Open Topic... Anything Pumpkin Spice

[CallMeKate]

I had my first pumpkin anything of the year while out this morning... Pumpkin Spice Latte. Love it or hate it, 'tis the season. I thought it would be fun to see what ya'll come up with for the topic "pumpkin spice." Here's my contribution. (But I wouldn't advise using cc... a lot of it is totally messed up!)

No, I haven't tried this... it was a limited edition a few years ago. Anyone try it? Not sure if it was only that one year or not.

Way overdone. All the life has long ago been sucked out of pumpkin spice.

Spoil sport. Just kidding. Can't ya just play along and contribute? It's been much too gloomy around here lately. Want a Pumpkin Spam sandwich?

Oooh, that sounds nice! I haven't tried that yet... I know there's Pumpkin Spice butter that would probably be great with French toast and pancakes, too.

The only pumpkin spice knockoff I enjoy is
Dannon light and fit pumpkin pie flavored Greek yogurt, the apple pie knockoff is good too.

They are both good options for an old pie deprived diabetic.

@CallMeKate Don't make me show up at your door! Pumpkin Spice was fine for a while, but it has taken over and now dominates my favorite season, Drop...so-called because it's when leaves drop off the trees.

I'll take apple anything/everything. TYVM. Apple. Cinnamon. Just leave the pumpkin alone until it's time for pie after Thanksgiving Dinner.

I had my first pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks this week. Honestly, was not impressed.

I'm not a Starbucks fan... mine this morning was just a cold latte from McD's (I don't like hot flavored coffee at *all*) and it hit the spot just fine. And $2 instead of $6 or whatever SB is charging now.

Last year about this time, someone started a topic about Pumpkin Spice.

I usually love anything pumpkin. Several years ago, I got a stomach ache after eating so much Edy's pumpkin ice cream. It was so good and tasted more like sweet potato pie to me. I love the pumpkin bread sold at Starbuck's (but hate their coffee). I just bought Great Value (Walmart brand) pumpkin oatmeal. It's okay but could be more pumpkin-y.

I loved Nuovo pumpkin ravioli that used to be sold at Costco. I had it wish Hollandaise sauce. I even called the company but found they were not shipping to individuals, just retailers and finding it in Whole Foods, as was suggested, didn't pan out. Kirkland (Costco brand) does sell a very good pumpkin pie. The only pumpkin thing I had that I didn't like was a Dunkin Donut pumpkin filled donut. The filling was disgusting so I threw most of it away. Maybe I'll go to DD and see if they have pumpkin muffins this fall.

Nooooo! A fate worse than death! Have you even a remote idea how much Spam we had to eat during the War?

Pumpkin spice and Spam have both been done to death. Let's let 'em rest in peace

Not surprising since tomorrow's September, eh? Who knows, maybe it was me. I get excited about fall.

That was me! Pumpkin spice is vastly overrated.

They'd just darned well better keep their paws off apple and apple/cinnamon. Oh, and caramel/apple.

 

[Georgiagranny]

I get excited about fall.

I can't emphasize this enough! It's Drop, not fall. Drop. When the leaves drop off the trees.

You know...the same season as the one that celebrates apple stuff

 

[Pinky]

I do enjoy Starbuck's pumpkin spice latte at this time of year.

Okay, okay... maybe I could get used to that. But I've worked on genealogy for decades, and when I see that, I think of when people had dropsy and that's called edema today. Word association... yeah, I'm weird... I own it.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@CallMeKate Drop. Dropsy. Not the same. I bet your Rorschach test results would be, um, interesting.

You do realize that this pumpkin spice is a hill I'm willing to die on, right? That goes for Spam, too.

pumpkin spice face masks - blech

Now see? Apples drop and leaves fall. That's why autumn is called fall. Apples don't have a season named for them.

I'm beginning to see that! For the record, I don't especially like the "spice" part... like the pumpkin part much more, but they so often come together, I put up with it.
