As I was enjoying the flavors of fall this morning with Mommy, she with her homemade pumpkin spice latte and me with my plain ol' pumpkin, we got onto the subject of how prevalent pumpkin is this season. Of course I wasn't able to actually see much pumpkin flavored stuff last season as it was rather dark where I was, but I remember mommy getting excited when fall came and she could buy pumpkin coffee creamer and pumpkin butter, etc. But this season...good grief! Pumpkin spice lasagna noodles anyone? Or how about some delicious pumpkin spice salsa? And....wait for it....pumpkin spice PRINGLES. That's right. Pringles. And apparently they will release a white chocolate peppermint chip pringle next month. *Mommy are you ok? Mommy stop gagging it's disturbing me.*
Now of course you still see the old favorites such as pumpkin butter, cream cheese, coffee, creamer, and of course pumpkin pie pop-tarts. But it is very clear that this year they must have had a ridiculously large pumpkin crop resulting in these stranger concoctions. Pumpkin cookies, coffees, butters, chips, salsa, pastas, waffles, cereals, sausages, drinks, milks, cheeses, and the list just goes on. As for me, I shall stick with good old fashioned pumpkin. Plain, simple, and you don't have to wait 9 months for it to come back out again. Try some today slathered all over your face (and the counter-top and the floor and the dog); it allows you to fully experience all the nuances and flavors of the pumpkin.
