The
pumpkin spice trend is hotter than ever. After shopping at gourmet grocers in Houston and snapping photos of
pumpkin biscotti, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice seeds, pumpkin granola bark, pumpkin
soup crackers and actual pumpkins, I put the camera away.
I brought
home pumpkin spice coffee and a wee pumpkin for decor.
Did you realize
that to be totally on trend, you will be feeding pumpkin to your dog this season?
I spotted
a box of pumpkin dog treats. That was the day after I saw a Rachel Ray magazine
spread on feeding fresh or canned pumpkin to your dogs.
It's a thing.
What else to
dogs get? In Houston's Central Market I was near the grind-your-own nut butter
station. As I was considering whether to splurge on the calories and money for
almond butter for my breakfast toast, a couple was discussing what sort of
specially nut butters they would get to trick their dog into taking his pills.
As usual for the
past several years, I invite readers to send me pumpkin updates this fall.
Here’s
my tip: Keep a shaker full of pumpkin spice to sprinkle on toast, into coffee
and swirl into oatmeal. Keep it handy just for a whiff of fall flavor.
Also,
you can still send me your contact if you would like to be in the pot for
a 2018 Farmer's Almanac. Email me by Oct. 13 and I will share the issues that
the makers sent to me, while supplies last.
Happy
harvest!
