2. Welcome to it.
I do like the smell of pumpkin pie but not the pie.

I have a really nice pumpkin pie candle burning, love the smell.

I also don't like pecan pie, that makes me a bad Texan.

22. Yes, you are indeed a bad Texan for not liking pecan pie
:P

Do you like pecans, though? What about pralines? :D

26. I only like picking pecans, but not eating pecans.
I do not like pralines.

I spent over two hours today picking pecans, great weather for it.

27. I spent over two hours taking a nap today
and my cat yelling for attention ever twenty minutes.

Maybe substituting a nut you like would work then :D

28. Not paying attention to your cat is dangerous.
My Hurricane Ike was like that, he wanted attention when he wanted it.

10. I like picking pecans, picked a big box today for a neighbor who will shell them.
I could pick pecans all day, but not eat them.

I only like apple pie.

11. I don't either, but I like making it.
Paula Deen has a recipe for Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake that is really good! Tastes nothing like pumpkin pie.

But you lost me at pecan. I now think you're a psychopath.

19. What kind of apple?
Empire? Mac? McCoon? Strawberry? Northern Spy? Orange Pipin? Granny?

Obviously, not a New Englander... :P

21. Oooh! There is no such thing as generic apples!
You MUST come to New England in the fall. Then you will understand.

Having lived in Texas for twenty years, take my word for it: You haven't tasted apples until you've had them fresh picked from the orchard. There is nothing else like it!

23. Now you are making me hungry.
I find that the only good tasting apples down here are the ugly looking ones.

The pretty ones have no taste.

25. Most people have never tasted fresh apples
Most apples sold commercially are varieties bred to keep for a long long time.

Flavor is secondary.

Local varieties generally don't keep, and are only sold locally.

And don't let me get started on pumpkins... :9

30. My great, late mom-in-law made the best apple pie in the world.
(She made the best everything else, too, but that's another deal.) So, the corner of the universe that I could grab in the family was the rhubarb custard pie corner. I could make one of those in 20 minutes of returning home from the Friday night club. lol

The things you do when you're 20. :silly:
