Today I decided to make a pumpkin pie and I have to admit I am not much of a baker and I can prove it...

I bought a can of pumpkin pie mix and a can of carnation evaporated milk.

On the can of pumpkin pie it gave the directions, 2 large eggs beaten and mix with pie mix and carnation milk then poor in pie pan.

Preheat oven to 425 for 15 minutes then lower to 350...should take 50 to 60 minutes to cook

So yes here is where my non baking skills come in...

I preheated the oven for "15 minutes" at 425 then turned it down to 350 and then put the pie in the oven...

Needless to say my husband who is a baker (for real) is dying to tell someone this story...


Why would they want me to preheat for 15 minutes only to turn it down and why did I not understand this...duh


P.S. I can make a mean bowl of chip and dip!!
