Yea that’s the thing with the yeti ice tray, the cubes are bigger than normal. The giant ice ball thing seems cool, which is why I was interested in this tray.

…and I buy all the yeti shit

These are li'l balls, not giant ones.
This is almost exactly what I got, except my trays are cream-colored.

Where are we at with pecan pie? It’s always looked like way too much sweetness for me but I recently had a bit of a pecan pie BAR and it was pretty tasty. So now I’m researching recipes and while corn syrup seems to be the sweetener of choice for most recipes, I found one with honey, but I wonder if that will make it taste like baklava.

Even though I don't like pecans, I like the pie part, so I just don't eat the pecans.
I can't imagine a pecan pie made with honey - or at least it would need to be called something else.
That may have to do with being from a certain part of the country, though.
 
You all need to get hip to whiskey stones.

Whisky Stones®

Whisky Stones, designed and manufactured in the USA by Teroforma
whiskystones.com whiskystones.com

We invented Whisky Stones - the first stone beverage cubes - back in 2007. It started with a simple but revolutionary observation: ice ruins cask-aged spirits. Rapid cooling with ice down to ~38F "shocks" the spirit, causing the wood oils carefully aged into the spirit to fall out of solution with the alcohol, disrupting the intended flavor. What is needed is a gentler chill that more closely mimics the cool 50F temperatures in Scotland while allowing the full aromas and flavors to breath and be enjoyed as intended. We decided to use Soapstone - a soft, non-porous, non-reactive stone with a tradition of craftsmanship in the United States dating back to the 1700s. To this day, our stones are still crafted at the oldest soapstone mill in the US ~ and Whisky Stones are enjoyed around the world as an indispensable addition to the sophisticated bar.

That kinda sounds like the recipes I’ve been searching…it’s like a shortbread crust with the pecan filling over the top, then cut in squares. the crust to filling ration seems a little more manageable than the regular pies. My BIL likes pecan pie so maybe I’ll test it on him.

OMG YAAASSSSS, shortbread crust. This one went up the sides as well like a regular pie. Called for Crisco AND butter

I've heard of those and it's a cool idea, but this whole "shocks the spirit" is complete BS. Just like when they tried to tell me that shaking the martini "bruises the Gin..."

Sometimes a splash of water opens up the flavor of a good whiskey, why would ice be bad for it?

Pretentiousness.

"Whiskey stones" are pretty much like pet rocks, except for adults.
Except at least kids didn't put their pet rocks in their drinks (unless they were trying to drown their pet rocks, or something, which would have been at least a little disturbing).
 
If people can make money charging you for rocks you can put in a drink, I salute them for channeling H.L. Menken.
