I Love Everything Pumpkin-flavored

NOT! I actually like most pumpkin things, BUT... The pumpkin spice explosion has already started. I鈥檝e spotted pumpkin spice coffee, assorted baked goods, soooooo many strong scented candles and room sprays, etc. I am weary of it already. But for those of you who live to pumpkify your fall season, I give you this: 馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸馃巸

If there is one thing the commercial world is good at - it鈥檚 overkill.

When I was a kid - (Yes, children, there WAS refrigeration) - we mostly ate things in season. Strawberries were brief - but they were the real article.

Maybe it was partly the novelty but if you鈥檝e never picked corn on the cob yourself and husked it and eaten it right away - you don鈥檛 really know what corn on the cob tastes like.

@Kathburglar Awesome. Have an ear for me. In season, we had meals that were ONLY corn on the cob. Or strawberry shortcake. Or green fried tomatoes ...

@Kathburglar Me too. Now I鈥檓 all awash in food homesickness. At least you鈥檝e got fresh corn. 馃槬

@Mamapolo2016 So true about corn on the cob. You've got to run from the field to the pot before the sugar in it turns to starch.
