Number 2 in the Pie World

"While pumpkin pie was not present at the first Thanksgiving, it was by the time of the American Revolution. The predecessor to the modern American pie was made by colonists that cut the tops off pumpkins, removed the seeds, added milk, honey and spices to the interior of the pumpkin, and roasted it over a fire. It was not until 1796 that the first written version of a recipe for a pumpkin pie similar to today's version was recorded. Since that time, pumpkin pie has evolved and become easier to make with the introduction of canned pumpkin in the early twentieth century."

Pumpkin pie is now the 2nd most popular pie, ranking close behind apple. This time of year brings that delicious smell of pumpkin spice baked in a pie, a roll or even cookies. It's the smell that makes you think of family and food and parades and football and .....

Take this time to reflect and be thankful for all that you DO have. There are many folks out there without family or friends to share that yummy pumpkin pie with. We are very thankful for all our amazing staff, our hard-working installers and our loyal customers.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!
