Tap Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It's my time of year for pumpkin! I love it, but for some reason I only have it at Thanksgiving. It has to be served with Cool Whip, the bad whip cream, unfortunately. Something great about that combination. LOL...I only eat fresh whipped cream and I have become known in my family as the whipped cream snob. LOL If I am at a family event, I am always asked to bring the whipped cream and I always wonder, when I show up with it, if they all just sigh a little, and figure they will have to 'settle' for fresh instead. :lol: I have told every one that they are free to use what ever they want, I don't care what they eat...but they always 'say' they prefer mine but don't want to do the work themselves....but I secretly wonder if it is true. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Pumpkin and chocolate chip/pecan (Cracker Barrel).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Definitely pumpkin with real whipped cream. Dh's family all mock me because since I married in, I've taken over the pie baking. 1) because I'm good at it and 2) because I'm a whipped cream snob and always make it myself. Before I came they only used Cool Whip.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Pumpkin. My brother's birthday falls on or around Thanksgiving, and he always requested a pumpkin pie instead of a cake. Now that he's gone, I always have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving to celebrate his birthday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Double Layer Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving. For any other day of the year, I would prefer mud pie, cherry pie ala mode, chocolate cream pie, or Boston cream pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Pecan is my favorite, but I also love pumpkin and dutch apple. I'm the pie maker at Thanksgiving. I love making pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way about real whipped cream. I hosted a wedding shower a while back and the bride to be wanted strawberry shortcake. I was supposed to supply the "squirt type whipped cream". I think I must have looked totally shocked because the lady-in-charge asked if I would prefer something else. I told her that I usually use the real stuff to which she replied, "Really? I've never learned how to make that myself". This lady is a professional cake decorator!:001_huh: You wouldn't believe how many women crowded around my Kitchenaid as I whipped up the cream. It was put into a decorating bag and nicely piped onto the dessert :D I thought everyone knew how to make whipped cream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what else is fun...the canister thing that you add the cream and a bit of sugar and then use one of those catridges. I bought my uncle one of those one Christmas and we put whipped cream on EVERYTHING that entire vacation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh I just always do it the old fashioned way - or would that be putting it in a jar and shaking it?;) I'm going to have to look up that canister thingy because my ds#1 at college really misses the real stuff.

Tammyla Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I like them all, but it wouldn't feel like Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. We love pumpkin pie here. In fact if I try to make them early I'll have to make more because they will disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Pecan Pie!!! That is the definition of a successful Thanksgiving to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I love any kind of pie! But I make a couple of special pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My sister gave me a Pumpkin Chiffon Pie recipe that is fabulous and we like the Millionaire Pie (ala Furr's Cafeteria fame) as well. Typically we have 5 or 6 different pies for each holiday. Ohhhh - I forgot about Millionaire Pie! We don't have a Furr's here. What am I going to do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
