When poor Mrs. Pig gets a cold, Mr. Pig and the piglets devise a plan to get rid of her sniffles. The Pigs decide on the perfect remedy: to fix Mrs. Pig's favorite five alarm chili. Will the Pigs be able to cure Mrs. Pig with a spicy meal? Or will their measuring mistakes get them in hot water? Join the Pigs and see what trouble they can cook up in the kitchen. |
“"Now for the spices," said Mr. Pig. "Let's see, the recipe calls for a dash of paprika, two thirds of a cup of salt, and a cup and a half of pepper."”
