sour-cream-lemonmy specialty, sour cream lemon pie

when shane first had thanksgiving dinner at my family’s house i didn’t think much of it. the menu consisted of the usual, sage dressing from the red and white plaid cookbook, turkey, cranberry sauce from a can (now i make homemade), corn, salad (anyone else but me vote salad off the thanksgiving table island for being completely unnecessary?), homemade rolls and a vast assortment of fruit and pumpkin pies.

it wasn’t until later he mentioned–not by way of complaint but as an observation–that there hadn’t been any cream pies.

cream pies?

what is this cream pie of which you speak?

as i later spent thanksgiving at his house i discovered what had been missing. at his house cream pies were on the menu and there was a shocking lack of fruit pies.

and so i serve both.

so, here’s a little thanksgiving day debate for ya’ll today about your preference in pies.

fruit or cream?

and, in the spirit of the day, if you’d like to mention three things for which you give thanks on this day, please do.

happy thanksgiving!
