Ellipsis Weekend Cooking... Twin Peaks Cherry Pie

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks Cherry Pie - NYT - Recipe

A slice of cherry pie, and "a damn fine cup of coffee", and suddenly you're back at the, RR Diner, in Twin Peaks, Washington! We now know who killed Laura Palmer, and why, so that mystery is over, but what do you suppose is happening there now? Sometimes I wish that ABC, or some other network, would bring back the show, but with the deaths of several creative forces, David Lynch and Peggy Lipton in particular, it means the show would have to change too much, and really, how could Twin Peaks stay the same forever? And I guess that's my point. The town would have moved along as we all did. The Internet and other annoyances would have moved into their strange little world, bringing with it a lot less to imagine. Although I did enjoy the reboot in 2017, but I am glad it was held to a limited run. Anyhoo, I came across this recipe in the New York Times, and I thought I would share it. I am not sure if I will try the recipe right now, or wait until autumn. Autumn is my favorite time to bake, it's the time of year I feel most inspired. So, there is something to look forward to. Autumn is only a couple months away now, and it the perfect time of year to binge Twin Peaks, as I eat this Cherry Pie.

The real life Double RR Diner, is actually, Twede's Diner, located at, 137 W. North Bend Way, North Bend, Washington.

When I was a little girl, I loved the Mod Squad, and I still do to this day! I mean, how groovy were they? My neighbors lovie that show too. I can remember sitting outside, on an especially hot night in August, listening to my friend's parents discussing trivial things. Grown up trivia. But when they began talking movies and tv shows, my ears perked up! I was really curious about what they watched and why! My friend Wendy had some chic parents, at least by my reasoning as an 7 year old. Mrs. Greg lived for the Mod Squad, and she was miserable that she couldn't just survive the house to watch it. No air-conditioner, meant you toughed it out inside, or took it outside, even if it was still blistering hot at 10:00 pm! I don't why that memory is so sealed in my mind, but it is. I guess it's just one of life's mysteries, what you remember and what you don't. Anyway, years later I bought the full series on DVD for hubby, because he had never seen the show! Can you believe it? So, if you are like darling hubby and you have never seen the amazing hip coolness, of the Mod Squad, here is a particularly wonderful clip of Peggy Lipton, from 1969, singing, Now That's Everything's Been Said, by Carole King. It's truly wonderful. It's peaceful. We need that right now. I need that right now. And the nostalgic feeling and memories it brings up aren't bad either.
