It’s Pumpkin Time Bitches!!!
September 7th, 2009 by Price
You can tell it’s Halloween season when everything Pumpkin flavored/spiced/colored magically appears on store shelves near you.
Quick segue: I will never use the term Fall or Autumn ever again to describe the months of late August, September, October, and even the first part of November. It’s Halloween Season. I am currently working on a proposal to have this officially changed anywhere and everywhere, so if anyone is a lawyer or would like to simply start a petition to rally the troops, I would be forever indebted to you.
Anyways, I am already quite fond of all things pumpkin flavored (like beer), so having this extra pumpkin influence around only enhances the craving. Consider this a warning; this will be the first of several pumpkin-themed posts.
Recently, I had the pleasure of trying 2 delicious in season pumpkin things. First up were the Hershey’s Pumpkin kisses.
These were so delicious that I decided to take the bag to bed with me after a particularly boozy Friday night. The orange color doesn’t come out of white bed linens so easily BTW.
And what’s better than coffee to kickstart a hangover recovery session? A pumpkin spiced latte from your favorite coffeeopoly Starbucks:
I’m not a large fan of my drinks being too super sweet, but this one is spot on. Being an NYC resident, I hate to support the big boys when so many great independent shops exist, but I have to give it to them; they have the recipe down.
Whether you like either of these things, you have to admit that the scent of pumpkin is in the air, and that can only mean Halloween is getting near. Bring on the darkness.
