Is it safe to come out yet? Is Pumpkin Spice-everything season over?

Or to I have to wait until after Thanksgiving?



Sorry, I'm a Pumpkin-Spice refusnik.

Now, Peppermint-flavored everything? That's more my speed!

1. I used to love a coffee blended by New Orleans Community Coffee: Pumpkin Pecan Praline

It did not taste like pumpkin nor pumpkin spice at all but had a warm nutty flavor. Of course, they discontinued it in favor of the more Starbucks-like pumpkin spice bleh.

Yeah, it is too much.

3. Shopping at Trader Joe's in the autumn is decidedly less fun.

All their featured products are pumpkin this and pumpkin that.

All the other seasons feature interesting things to try, but I do a hard pass on pumpkin pancakes.



Maybe it's because growing up I was always forced to eat my jack-o-lanterns after Halloween was over.

4. I don't think I saw nearly as much pumpkin spice stuff, this year. BTW, not a fan, either.

The stench actually turns my stomach. Now, Peppermint??? LOVE it. Baskin Robbins used to make a peppermint fudge ice cream with a ribbon of fudge - not those candy chunks in ice cream, now, and it was amazing.
