mmmmm pie!

I just baked the first pie that I've ever baked in my life (key lime, made with key lime juice bought during my week in Key Wets this Summer). And now (partially inspired by my first pie and partially inspired by the movie The Waitress) I want to learn to bake more types of pies. I could always just go on to foodnetwork.com and look for recipes, but I thought it would be smarter to ask the people that I know if they have good recipes for pies (dessert of non-dessert). So, I've started asking around to find out who has pie recipes (first stop: Mom). I also had to commandeer a pie pan from my mother (because when I got into the kitchen to make a pie crust I realized that I did not own a pie pan). I'm still sort of intimidated to by pie-baking, so I thought if I had a recipe that I knew someone else was able to successfully make it'd be a good place to start ...

But speaking of The Waitress, maybe I'll just throw all my other career aspirations out the window and open my own pie shoppe. I already have one friend committed to working with me in our little pie shoppe. Now I just need to learn to make pie!
