don’t talk to me about the crust or the filling overtaking the pecans…i was high as fuck. does anyone even like pecan pies (i just chose it because it is an easy pie I know how to make off the top of my head and I have a friendsgiving to attend)

    Rate my pie

    Don’t talk to me about the crust or the filling

    Weird, I don’t see a pie here, just some pecans I guess? I’m not trying to gate keep but I think you need more than that to call it a pie comrade.

      oooaaaaaaauhhh I JUST DIDN’T WANT ANYONE TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE ‘wow, it looks like you forgot to make sure there was enough crust on the sides hope the filling doesn’t fall out’ after I’d spent like 10 minutes moaning to myself in the kitchen that I should have really measured twice before cutting after pouring the filling in and realizing what I’d done.

          wrong, they actually got mad at me because i refused to make focaccia and told them “i’m going to bring something thanksgiving themed” and when the google doc went up & I put down pecan pie I immediately got a text from the host going “please don’t bring a damn pecan pie instead of the focaccia” but I’m doing it because WHO EATS FOCACCIA FOR THANKSGIVING (i say in disgust, as if my thanksgiving meal isn’t usually a lasagna or baked ziti that I smash by myself while the rest of my family eats ham)

      Think Juniper think-mark Do you really want to date someone who mainly eats fried potatoes for every meal, someone who gags/vomits when they eat something that has even a whiff of a food texture I’m adverse to, someone whose sleep schedule varies day to day and very well may be up at 4:00am baking a test pecan pie in advance for a friendsgiving dinner he’s going to attend where he’ll probably eat solely dinner rolls and pies. No!!! You don’t!!! That’s why every person who has had romantic interests in me has crashed and burnt <2 years into a relationship with me!! You can’t expect to date me and me not to order just french fries & maybe a grilled cheese off the kids menu alongside a moscow mule at the steakhouse your parents take us out to or at the company party you drag me to; even if I did grow up learning how to cook and can reliably cook and know being picky is looked down upon by most of society!!!

      tl;dr yes but I am very neurotic, extremely picky, and also quite poor so I don’t think you should settle for mid pecan pies when it comes with so much additional baggage. plus uhhhh…i am a huge slut and love being single because i can hit up various men on grindr and ask them to spit in my mouth and feel no remorse for doing so because i know they’ll block me after i leave. waow this felt like a good journal entry don’t blame me if i edit this in like 6 hours and delete all of that

    I’d rate it a 7/10, crust looks nice, few small Performance Indicators along the back of the pan and in the filling, but otherwise passes inspection for a class 2 (J-STD) pie with flying colors.

      The exterior was the only redeeming part I think. The crust, perfect. The top? Pretty good.

      Interior kinda is mid imo. I’m not sure if it is the recipe I used (the ‘no corn syrup’ pecan pie my grandmother taught me) or if I actually somehow managed to overcook it but it is both very close to what I remember and yet so far. (I haven’t had this specific pecan pie in almost two decades though so shrug-outta-hecks)

      I think my biggest mistake was putting 1/2 of crushed pecans into the filling. I distinctly remember my grandmother doing this, but I can only assume she was doing deep-dish pies and that’s why mine turned out like it did. Or maybe I should have cut back on the butter, as evident from the pie dish…maybe I shouldn’t bake while blitzed actually

      allergic to arguably my favorite tree nut that blows I am so sorry for you. there’s nothing better than getting a nut cracker and sitting in front of a bowl of shelled pecans your neighbor harvested from their pecan tree and gave to you for free & just going to down. used to be an after-school activity for me while I watched Kyle XY, the hit ABC Family show
