Ginger Peach and Nectarine Pie, or How I Had a Horrible, Terrifying, No Good Week

Posted by liana in Food | Life

I had to call 911 this week.
It was horrible, feeling helpless when someone you love needs you the most.

While everything is ok now, and will be ok from here on out, it was an experience no one will forget.

And in an effort to regain some soul, some peace and calm after our tumbles down the dark, deep rabbit hole, I did the only thing I thought could make everyone whole again.

I made some pie.

A ginger peach and nectarine pie, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and homemade crust.

At 8 a.m., with most of L.A. still tucked into their beds, my hands were covered in flour and butter.

The sinking feeling in my stomach was replaced with all the fruit I poured into the crust.

Then I cut out some hearts.

It was beautiful.

And everything seemed ok.

    Hi there! My roommate forwarded your blog to me – she said we were blogging soulmates due to our mutual coping mechanisms (making pie) and fluffy, little, white dogs (Mine’s name is Rupert and he’s amazing.)

    I’m currently making a peach/nectarine pie as well, but mine is sporting some cardamom, vanilla bean, and whiskey – yeah, mine needed a shot of the hard stuff. (Smile.) Anyway, nice to meet you… have a lovely day!
