    I don't know what pumpkin spice is!

    I'm also indifferent to all kinds of football but hubby is a giants fan so I put up with it. It is not going well!

    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?

    So, Tennessee stomped East Tennessee State worse than I expected today. 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.

    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.

    I like pumpkin stuff, but I don't go crazy and hunt stuff down.

    I finally found Weetbix ( for some reason I thought it was Weetabix) last year. Good stuff!

    Yay for making doggie friends!

    I actually looked when I was in the grocery store today and it's Weetabix here too.

    I was sad when Dunkin Donuts ran out of the new Apple Caramel donut last Saturday. They asked if I wanted anything else. Um no!

    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. :confused:

    It's amazing!
    I already have had bread, tea, pancakes and gum this year and its only the beginning of September!

    I slept in until nine today! I usually never sleep in that late & the latest would generally be 7:30-7:45. I'm thinking my body was exhausted after the two days of volunteering to push carts last week in the blistering heat of 90 degrees & working six days in a row.

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

    What time do you usually go to bed?

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