flour looks a lot like first snow.

guest blogger #2 reporting for duty. this is mickey, aka nina's right hand man, posting at the beginning of hour number five (roughly speaking). things have gone relatively well so far, though nina is concerned that she is a bit behind. needless to say, she has plenty of time to catch up, and plenty of caffeinated substances to help her along the way.

there is a fine dusting of flour coating much of the kitchen. it's kind of winter nostalgic-looking. ariel (aka guest blogger #3) is currently making a video of nina doing her magic. magic meaning "adding shortening and advising others never to undertake such an insane proposition as this, ever."

the first photos of Pieathon-in-Progress are here! you can almost smell the crusts baking, the graham crackers being ground into a sweet crumble, and the indomitable, adorable nina soldiering on in her quest.

that's a lotta pumpkin.

it is taking yeoman restraint not to tear into one of these babies with my bare hands.

our intrepid pieathoner! isn't she the sweetest thing you ever saw? yes indeed.
