For my first Thanksgiving at our new home five years ago, I decided that I would make my grandmother's recipe for pumpkin pie. I was excited to make everything from scratch. Well, I was so proud of myself—the pies came out so yummy and sweet! But little did I know that I had put in way too much Karo syrup. I didn't know that Karo syrup acts like a laxative! It was a good thing we have four bathrooms in our house. Everyone was regular that Thanksgiving, thanks to me. I no longer make pumpkin pies from scratch for fear of making everyone sick again! —hehmommy
