A few of my favorite things

It's fall, or autumn, whichever you prefer.  Do you capitalize your seasons like they do in German?  Some do because they think it is correct.  It is technically not capitalized in English, but it does look better as Autumn, doesn't it?

Anyhoo!  It is time for the fall/autumnal version of regular items.  All the breweries are making their winter/fall/holiday versions of their beers and ales.  Yay!  Does anyone remember Coors Winterfest?  o.m.g. that was such a great beer!  Can I find it here?  Nope.  Do I know if Coors still makes it?  Nope.

But I do know that Hershey's has brought back the Pumpkin Spice Kisses!  Score!

Have you had these?  They are like little bits of pumpkin spicey cheesecake goodness.  Get some.  And be sure you get a second bag to get you through to Thanksgiving.

While I was at the store scanning the Hershey Kisses I saw these:

However good you think these might be, well, they are a million times better.

Those almonds are delicious.  I am thinking that as good as they are all by themselves, they might be excellent in some brittle or other candy recipe.  Maybe chopped up and put into some fudge?  Maybe tossed in a fall/autumnal salad with some roasted squash or beets?

What about sprinkled on top of some ice cream?  Or cheese cake?  Or ground up and mixed into a graham cracker crust with a pumpkin cheesecake filling?  (I am trying it both ways to see if cheese cake looks better as one word or two.)

What I am saying about the nuts is . . . . . Get some.

You're welcome!
