The dessert was fresh-baked gingerbread topped with whipped cream. All the theater people were standing around in back of the hall where the dinner theater was about to commence when a lovely-smelling pan of gingerbread emerged from the kitchen and was placed on the picnic table we were all leaning on to cool in the chilly evening air. As we continued talking, nobody noticed one of the camp's cats who was looking for a warm place to rest her bones for the night. You guessed it...she jumped into the center of the towel-covered confection and began to knit her paws and make her bed. We all turned and yelled at the same time and the disgruntled creature retreated. The camp owner sadly examined her pan of rather squished gingerbread underneath the towel, proceeded to cut it into pieces, cover the dents with whipped cream and load it onto serving trays!

We had fourteen guests for Thanksgiving dinner - and served everyone large slices of pumpkin pie generously heaped with fresh whipping cream - whether they wanted it on not! Our guests raved about desert - my friend was known for his pies. Keeping a perfectly straight face while serving said pie is absolutely imperative to the enjoyment of the pie. That and just taking the compliments and keep one's mouth shut! To this day none of our guests have ever been told. Our cat ate the center out of three pumpkin pies one Thanksgiving.

Doesn't matter that she invades the table, counter, etc. to reach the cup of liquid or the solid food!!! :eating: Emma (my cat) just knocks things on the floor with her paw if she wants them on “her” territory.
