A.R.T. Community Cookbook: Rum is Better Than Our Boyfriends in 1992 But Not Better Than Our Husbands in 2015 Pie by Gretchen, Mary & Fara

Rum is Better Than Our Boyfriends in 1992 But Not Better Than Our Husbands in 2015 Pie

From the Kitchen of: Gretchen, Mary & Fara

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. vegan or milk ricotta

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ¼ cup coconut rum

  • ½ cup chocolate chips or raisins

  • 6-8 crushed graham crackers

Directions:

  1. Make a base of 6-8 crushed graham crackers. Really mash ‘em up (because you deserve better circa 1992).

  2. Mix remaining ingredients – and add cinnamon if nobody’s looking. (Scientists stick to recipes but even scientists add extra rum.)

  3. Pour ricotta mixture over graham crust.

  4. Refrigerate.

  5. Do not cut (just dig in). Enjoy!

Jenna is a waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Her customers, co-workers, and the town’s handsome new doctor all offer her conflicting recipes for happiness—but Jenna ultimately has to decide for herself. This poignant and uplifting new musical celebrates friendship, motherhood, and the courage it takes to pluck a long abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress is a new musical directed by Diane Paulus, featuring music and lyrics by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles.
