We've been married 30 years and sometime, very early on, he asked for his birthday supper to be fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn on the cob and pumpkin pie for dessert. He has never had a cake. He likes his pumpkin pie to be very spicy, so feel free to adjust the spice amounts. This is very special to us and I hope you enjoy it also. We think it's excellent.
