Pumpkin Eatin’ Season 2009
Posted on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Today is the big day! It is the season opener of “Pumpkin Eatin’ Season 2009.” Can you feel the excitement in the air . . . wait, that’s not excitement; that’s ash. The sky over Los Angeles is ugly and dirty with a temperature of exceedingly HOT. However, I did leave the office for a quick lunch and walked over to Starbucks. Today is the first day of the seasonal pumpkin latte and the pumpkin frappacino. They are also now stocking the mediocre trio of bakery items: pumpkin cream cheese muffin, the pumpkin scone, and pumpkin loaf. I did order a tall pumpkin spice latté with soy milk. It tastes exactly as mediocre as I remember. Hopefully the 2009 season will bring more exciting pumpkin treats rather than the same old stuff.
To commemorate the kick off of “Pumpkin Eatin’ Season 2009″ I’ve got a first ever Pumpkin Passion’s giveaway. From my blog stats, 90% of you probably found my blog while looking for the Pure Simplicity Pumpkin Mask. While it seems to have been discontinued–it’s a crying shame!– you can still occasionally find it for sale on eBay. I have 1 container left over from my last eBay purchase and I’m offering it to one lucky blog reader. To win it, simply leave a comment telling me 
about me your favorite pumpkin item. The winner will be chosen at random unless there’s a really interesting favorite pumpkin item related comment and then I’ll just choose the winner. You have until September 14, 2009, at midnight PST to leave your comment. Be sure to leave me an email address where you can be contacted. Sorry to any international readers but this is for those in the continental U.S. only. Good Luck!
pumpkin butter!!!
Great giveaway! It’s so hard to choose just one pumpkin favorite. I’m going to have to go with pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, sold at my local health food store. There’s just something amazing about the combination!

Only until Sept. 14? I don’t stand a chance.
I KNOW! My mom’s pumpkin bread is fantastic, it has to be said. Maybe I’ll get the recipe and bake a loaf for you.

I make a curried pumpkin soup that is delightful, if I do say so myself. LOL. Creamy, pumpkin-flavored and exotic curry spices. Garnished with roasted pumpkin seeds, of course, creme fraiche and fresh cilantro.
That’s my entry. I don’t want the mask though. LOL. Lynn might.
