Monthly Musings

 

I always say I love summer, and that’s true, but then September rolls around and I remember that this is a pretty great time of year. The weather is fabulous and there seem to be a lot of fun events happening right now. 

1. Apple or pumpkin pie?

I’ll take both please!

2. Favourite fall recipe.

I like to make French Onion Soup at least once in the fall. It is a real treat. I make Julia Child’s recipe, I shared that recipe back in 2015.

3. Do you decorate for fall?

Yes, I have a few items that I put out during the house. I usually get them out for Thanksgiving (the second weekend of October here in Canada).

4. Pumpkin spice latte or apple cider?

They are both fine but I don’t drink either of them much.

5. Favourite thing to bake in fall?

I like to make those aforementioned pies, and I usually get a can of regular pumpkin for a loaf or muffins. 

6. Do you like fall scented home products such as candles and cleaning products?

Not really. I have a couple of scented candles, but they aren’t “fall” themed, nor do I burn them very often. 

7. Name a fall food that people love that you don’t.

I like all of the fall foods. I’m not as into everything pumpkin spiced as other people seem to be though. 

8. Candy corn - yes or blech?

Not sure I’ve ever had a piece, but I don’t think I’m missing out.

9. When do you decorate for Halloween?

Mid-October I will put out the few things that we have. Pumpkins aren’t purchased until a few days before and carved the night before. 

10. Do you use mums, pumpkins, or other fun things?

Mums, a small hanging skeleton, ghosts, and a few carved pumpkins.  We do not go all out for this holiday, but I love seeing what other people do!
