Today, Granny and I cooked together; Morgin was not present, so she did it elsewhere. We made Christmas cookie tins. We began by gathering all of the ingredients, and Granny instructed me to combine the wet components while she combined the dry. After that, we needed to add the flour and small scoops to thoroughly combine everything. After that, we had to split the dough evenly into three chunks and place it in the refrigerator for an hour. When the hour was over, we dyed two of the pieces and left one yellow. We had to leave it in the fridge for another half hour after colouring it. We pulled it out after half an hour and rolled it out, but it became too sticky before we could finish, so we put it back in the fridge for another half hour. When we were finished, we rolled it out and put it in the fridge for another hour. After an hour, we stacked it, trimmed the edges, and rolled it. We had to put it in the refrigerator for another hour after we rolled it and smoothed it out. We didn't have to refrigerate it longer after that, so we cut 1/4-inch slices into the cookie dough and baked it. We accidently burned the cookies, but it wasn't too awful because they were still tasty.

Travel
Today I saw items about the Caribbean; I watched ten Caribbean countries to visit, and here are the ten things I saw. The Bahamas embodies everything you imagine when you think of the Caribbean. It is not as densely populated as the Virgin Islands, but it boasts some of the greatest hiking and sightseeing opportunities. The Turks and Caicos Islands feature some of the purest waters, but they are not in America, therefore you will need a passport. Arteaga and Barbuda are autonomous and rich islands for the most affluent. Trinidad & Tobago, it's not so much about the beaches as it is about the economics and socialism. Grenada is well-known for its unique fruits and spices. One of the primary reasons why Jamaica is famous is because of its fondness for fort music and sightseeing. CuraƧao is well-known for its inventing the blue Liquor, and snorkeling is exquisite. Puerto Rico, it is famous for its huge hurricane, but it has slowly build its way back up. Last but not least Aruba, it has exotic places to snorkel, sightsee, hike, and many others, it is one of the favorites in the world.

Cooking
Today we made pumpkin pie. When we got into the kitchen Granny had already made both crusts for us and she told us how to roll it out, when we were done Morgin put hers in a pie pan Granny was teaching us a tip by rolling in the dough on the tool that we used to spread it out and then put it over the pie pan, but it’s stuck to the tool and The dough got ruined. We used the one that was out for a few days and it was all right, then we went on to mixing the insides of the pie and that went smoothly. When Morgin was pouring the mixture into both pie pans I was spreading out the other one because it had cooled down, and it was really tough to spread out. They told me to keep a watch on the last pie because we had taken the other two out and they were cooling and they had to go. But one they got back I forgot about the pie and it was completely black. All the pies tasted good except for the black pie crust.
