 I do not like pecan pie. But apparently other people do, so I made pecan pie for Thanksgiving one year. 

Following the directions from the recipe book, and muttering, "what? How much sugar? That can't be right." Flips page to make sure I'm looking at the right recipe. 👀 "Ok, this just looks wrong" pours and ungodly amount of sugar in, "ok, stirring and stirring, until it turns what color?" 👀 Adding pecans, "oh my God this smells terrible. I've definitely done it wrong, this can't be right."

Spouse walks in, "oh smells great!"

Me, sweaty, stressed, and flummoxed, "what?? Really??"

Spouse: I love pecan pie! 
Me: that's why I made it. (Pulls pie out oven) but I think I fucked it up
Spouse: no no, it's supposed to look like that
Me: 🤨 
 @9d06aba0 yep, sounds like you made it right. (It’s not my jam either 🥴) 
 @9d06aba0 just out of curiosity- are y’all pee-can or peck-kan people? I’m the latter!
