My wife, who is from Michigan, just made pasties for a work potluck. After smelling them coming out of the oven, I've gone from

"I don't understand why you love them so much"

to

"Do you need to take ALL of them to the potluck?"

They smell amazing 🤤

Or you could bribe her, you probably know her soft spots.
@EntropySloth you're on to something here
