Accidentally doubled the salt in my pie crust, and it somehow worked

I was making an apple pie and totally misread the recipe. Instead of two teaspoons of salt for the crust, I put in two tablespoons by mistake. After baking, the salty crust actually paired really well with the sweet apple filling. Everyone at the table asked for seconds, so I guess it was a happy accident.

Weird how that happens, right. I once way over-salted my pasta water on autopilot and the sauce just... worked better? I still don't get it.

Three shakes of salt fixed my bland sauce yesterday.

My dad's chili recipe once got a whole jar of cayenne, @west.rowan.

Ever read about capsaicin's effect on flavor?
