There always seems to be one odd incident at my house every Thanksgiving, and this holiday was no exception!
On Turkey Day at about 7 am, my husband, Ron offered to help me make the pumpkin pies to help conserve my hand strength. Thinking about the long day of cooking ahead, I decided to let him help (he usually isn't allowed in the kitchen)! So he was stirring the stuff in the big bowl while I was dumping stuff into it. We were actually laughing and having fun.
Now, first of all you must understand that I make GOOD pumpkin pie. So I was really surprised, a couple of hours later, when I sneaked a taste of one of the four beautiful pies and almost spit it out! The pie was terrible!! I wracked my brains and couldn't figure out what in the world had gone wrong, when it hit me - in the craziness, I had left out the SUGAR!!!!! EWWWW!!!!!!
So Ron and I had a real good laugh over it. We decided to let our 17-year-old son John, who is a First Class Pumpkin Pie Demolisher, try the pie without saying anything about our little error.
Now it got pretty funny when John tried the pie and didn't say ONE word. I kept waiting for him to say something, but he never did!
Then it got even funnier when Ron walked by him and winked at me as he said, "Gee, honey, your pies really stink!" Now I was in on the joke so I wasn't mad, of course.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, John got really mad at Ron. It wasn't until about an hour later when John came and told me, "Mom, I wasn't mad at Dad about what you thought. I was mad because he put down your PIES. I mean, you don't put down Mom's pies on Thanksgiving day!!"
Well, I about laughed my fanny off and told John the whole sad story.
Tomorrow I am making my boys some new pies... by myself, with a list!!!
