pies, hour 2.5

greetings from camp pie-a-thon. this is pie-helper #1, aka rachel, reporting in from the couch in nina's kitchen. i arrived here a half an hour ago, just in time to help sierra bring his large baking rack in for nina to borrow. also in time to catch nina in the act of changing her shoes from a pair of gold ballet flats to new balance running shoes. it smells very nicely like christmas cookies in here; nina is in the pie crust cooking phase of things. she has a plan! a pie-baking logistics plan! of course. and that plan begins with a lengthy pie-crust making moment. and so the room is filled with dough and puddles of flour and the smell of yum. she has all her graham cracker pie crusts done and baked off. whatever that means. i don't know from this stuff.

lets amble over to the baker at work and get some insight into the work in progress.

rachel: how's it going?
nina: five crusts down, 33 more to go!
rachel: what are you thinking about RIGHT NOW?
nina: i'm thinking about "don't fuck up," because its very easy when you're making so much stuff to forget an ingredient, you know? [silence] sorry, i'm really trying to concentrate.
rachel: sorry its my job to bug you. one final word for your fans?
nina: i don't know. i think i've decided that pie and stuffing are the two most important parts of the thanksgiving table.

there you have it folks. straight from the activist baker's mouth. more in a minute.
