Desserts

There’s something about fall that makes me crave desserts. Apples are ripe so pie is almost compulsory. But then there are pumpkins all over the place and I love THAT pie too. (Well, there aren’t really very many pies I DON’T love, are there?) And the cooler weather makes me want to bake – cookies, cinnamon buns, brownies. We’ve been eating bananas lately and there are always some that go too long – and banana cupcakes are the logical result. And then there is banana pudding, but don’t even get me started! Baking smells are just so ‘right’ in the fall.

Little Debbie Cakes are also big in the fall. They make a pumpkin-filled soft cookie that Mark can’t resist; and fall is when their orange cakes are available too. Yep, nothing like a Little Debbie Cake.

And then there is Halloween candy. You have to buy it early or there is nothing left in the stores. Of course, when you buy it early, there is a chance that there will be nothing left for the Trick or Treaters then either!

How did I get so hung up on sweets?

PS – the floor didn’t get finished yesterday. My Russians are back this morning. They seemed surprised that I even expected them to be done in one day and patiently explained that THIS kind of floor CAN’T be done that quickly. They had no idea why their company said it COULD be done – in writing on their contract. Oh well. Too bad.
