Life of Pie

So, like many people, tomorrow we're having an Oscar themed dinner with friends and I've been tasked to make a pie -- "Life of Pi", right?

So here are the ideas going through my head:

• Amour:  Okay, I didn't see this movie but I hear it's about someone who doesn't eat.  <sigh>  This isn't going to be easy but maybe I can cheat with something French influenced.  Maybe this is my chance to hit a savory pie and do a French Leek Pie or maybe just do something with ''French'' in the name..like French Silk Chocolate Pie.
• Argo:  Geez!  What can I do here?  Well, I can always riff off of the time and do something related to Carter and peanuts.  I've wanted to try to recreate the peanut butter pie served at Pasadena's Pie and Burger so maybe this is the time to do it.
• Beasts of the Southern Wild:  Hmmm, I already did a Bourbon Pecan Pie.  Is there a way to combine birthday cake and pie?
• Django Unchained:  ...or even white cake and pie?
• Les Miserables:  Oh boy, another movie with French people who don't eat.
• Life of Pi:  For a[nother] movie about the lack of food, I'm hoping the ''pie'' itself will cover this theme.  Otherwise, I'm looking at some sort of fish pie (which makes me think of a tuna casserole) or Tiger Pie...hmmm, the latter sound interesting.
• Lincoln:  Okay, it's become evident that this year's Oscars definitely seems to have a theme around not eating.  From what I read, though, Lincoln (as I mentioned in a previous post) drank a lot of coffee and liked apples.  I already made an apple pie but maybe I can come up with a variation like Mini Apple Pies or Brown Butter Apple Cheddar Pie.  Or I could run with the coffee theme...of course, serving my kids coffee pie would not make me happy later when I want them to go to sleep.
• Silver Lining Playbook:  Not aware of a pie that Philadelphia's famous for but maybe there's something that can be done with Philadelphia Cream Cheese.  Maybe a variation of the Cherry Cheese Pie from a couple weeks ago.

And lastly...

• Zero Dark 30:  Like Argo, maybe there's a Middle East take I can roll with here.  Maybe I can riff on milk and honey or something.

Well, I have a lot to think about here.  Whatever I end up with, though -- whether it takes into account all movies or just one or two -- I'm sure will be yummy.  :o)
