I sniffed my nose at Pushing Daisies when it aired. My parents were casual watchers of the show, and this left little desire for me to get into it. They love The Bachelor and Survivor, so don't think me harsh. It's brief availability and highly suggestive star rating helped me glaze over my miffed indifference. Alas, the woe in discovering a show after its been canceled!
Pushing Daisies features the main character in the equally surreal and beautiful movie The Fall. This hunk is a pie maker who owns The Pie Hole and has a secret. Ned can make people "alive again" and solves murder mysteries with his childhood love, Chuck. Chuck dresses in lavish and envious clothes right out of Mad Men but can never consumate her love with the pie maker because another touch would make her dead again. Ned works with pink sized sweetie Olive who is Broadway star Kristen Chenowith and a sassy black man detective. The imaginative back-story, unrequited love, surreal settings rendered me helpless. I zipped through the first season and resorted to illegal streaming shows for the second.
This show sparked in me a Pie making itch! I had the seedling after a particular episode featured and extra special Pear and Gruyere cheese baked into the crust pie. Damn, it was hard to make! The weekends I'm going to be baking more and hopefully experimenting with more Pie Recipies. I gave it to my own love taking a note from another pie movie Waitress and calling it Tenderheart Pie.
XOXO,
Betty
