My favorite cuisine is Mexican and my favorite sweet treat is ice cream. I do enjoy cooking and have come to like it a lot since pandemic hit for which I'm grateful. Out of bad situation came something wonderful - a new passion. I had to check out the link for donuts as that's DH favorite thing to eat but he won't turn down cake or pie or just about anything sweet. :DCathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220008586703373188.post-30357333303123016902021-04-19T07:26:32.217-07:002021-04-19T07:26:32.217-07:00The scenes of food preparation for that meal, as w...The scenes of food preparation for that meal, as well as the dining, are fantastic, right? I was intrigued by it all. The care and love and art that went into the cooking, and the connection felt by those who feasted.

But perhaps because I had to write an essay about that film while in school, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I couldn't recommend it! hahaha! Maybe I need to give it another try.

So I naturally thought of pie, and the quirky film "Waitress." The main character Jenna is also a pie baker, and each pie is named after her emotions over things going on in her life. Clever movie, and a few of those pies looked good enough to eat!
