Today's Topic: 'Tis the season . . . .

. . . . and I know this may be contentious, but - ‘tis the season for all things pumpkin spice!

What say you, yes or no? Are you diving into anything dusted with pumpkin spice, or is it “talk to the hand!”? Are there some pumpkin things you’ll do, and some you don’t?

    This is that rare place where I exercise moderations. For me, pumpkin is pumpkin pie and not much more. I may try a pumpkin-enhanced beer as part of a flight, but I’ve rarely four one that merited a full pint. No pumpkin lattes or cappuccinos or whatever.

    Of course, my wife's default gift is pumpkin bread - but that’s year-round for us.

    Not a huge pumpkin fan. I mean i like it well enough, but it just doesn’t tempt me. In the fall I prefer apples, especially apples and cinnamon.

    I'm just a pie guy. Sometimes I'll make it sans crust.

    I like pumpkin flavor quite a bit, but I don't especially go out of my way for it. 🎃

    On a related note, I'm seriously thinking about making some kaddo (Afghan pumpkin with yogurt and tomato sauces).

    I am not a pumpkin spice person, per se. I loved the pumpkin scones at Starbucks; but, they dropped them for some reason I do not understand. I like the pies. I do NOT drink pumpkin flavored drinks. But, I don't drink a lot of flavored coffees, anyway. Occasionally, but rarely.

    Bleh, I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice generally, and I really don't like seeing it where it doesn't belong, like in beer!

    Pumpkin pie. 9 1/2 yrs of meetings. I drew up that paper plate every way I could think of but the only way to get pumpkin pie (well, my idea of pumpkin pie) to fit was to organize my entire week around it. After a couple of goes I decided it wasn’t worth it & just quit tracking Thanksgiving. Never hurt me.

    And my idea of pumpkin pie is a generous slice barely visible under the whipped cream.
