From the mouth of Pegs

While eating "tarte Tatin", an apple pie cooked with the fruit side on the bottom of the pan and the crust on top, then served with the fruit side up:

Pegs:
You know, they say that tarte Tatin was invented by accident, but it's not true. The Tatin sisters invented the recipe.
Me: You mean the Tatin brothers.
Pegs: No, the Tatin sisters.
Me (mockingly): That's impossible. Women never invented anything.
(Long pause while Pegs looks at me without blinking)
Pegs: I'm about to invent a new way to slap you.
