I am thankful for pumpkin pie! It is one of my top three pies for sure. It must be served COLD! Why do I stress that?
When I married, I married into a warm pumpkin pie family. I'll never forget that first Thanksgiving at my mother-in-law's. I had been looking so forward to a nice cold piece of pumpkin pie with a dab of whipped cream on the top. The perfect ending to a perfect meal! I bit into my pie, totally unsuspecting the hot mush that enter my mouth. I almost spat it out over the whole table. Who in their right mind would serve pumpkin pie warm? I didn't think that. I said it out loud. They all looked at me like I was crazy. We always have it that way I heard their disembodied voices say. I excused myself and stuck my warm pie into the freezer and then after regaining my senses, apologized.
Since that Thanksgiving we now have a warm pie and a cold pie. I have converted some of the in-laws to my side, but some still are holding out. I will continue to preach the importance of a nice cold piece of pie and someday all pumpkin pies will be chilled before they are served, so help me God!

Cold is the only way to go. Glad you started to lay the groundwork @ the Thanksgiving get-togethers before I became family.
