Fridge or No Fridge

[readyin07]

I just picked up 2 cherry pies for my son's kindergarten pie tasting Tuesday. Pies have to be brought to school Monday though. Google tells me if it isn't going to be eaten in a day it should go in the fridge. But I have no idea if they will be in a fridge at school so I am leaning towards leaving them out rather than risking them being room temp then cold then room temp again. Thoughts?

You just bought them today? I wouldn't bother refrigerating them now if there is no fridge at the school and you have to take them in tomorrow.

Uh, they've been sitting out for a week, and you're debating putting them in the fridge now to extend their life? What are they made of?

ETA: I'm seriously hoping I misunderstood and you're talking about tomorrow and Tuesday. In which case, yes, you should refrigerate them. 

Yes you misunderstood. The pie tasting is Tuesday as I said and he has to bring then in tomorrow, which is Monday. I guess even if she has a fridge available it would be ok to leave them out and she can do whatever with them tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most places leave pies at room temp. It's only going to be out another day before it's served.

Well, that was needlessly bitchy. The OP was very clear. Whereas the first sentence was a bit vague about whether she bought them last Tuesday or the pie tasting was this Tuesday, the next sentence made it clear Tuesday was in contrast to tomorrow, and thus, there was only one logical reading of the post. And you went back, reread the post, realized that, and still didn't apologize for accusing her of sending in stale pie.

This is going on the spreadsheet.

I would leave them out.
