While normally I love pumpkin stuff, I bought a box of these:



and they are totally gross and taste like potpourri.


I saw online yesterday that they have pumpkin pie Pop Tarts. I want them really bad but I hear they may be hard to find. They're on amazon, but they're really overpriced, so that's a last resort.

I really dislike most of the eggnog sold in stores. My family always bought boiled custard and then added the spices and bourbon.

Do ABC stores have pre-boozed eggnog? My friend brought me some last year that I thought would be gross but it was surprisingly good. He may have gotten it from elsewhere though. I want to try making it this year sometime.

11/17/2010 11:57:17 AM

meh, i prefer to keep the booze out of the eggnog and just use it as a chaser

11/17/2010 12:06:54 PM

I prefer to have egg nog and alcohol on totally separate instances, because egg nog is so good that it doesn't need to be marred by anything. I'd drink egg nog all day every day if it wouldn't kill me.

I had some pumpkin egg nog this year, didn't like it much. Pumpkin spice and egg nog are two flavors that I love dearly, but not when you put them together.

When I was a kid we'd shove candy canes into oranges and drink the orange through the candy cane. Did anyone else do this?

12/7/2010 1:10:59 PM

i have no idea how that'd work

12/7/2010 1:51:25 PM

also, skwinkle...

Buying eggnog with liqour already added is a big no no in the Famous household. One, thats only 15 percent, mere child's play. Two, its Evan Williams, a college kid's alcohol. Three, it takes all the fun out of it. Two thumbs down.

Isn't peppermint + orange like the worst combination ever? Why would you do that?

Also, ^^ is the kind I had but not sure if NC ABC stores actually have it. And I could look it up but I think if I have any this year it'll be homemade.

12/7/2010 2:03:58 PM

anyone tried these? I got a box but haven't opened them up yet.

12/7/2010 2:04:31 PM

Target has something called "holiday milk". It's like 280 calories per 8 fluid ounce serving. I don't know if I want to try it. I think it's made out of diabeetus.

The candy cane has small holes in it so you can use it like a straw.

haha I remember as a kid liking it but granted it's been years. It might taste disgusting to me now

That reminds me- I need to go pick up some trader Joe's brand unibroue winter beer. I stocked up last year and actually still have one bottle left. Nom nom nom

So I am not a fan of persimmons. No thanks.

I am grateful for pomegranates.

12/7/2010 7:21:04 PM

I miss these in the summer.

it is surprisingly satisfying, and i'm getting my christmas cookie fix for the time being

This just in, that Jello is fucking delicious.

12/7/2010 11:35:40 PM

Will have to try some. It sounds right up my alley.

Last year I was crazy about pumpkin flavored things, but this year I seem to only like pumpkin things that are made with pureed pumpkin (bread, dip, etc.) and nothing that's just pumpkin flavoring (coffee and the like). No idea why. I think gingerbread has taken over my taste buds this year. The gingerbread coffee at Dunkin' is amazing.

I meant to post this earlier.
