It's The Great Pumpkin, Sugar Krystle!

I have been slacking a bit on the blog front. Which, if I am being completely honest, is what I anticipated would happen when I started this blog, but I managed to convince myself otherwise. So for those (small few) who actually read and appreciate my blog, I do apologize for the let down. If you are a first timer, welcome! I will work harder to keep up so that I don't lose you...

I digress...

A few days ago I posted on my Facebook page that I'd had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season from Starbucks. What's funny is, I only posted this because I'd discovered that the previous year I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latter of the season on the exact same day and I thought that was a bit eery but kinda cool. It turned out most people were not so interested in the spooky coincidence and instead were reacting to the fact that I was drinking a seasonal latte that was traditionally for Fall when technically we are in the heart of summer here in the Northwest. It's true, Oregon and Washington has summer from mid-July until the last week of September (first week or two of October sometimes too, if we're lucky)... and that's all we get. So I most definitely understand their dismay at the thought of me cutting it short. However, I can assure you all that my motives were strictly business! I was seeking inspiration for my "Fall Preview of Flavors" *wink*

So in no way am I trying to jip anyone of the remaining days of summer. By all means, take your time! But when you're ready, I have a running list of festive cupcakes on deck the harvest months, beginning with what started this whole uproar in the first place - Pumpkin Spice Latte!

My taste tester happened to not be a fan of coffee and still really liked this one, which for me, is quite the compliment. When you all are ready, you can try it too!
