The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Ryujin]

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some pumpkin spice and spike that stuff into all my cookings. That shizznit is going to taste so seasonal. I’m about to head over to all the Wegmans right now to buy all their pumpkin spice, and get me some of their pumpkin spice baked goods, too, so I can have something to tide me over while I drive home. When I get some guests to come over for the Thanksgiving holiday it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my pumpkin spiced turkey, jerkfaces. Guess what season it is — frakkin' fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of flavor town.

I may even throw some of that pumpkin spice into my coffee, all haphazard like a crisp October breeze just blew through and messed that stuff up. Then I’m going to get to work on making some pumpkin spiced muffins all for myself. People are going to be like, “Aren’t those muffins too spicy? Do you really think you can eat all 6 dozen of those muffins” And I’m just going shove another four of those tasty muffins into my pie-hole and quietly reply, “It’s fall, jerkfaces. You’re either ready to reap this freaky-azzed harvest or you’re not.”

Carving orange pumpkins sounds like a pretty fitting way to ring in the season. You know what else does? Putting those pumpkins in everything I own. We’re not just talking the food, either. I’m going to start dusting myself with pumpkin spice. That’s right- I’m gonna start smelling like Linus’s pumpkin patch. Well, this just got real, didn’t it? Peanuts holiday specials and pumpkin spice have one very important commonality: they’re both extremely frakkin' important for this holiday season.

The next thing I’m going to do is carve one of the bigger pumpkins into a perfect replica of the Mayflower as a shout-out to our Pilgrim forefathers. Then I’m going to do lines of pumpkin spice off its hull with a rolled-up $100. Why? Because it’s not summer, it’s not winter, and it’s not spring. Grab a calendar and pull your friggin' heads out of your azzes; it’s fall, jerkfaces. Pumpkin spice time.

Have you ever been in an Italian deli with salamis hanging from their ceiling? Well then you’re going to abso-friggin'-lutely love my house this fall. Just look where you’re walking or you’ll get KO’d by a hanging pumpkin, or overwhelmed by the sweet odor of pumpkin spice that permeates my house like it’s a Starbucks employee on the pumpkin spice latte conveyor of joy. Consider yourself warned.

Welcome to Pumpkin Spice Season, jerkfaces!

In my memory Wegmans (when I have been up near Princeton a few time for a couple months each) >> Publix (that we have as the only remaining high end store down here). I might only be picturing the beer selection though.

It's only Monday morning, and it's still summer. So I was scoring pretty high so far on this year's Pumpkin Spice Innocence Index... right up until this:

[... stuff ...] I’m gonna start smelling like Linus’s pumpkin patch. [... more stuff ...]

I just can't even begin to start beginning to even at this.

It is better to be feared than loved.
-Mama Snarf, definitely.

I got you, dawg.

KetoNickName's Pumpkin Pie
1 frozen gluten-free pie crust (9").
1 can (15oz) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup erythritol powder or 1 teaspoon stevia powder, more or less to taste
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice, more or less to taste
1/2 tsp. sea salt, more or less to taste
1 tsp. vanilla paste
2 eggs, beaten

First, blind-bake the crust.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the inside of the frozen pie crust with foil, fill it with rice or beans (or any other pie weight), and blind-bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until the edges start to take on a little bit of color. Remove from the oven, remove the foil and pie weights, and let the crust cool.

Next, make the custard.
Turn the oven down to 325°F. Combine the pumpkin, cream, sweetener, spice, salt, and vanilla. Taste it for seasoning and sweetness, add more spice and sweetener if needed, then stir in the beaten eggs. (I use a blender for this. Super easy, and it has that handy pour spout, but you can just use a bowl and spoon like a normal person.) Pour the custard into the cooled pie shell, and bake for 45-60 minutes or until just barely set. Cool completely, and then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Top with sugar-free whipped cream (1/2 cup cream whipped up with stevia/erythritol to taste and a dab of vanilla). Slice and serve.

The ones that I find most problematic are those that somehow try and turn an inability to look beyond their own experience into some sort of rhetorical device. As if the fact that their opponent is unable to force empathy onto someone counts as failing to prove their point.

Its particularly "fun" if you hit someone who will try to suggest that if someone indicates they and people like them actually like the thing the respondent can't imaging someone liking, that they're being disingenuous.

"Nobody actually likes pineapple, you're just saying that to make me look foolish!" Ugh.

My intrusive thoughts are very vocal today, so I think I need to traverse the forum with caution. For everyone else’s sake.

On a totally unrelated note, which class would be the most flammable? Asking for a friend.
