my frustration in that I'm terrible at making crust!!!!

I just saw this movie like 3 weeks ago. It was sent to me by mistake and it sat there for 2 months before i watched it. I sat there thinking what an idiot I was to have it sit there that long when I could have been watching it over and over again. love, love, love that movie!
I feel like watching it now lol

Love the movie! Love the gift...how fun!

Oooh, I love quiche. It's so easy to make. I also have a fav peaches and cream pie that employs sour cream in the mix.
I must confess though that I purchase my crusts. If you have any tips or recipes to pass along, I'm open. My success with making pie crusts is nill.
