Pecan Pie with Eva Anderson
You're The Worst writer Eva Anderson has very specific memories about pecan pie, mostly revolving around Wicca and menstruation. She and Katherine have known each other since middle school, and they talk about sleeping under a tarp in Joshua Tree, and why growing up in Washington will make you think the only pie is blackberry pie.
