Did you see the movie, "The Waitress" with Keri Russell? She baked life-inspired pies which have been on my mind. There was, I Don't Want Earl's Baby pie, I Can't Have no Affair Because it's Wrong & I Don't Want Earl to Kill Me pie, & Baby Screamin' It's Head Off in the Middle of the Night & Ruinin' My Life pie. So I found myself in need of my own concoction today.
I'm getting ready to leave the country shortly and am bothered by the trail of destruction left by my dating disasters. So it was time to bake Lonely Chicago Day of Reckoning pie. I emailed Jordan and told him I told him I loved him and wished him a whole lot of luck in his career. Then I baked. Take one pre-fab pie crust and bake it brown. Cook chocolate pudding on the stove. Add crushed up berries for sweet little memories, throw in a handful of cranberries and squares of dark chocolate for your bitterness. Mix with cinnamon and prove that the sweetness of reckoning can overpower the bitterness of regret. Eat with friends. Know that since they are guys they will have no idea what you're talking about when you name your pie, but they might unknowingly come under it's influence.

Hmmm.... I never did see that movie, but I am now tempted to watch it. Something good (delicious pie) out of something not-so-good (heartache). Lovely.
When I saw your blog title, my first thought was "Waitress". I might have to concoct spme of my own.
I did see the movie! But I like the name of your pie best. When life gives you bittersweet, make pie!
