The Pie Song

Have you guys seen the movie Waitress? It's one of my favorites--not in the Martin Scorsese kind of way, but it's really sweet and surprisingly hilarious. There were many laugh-out-loud moments for me. (Maybe it's cause I wasn't expecting it?) Well, I watched it again cause I felt like it, and I forgot how much this movie makes me want to bake PIES every time I watch it. I don't actually have anything to bake a pie with, so I'll just post these pictures instead (oh, and they have really cute names):

Earl Murders Me Because I'm Having An Affair Pie

Marshmallow Mermaid Pie

I Can't Have No Affair Because It's Wrong And I Don't Want Earl To Kill Me Pie

Falling In Love Pie

A few other places to find recipes:

Lonely Chicago Pie

I Don't Want Earl's Baby Pie

Baby don't you cry,

Gonna make a pie,

Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle,

Baby don't be blue,

Gonna make for you,

Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle,

Gonna be a pie from heaven above,

Gonna be filled with strawberry love,

Baby don't you cry,

Gonna make a pie,

Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Two in the Morning

I rarely stay up this late, and I remember I don't do that because I start to look up things like

A Sur la Table Mini Doughnut Pan is not a luxury. It's a necessity.

This is why I am 'Girl in the Afternoon.'

P.S. I want

a french press. I saw an ad outside of Peet's as I was passing by, and I'm planning on stopping in later this week.

Yup. I want one bad.

Potato, Potahto

Two days ago, I caught an episode of Man v. Food and on this particular episode, there was a three-and-a-half pound cinnamon roll. You think I'm kidding:

Yeah, that's right. That is a thirty-pound three-and-a-half year old girl and that's a three-and-a-half pound cinnamon roll. And man, oh man, did I have an intense (and unfortunate) craving for cinnamon after I saw this gorgeous thing. After I convinced myself that booking a flight to San Antonio to get this cinnamon roll was going a little too far, I remembered I was meaning to make Irish Potatoes for St. Patty's Day (which has cinnamon!!!)! 

I'm not Irish and I'm not huge on St. Patty's Day, but anything with cocoa, coconut, and cinnamon is enough for me. And Joy the Baker (my favorite baking blog) just posted an Irish Potato recipe! I'm telling you this is the universe telling me to make these cute little potato-looking goodies.

Don't worry, there aren't any potatoes involved, but don't they look exactly like tiny potatoes?? Adorable! And super easy to make with basic ingredients (I hope you're already on your way to the pantry). Happy St. Patty's Day!
