Making a Pumpkin Pie with Grandma

Okay, honey, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Let's make the pie!

Great! This is my first pumpkin pie!

First, we need pumpkin, eggs, sugar, and milk.

And the spices, right? Cinnamon and ginger?

Yes! You remembered. Your mom loved those spices too.

Now, open the can and put the pumpkin in the bowl.

Okay. Wow, it's so orange and soft!

Good. Next, add two eggs and the sugar.

Two eggs, and one cup of sugar. Done!

Now mix it slowly. Don't hurry, honey.

Hmm, can I taste it? Just a little?

Wait... why is it so salty?

Salty? Oh no. Show me that jar, please.

Oh, honey. This is the salt, not the sugar.

Oh no... I'm so sorry, Grandma.

Ugh, the two jars look the same!

Don't worry. We have one more can of pumpkin.

Let's start again. It's easy!

You know, I made the same mistake once.

Really? You? When was that?

It was fifty years ago, in my mother's kitchen.

She just laughed and laughed. Then we made another one!

Wow, I love that story, Grandma.

Now, the pie goes in the oven for one hour.

This time, I'll set the timer. No more mistakes.

Wow, it smells so good! Is it ready?

Yes, it's ready. Look at that beautiful color!

Can we eat a piece now? Please?

Ha, no! It's for tomorrow, honey.

Okay, okay. Next year, I'll make it for everyone!
