The Pecan Pie Affair
By T. Lee Harris
Published by Untreed Reads
It’s Thanksgiving Day and Josh Katzen finds himself just off the coast of Turkey aboard the Diogenes, the converted minesweeper used as a dive platform for underwater archaeology. All is not well in the kitchen because the Turkish cook couldn’t find pecans for the pecan pie. Trying to escape the volatile kitchen atmosphere, Josh hitches a ride into the city of Bodrum in search of a peaceful breakfast — and maybe a few nuts. As usual, nothing goes quite according to plan. A holiday short story.
