Happy Christmas.

I learned something today.

I learned that pecan pie is extremely difficult to cut.

If you just bring a knife down on the pie as if you were cutting a regular pie, all the pecans get pushed away from the knife and you end up with a huge strip in your pie where there are no pecans.

If you try too hard to make sure you cut the pecans at the same time as cutting the pie, you’ll forget to cut the pie, then when you go back to cut the bottom part of the pie, the pecans will have moved to a different location and you’ll end up cutting each pecan more than once, and you’ll end up with diced pecans rather than cut pecans.

Does this sound confusing?

Well it’s as confusing as it sounds.
