His mother heard that everyone had pumpkin pie, so she sliced up the pumpkin, added some spice and put on a crust - just like you would make an apple pie! Their family was very puzzled that night, wondering *why in the world* anyone would want to eat this horrible pie!<BR/><BR/>I've made a couple apple pies as a teenager with the skins left on. Blech!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559473.post-1163508095648226942006-11-14T07:41:00.000-05:002006-11-14T07:41:00.000-05:00When a newlywed, I was preparing cake batter when ...When a newlywed, I was preparing cake batter when I discovered I didn't have any eggs. I decided to proceed anyway. I found out why eggs are important--they hold the cake together.

LOL!<BR/><BR/>1) meatballs over rice, one of our favorite meals - we had company invited over for this particular meal, and I forgot to fix the rice! How could that have happened? Since it takes 30 min to cook and everything else was ready...we just went w/o the rice. Very embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>2) This involves rice, too. I can't remember what else I prepared, but I must have read the rice bag serving portions incorrectly and didn't prepare nearly enough rice. It was barely enough to go around and definitely not enough for seconds--and yes, we did have company!!<BR/><BR/>One thing I remember messing up on (having to do with actually cooking the food) was my first turkey; I cooked the giblet bag inside him! Yes, we had invited several young guys from Langley AFB over to eat with us that year, but I don't think they cared!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
