Yep, I'm one of those pumpkin fans ~ pumpkin spice coffee creamer, pumpkin butter, pumpkin bread, etc. A few weeks ago we had pumpkin spice creamer at our after church luncheon. Very popular except for a few people, who are disgusted by the very thought. It's rather like cilantro. Ya either love it or hate it. For me, it tastes like soap and is truly disgusting.
What do you think about the use of QR codes ~ for practically everything. I like it when I'm forced to sign in again to a streaming service I've already signed in to (why, oh why?). I'm annoyed when products I purchase equipment that comes without any printed pages on how to put it together and use it. Yeah, yeah, I know it saves paper. 😛
Now that the mosquitoes have moved out, now we have an influx of flies. So Romeo buys a fly trap to put outside. But ever since he put it out there, I would get a wiff of something disgusting. After a week, I determined the smell is coming from the fly trap and moved it so it would be away from the back door. It does work though, there were a couple of inches of fly corpses in the bottle. I moved the fly trap closer to our fence, so that our neighbors ~ who never pick up the dog shit in their yard ~ can enjoy the scent of decaying flies. Bwa ha ha. Who knows, maybe they won't even notice.
I have been so busy. Working two afternoons a week at festival baking (which is almost over!!! YAY), baking bread for us and to give away. Trying to make progress on the quilt for my youngest son. I also need to sew a small dress for a doll that a friend asked me to do. **Never have ever made doll clothes, so this ought to be fun. Then house cleaning and laundry and keeping up with tending the garden (which I do enjoy, except for picking off those ugly tomato worms).
Otherwise, all is moving along. We're working on training our little terrorists to walk without pulling and to stop growling at dogs they don't like. Oh, and to sit when people want to pet or give them treats. It takes a lot of work to make sure they have manners! They are so much fun though...I was laughing out loud at Zoē doing zoomies in the backyard. She's so much fun and such a pain in the ass at the same time! Lol
Have an excellent weekend!
Love, 365
Not sure about pumpkin spiced in coffee (is that really what it is?), but live pumpkin everything else. I use loads in cakes and muffins and cut the sugar to virtually nothing (which I hope is better for my 'becoming diabetic' OH.)
ReplyDeleteIt's a coffee creamer in that flavor, not putting the spice in the coffee. Don't you love pumpkin bread? I need to make some soon!
DeleteI'm one of the NO THANKS crowd. I don't like the taste and I don't like the smell. Funny, when I was a kid I thought pumpkin pie was the best thing ever. You should start making dog clothes!! You have two life size doglet models!
ReplyDeleteHah, I am not sewing clothes for the dogs! Hmmm, unless it's a halloween costume. That might be fun.
DeleteI haven't any idea of QR codes. They're still not big here but of course the grandkids know all about them and can help out.....whenever.
ReplyDeleteNo pumpkin season either. Good thing because of my 8 pumpkin plants I got no pumpkins. Well squash actually. I'm guessing you are getting ready for Halloween. And Thanksgiving?
And baking bread. You really must be expert at that!! I'm making a 'prosforo' tonight for a service tomorrow. I wonder if the stamp will work this time
How did the prophoro turn out? As far as sourdough goes, most times it's great, sometimes it doesn't! I am not the only one who has problems when the seasons change. It took me awhile to adjust the process when it got hot.
DeleteSo much fun and love and a royal pain in the ass at times is the definition of a dog. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband HATES cilantro. I don't mind it. I made pico and used dried cilantro and it helped me achieve what I was trying to achieve in flavor and he didn't know the difference. So that's my secret now. Compromise of sorts. :-)
It's true that dried cilantro isn't near as pungent as the fresh. Eve n I have used it on occasion.
DeleteWe have been working on the pups, and Zoe is doing better ~ I guess she's figuring it out. Have to stay consistent and keep it up, as we're traveling over Thanksgiving. I don't want my future daughter in law to complain about how unruly our dogs are.
