For some odd reason, I have not been able to get my hand on some pumpkin pie for about the last three years. I never used to care much for it, that nutmeg flavour really didn't jive with my tastebuds but as it always happens, the foods you hate as a kid suddenly get tastier with age (that or your tastebuds have all been killed off.). So in an attempt not to miss out this year I went to the store and bought two - one for myself and roomie, and another to take to my family's tonight for dinner. I went to one store near my apartment first, but they didn't have whip cream so I wasn't going to waste my time with the pie if they don't have anything to top it with. Just like how I can't eat my pancakes without syrup, I cannot eat pumpkin pie without the whip cream; and it can't be just any kind of whip/whipped cream, it has to be the CANNED 'whoooooooooosh' kind, not the frozen 'Cool Whip' edible-oil-product(or in other words trans fat)-in-a-tub stuff, nor the liquid cream in the carton that needs sugar added and a good beating - it has to have a nozzle and it has to make a noise. It is the only way to eat pumpkin pie. And I would prefer it be chilled ahead of time, thank you very much.
I blame my mother for this pie insanity.
What's up with this new canned chocolate whip cream? I'm all for chocolate in any way, shape, form and wrapper, and heck I will probably end up with a can of this whip cream in my hand, but what is it FOR? Oh I know, it's for the lonely Saturday nights watching movie marathons without Schmoe. * sigh. When he's here I'm sure I will find other uses.
This year I will not be having turkey - no, in fact I am having both Thanksgiving dinners with Scottish folk so there will only be roast beast, smashed tatties, turneeps and peas and Yorkshire pudding with gravy - oh and now, there shall be the heralded Pumpkin Pie. Bring on the whip cream!
whoooooooossshh!

Is it so horrible that all I can think of is whip-its? Yes, I think it is.
other uses for the whip cream? Please, Heather... lol. I should've brought you to my family dinner, my aunt made this wicked pumpkin/cheese cake. I'm not a pumpkin-pier myself, but she converted me... I've seen the light!!
