she asked me to make a pumpkin-bourbon-pecan pie (gluten free) so she could have pie.


Sounds delish (except you do know bourbon technically isn't quite gluten-free?).

I have a funny Thanksgiving pie story. My ex and I trade off holidays with the kids, and this year they went with him and his young wife to a "Friendsgiving". One of the girls there made a pie which smelled suspiciously of vinegar - turned out she'd misread her recipe and used apple cider vinegar where she was supposed to use apple cider!
