    Thank you for showing the correct pronunciation of pecan. No one understands me where I live because they all say peecan like weirdos.

    Tap for spoiler

    No, I don’t care if there are two common pronunciations. Please don’t involve me in your fetish pie

      Yeah, after my mom told me about having to use the pee can at night to avoid going to the outhouse when visiting her mountain relatives…

      I just can’t hear people say pee can pie without remembering her obviously very visercal memory of realizing what she had to do.

      Her parents and her lived in a house with indoor plumbing in the “city” so it was a bit of culture shock. And her storytelling implanted a core memory for me.

    I have two favorite Thanksgiving pies. Apple pie (especially warmed up later with a scoop of vanilla ice cream) And a chocolate pie my mom used to make with flaky crust and real whipped cream on top.

      warmed up later

      What does this mean? You bake a pie, let it cool to below room temperature, then reheat it again? That “twice baked” effect makes it taste even better?

        As with most large gatherings, prep time for anything that can be done ahead helps to mitigate things going…

        Yeah, when I make it for Thanksgiving, I make it the night before and it’s usually served room temp. Because of time and how busy and hectic everything is

        But warm apple pie is the absolute bomb. If microwaved not long at all, like 15 seconds. But warmed in a hot oven (if making something else) or like a minute in the air fryer.

        But I also eat it room temp or cold. It doesn’t usually last long enough as leftovers to need to be refrigerated.
