Pie is just so fun. Pie is pretty. Pie is nostalgic. Pie reminds me of my childhood, of my Mammaw, an avid pie-maker, a mother of six, and a farmer in Southern Ohio. Pies have a very fun place in pop culture…

The Waitress’s, “I Can’t Have No Affair Because It’s Wrong and I Don’t Want Earl to Kill Me Pie.” Agent Cooper’s obsession with the catatonic cherry pie served at the Twin Peaks Double R Diner. Sally Albright’s high-maintenance slice of orgasmic apple pie a la mode… did I mention I have a sizeable VHS collection?

Pie is symbolic of the things I value - family, tradition, creativity, sugar, and friendship. Pie transfers a childlike kind of joy from the giver to the receiver.
