Having already espoused my love for the Fall season, it might come as no surprise to any of you (that would be all two of you if nobody else subscribes) that I have a love for pumpkin flavored....everything! Pumpkin spice beer, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin pie, pumpkin loaf....you name it; if it has pumpkin in it, I'll try it and probably like it.
I don't know what it is about the flavor, maybe it's because the pumpkin is the characteristic Fall vegetable (it is a vegetable, right), or maybe its that the flavor compliments so many different types of food from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner. I don't know. All I do know is that when Fall comes around, and the pumpkin flavored foods start hitting the shelves, I can't get enough. I feel like I could eat pumpkin all year long and be a very happy person.
So when
@ejacqui mentioned that there were "...Twitter rumors that the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is already back..." it was all I could do not to run down to Starbucks (which is literally ten feet from the office) and further drain my bank account on that magical fall elixir.

My wife and mother in law find the whole thing incredibly amusing, but I endure the ribbing because it usually means there is a pumpkin roll waiting for me every weekend that we decide to visit my wife's parents. Sadly, I discovered that the rumors were probably only located in one area. Starbucks held a contest to decide which city would start serving the pumpkin spice latte a whole week earlier than all other locations, which did not turn out to be Washington, DC.
Sigh...
I'll have to wait another week, just like everyone else.
