I can just picture this dog doing this and it's cracking me up! It's so human. Did she help herself to a Michelob?
Soooooo........pumpkin spice everything.
Love it or hate it?
@polarberry Love Pumpkin spice. Does that involve nutmeg? Just asking.
Before bed, I like to heat up milk (lactose free) and grate some nutmeg into it, sometimes a touch of cinnamon, and a dash of maple syrup.
I threw together ingredients spontaneously the other night and now I have to share it because it was so good.
I had a whole fresh skinned cod (in Boston we call it Scrod).
- I chopped and sautéed a couple of large yellow and/or orange sweet bell peppers and, sprinkling them with salt and pepper, laid them at the bottom of a fish baking dish.
- Then I popped the scrod on top of that, after smearing some garlic olive oil all around it, and sprinkling it with salt, paprika for color (because it has no flavor), and some dried lemon thyme from my garden (or tarragon, rosemary, parsley or any of many garden spices) .
- Then I topped it with a generous amount of GF bread crumbs followed by a pile of parmigiana shavings, bits of butter, some extra chopped peppers, and lots of fresh ground pepper. I also tossed some hot red pepper flakes for umpah.
Popped it into a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes and then...incredible meal.
If I weren't allergic to them, I'd also add sautéed onions and garlic to that bottom layer. The dish was orgasmic with a mixed green salad topped with favorite vinaigrette, (I like fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard and a maple syrup).
The photo is before I popped it into the oven and all that butter and cheese melted.
Tagging @lauraf in case she has something to add.
It does. ? You know that country song that says, I was country when country wasn't cool? I loved pumpkin anything before it became wildly popular. I do draw the line at Pumpkin Spice Spam.
Still love pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake. And I always sprinkle nutmeg on my eggnog.
paprika for color (because it has no flavor),
It does have a flavor, but it's so light and delicate that it gets overpowered very easily. I have a friend who swears he can taste it though, and he will not anything where it's an ingredient.
If I weren't allergic to them, I'd also add sautéed onions and garlic to that bottom layer.
If I were (or became) allergic to garlic and/or onions, I think I would simply crawl in a hole a die. ? Along with the rest of the allium family, those are my go-to spices.
@jeanne-mayell ❤️ I do this too! Nutmeg has sedative properties that help you fall asleep ..alleviate insomnia, as well as many other health benefits☺️

I like it in drinks though if any of you asks me in person about it I'll deny that vehemently. When it comes to pumpkin spice season, this tall, stocky Get X man turns into a short and plucky Millennial Woman.
Otherwise not a pumpkin fan overall. Every Thanksgiving a glut of pumpkin pies show up. Everyone in my wife's family always says "Oh Pumpkin is my favorite pie!" There's usually one pecan pie in the mix (my absolute favorite). Most of them say things like "Yeah, not a fan of Pecan" but as soon as it's time for desert, if I don't elbow everyone out of the way the Pecan Pie is gone and all that's left are a glut of pumpkin pies.
And yes I've tried the whipped cream trick where you just slather it in whipped cream, eat it, and hope for the best.
Cold, wet, slimy, and not delicious.
