She made it from scratch and there were STRINGS OF ACTUAL PUMPKIN in the cake. I managed to keep it together, but just barely.

While personally, I am a HUGE pumpkin anything fan (anything!!!), I am a super picky eater with very strong aversions to other things (anything vinegar-based, including ketchup, watermelon or sour apple flavoring, onions... I could on...) so I totally get how frustrating it is to have everything everyone else is talking about eating sound icky!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440707097559156626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-46803456435825880302013-11-13T22:03:42.786-06:002013-11-13T22:03:42.786-06:00I will sign that petition! :)I will sign that petition! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700737187405826842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-2241157727318539122013-11-13T22:03:30.042-06:002013-11-13T22:03:30.042-06:00I loved that picture--it was perfect!

Why can't they be as popular? Maybe I'll have to go on campaign.S.P.

(*ah...OMIGOSH, that photo of the kid is priceless! (*ahem*)<br />I like pumpkin. That is, I like homemade pumpkin pie. If I am aware that they are pumpkin muffins, I will eat one or two. The minute they put it in my coffee, my ravioli, my pasta, I am out of there. I do like the pepitas.<br /><br />Not to gross you out, my dear, but they usually use Hubbard squash (the warty, gray-blue skinned one that looks like something from the original Star Trek series). I will agree never to say the word 'pumpkin' to you if you will promise never to serve me meatloaf. <br />Diana at <a href="http://dianawilder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">About Myself By Myself</a>Diana Wilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074083771067857127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-587859377556530092013-11-13T11:30:01.113-06:002013-11-13T11:30:01.113-06:00Hmm, I don't mind pumpkins much myself.

Sugar, glucose, fructose, artificial flavours, more sugar, preservatives, a different kind of sugar, gelatin, and corn starch. It's not real, people! It's gross!<br />My two cents :-)Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323118066785311281.post-1280167826966861542013-11-13T08:09:13.217-06:002013-11-13T08:09:13.217-06:00I must confess to being one of those odd people yo...I must confess to being one of those odd people you mentioned- I love pumpkin. Pumpkin doughnuts, Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pies- love it all! And yes, the small makes me mouth water.<br />I cannot imagine how irritating it must be to someone with such a strong aversion to it, though- especially the smell. I walk through the bakery and I smell it- how terrible that that's something you react so negatively to. I'm sorry it's such a downer about the otherwise fantastic season. But look at this way: pretty soon all the pumpkin novelties will be replaced by peppermint for Christmas and then you'll be smelling that everywhere you go! ^_^<br /><br />BTW, guess what arrived in the mail last night?!? I'm going to start snapping pictures like crazy!

I don't mind pumpkin, mostly, but I don't want it in everything I eat and drink. Pie and spice bread and maybe a nice hearty winter soup? Lovely. Coffee, tea, pasta, brownies, etc? No thanks!Liz Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160510626027597666noreply@blogger.com
