I love most pumpkin spice items. Some stuff just doesn't work tho. One such thing is pumpkin spice bark.

My third of you count the one at Dunkin Donuts. I was sort of looking for electrical outlets which I never found today. Thank goodness for battery packs. I usually drink coffee at home. A large French press carafe will usually last me all day. I don't mind reheated coffee. I take it black no sugar. I don't switch it up, except for some ice coffee in mid summer. I don't mind what other people drink but I wish the marketing guys wouldn't push the seasons. They changed the boarding gate here at the bus terminal. And they've covered all the electrical outlets. Such is life. I'll be home soon. Shalom Reds.

The lattes are the only thing I like from Star Bucks. I can't stand their regular coffee, but I don't go crazy over the pumpkin spice. I enjoy it, but only a few a season. However, orange tinted white chocolate Halloween Kit Kats, well, there's a seasonal treat that make me very happy.

I like pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread well enough, and lots of other cultures use pumpkin in recipes just like any other squash. It's quite bland. It's the spices that are the problem.

I think public art adds a nice touch.<br /><br />And pumpkin? Okay, I like pies, and I'll try the muffins and bread, but no to the coffee. I don't drink coffee anyway, unless it's loaded with sugar and milk and someone is threatening me. I mostly drink tea, and I don't like flavored teas--all that berry and peach and mango stuff. Blech! I might occasionally go for a "pumpkin spice" candle. Also--fun fact!--a tablespoon of pumpkin puree (straight out of the can) is a great way to help your dog stop the messier byproducts of lower intestinal upsets.

One fall when she was coming home from college for Thanksgiving she asked me if we could make pizzas with pumpkin. Sure, I was game. So we made three types: pumpkin with basil and mozzarella, pumpkin with roasted pecans and maybe sundried tomatoes (it was a long time ago now, she's 34), and pumpkin with caramelized onions and goat cheese. The last one was pretty good, but the pumpkin, she was disappointed to realize, was very bland. It was fun dreaming them up, though. <br /><br />Don't you love public art in places like airports? It makes them all unique, instead of just nondescript hallways between terminals.
