Mother's Day

Recently I have tried to make a pie. Well actually by recently I mean today. It's for my mom and grandma tommarow because they like lemon meringue pie. Well let me tell you I have seen my mom make this pie a million times! It is so much harder than it looks! First you have to start by making the lemon center. Well let me tell you it seemed like a breeze, until I was informed I had not cooked the middle enough on the stove. So I put it back on the stove brought it to a boil and started cooking it some more. Then I found out I had cooked the lemony good center too much. Yes that is right. I had just carmelized the middle of my lemon meringue pie! I was unaware of this fact until after I had put the lemon center into the pie. Well you also have to make a meringue for the top. Which isn't as hard, but at the same time I had a slight fail at this. Well you see we don't own an electric mixer anymore, we just have one of those large kitchen aid mixers. I thought that there wasn't enough meringue stuff for the big bowl. So I got a small bowl and put it up to the mixer. Bad idea kids! Bad bad bad idea! My arms hurt so bad! My fingers got hit by the beater! I got a few small cuts on my hand! Not a good idea! So then I was told that I could indeed use the big bowl for this task. Luckly there is no way you can mess up pre made pie crust! All I have left to do is bake the pie. Wish me luck! I don't want to mess this up too!

I guess what I'm trying to do here is say I know I can't do everything thing, heck I probably can't do half of what my mom does! I can try but like you see above I still need her help. No matter how old I get or no matter where I end up I'm always going to need my mom. Weither I need advice for cooking or need someone to help me move or anything, I know she'll always be there for me. I know that tommarow when she takes a bite out of the pie I made she'll say it tastes good, even though I'm pretty sure it's going to taste like lemony carmel with some whipped cream on top. My grandma will probably do the same too. I gotta say I've got two of the best ladies in my life!

All in all my final word in this blog is I love you mom and grandma! I'm so lucky to have you in my life! Now everyone else go spend tommarow with your mom and let her know how lucky you are to have her!
