I finally found Weetbix ( for some reason I thought it was Weetabix) last year. Good stuff!
Yay for making doggie friends!
It's Weetabix in the UK. My hubby has 4 every morning with milk and sugar. Keeps him regular!
I actually looked when I was in the grocery store today and it's Weetabix here too.0 -

In other pumpkin news, we grew our own for the first time, and I have made pumpkin and ginger cake, and toasted pumpkin seeds, and it was not a total disaster. I have plenty of frozen purée left too.
Pumpkin (pie) spice is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. McCormick started putting them all in the same bottle when I was 7 or 8, but my mother made me mix it from her spice shelf for a long time after that. Someone took the pie out and made it into a latte syrup and now it's everywhere in America.
Oh, if you try it at home it's 3 parts cinnamon, 2 parts nutmeg, 1 (or less) cloves. Cloves are strong so try it with less first.
I have cinnamon and nutmeg on my Weetbix (an Australian thing) every morning. Might need to add some cloves to that. Sounds yummy.
Is Weetbix almost like a granola bar you eat with milk?
It's like a huge shredded wheat, isn't it?0 -

It was a money game for our FCS football team and I saw lots of improvement over our play last week so I won't complain. However, I still think our new coach is starting the wrong QB.
Mississippi State played well from the highlights I saw. I was at work during their game.
Good football day for me.
Boise State killed UConn. We play Oklahoma State next Saturday at Oklahoma. That's going to be challenging.
Yep, that will be a challenge.
ETSU starts conference play on the road.1 -

Nope. It is pretty much wheat (like 98% wheat) compressed into a biscuit. You do eat it with milk, or butter and vegemite if you so desire.

But, but, all the evil GLUTENZ!!!
Only for me. Those four weetabix would be enough to put me in hospital for a week or so.2 -

Tim's has an amazing apple cinnamon tart right now. I have been mostly staying away so it does not become a 'situation'

I'm not against pumpkin spice, I just don't understand the hype.
It's amazing!
I already have had bread, tea, pancakes and gum this year and its only the beginning of September!1 -

I have off today & tomorrow & then embark on a nine day in a row work week (Tuesday-next Wednesday).

Throw some of that pumpkin puree into pancakes with some cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice and BAM, homemade pumpkin spice!0 -

It depends. Usually anywhere from 8-12:00 (mostly it depends on when I work/days off).0 -

Maybe adding pumpkin spice to Bud Light would make it taste like something other than water?4 -
Ahh,
You guys are focusing on the things that you would actually put in your mouth.0 -

Only for my whole life. I was probably 40 before I ate watermelon without salt.0 -

Yep. And cantaloupe. And apples.
Learned that from my Grandpa Jack.0 -

Where have you been, Kelly?! I grew up doing this and it makes the watermelon SO MUCH BETTER!!! Mr. Mo puts salt on his apples too. Not brave enough to try that one. I prefer peanut butter.2 -

I've heard of people putting it on apples too, but not canteloupe! I might try it!
I don't know, Mo! I had always heard of it..just never tried it until last night!0 -
Haven't tried the apple one. Like Mo, I prefer peanut butter.2

I'm not a huge cantaloupe fan, but it definitely better with salt!0 -
I have yet to have my first pumpkin spice latte!! That will come once the temperature drops a bit here. We are still in margarita season!
I am able to get Phoebe pumpkin muffins again. She likes those better than coffee cake. I had to switch to coffee cake when DD discontinued the whole wheat muffins. She has a bit of a struggle eating the coffee cake (can be a bit dry). She LOVES pumpkin.2 -

I love pumpkin seeds. I remember when I tried to make them in France for my French mother and I used too much salt. They were pretty awful. She was nice and tried to eat them.

It depends. Usually anywhere from 8-12:00 (mostly it depends on when I work/days off).
And you usually get up at 7:30? Bless you!
I go to bed around midnight and get cranky when I have to be up before 10am lol1 -
