Pumpkin Spice Pancakes & Pet Peeves

It's still October! And Pumpkin Spice Month -- so why not Pumpkin Spice Pancakes?

So -- it's time for my October Pet Peeve: Christmas magazines have been arriving. So far, I've got FOUR of them and I am not going to look at them until at LEAST the day after Thanksgiving. Of course, by then, the Valentine's Day theme will be hot and heavy. Grrrrr.

Do you have an October Pet Peeve?

What's with this pumpkin spice thing?

Hey, it's pumpkin spice time! Um...I'm not into pumpkin spice. I have tasted pumpkin pie, but didn't like it. (Tried more than once, so you've gotta give me that.) Never had a latte, let alone a pumpkin spice one. Never had a pumpkin spice cookie, muffin, cupcake, or meat pie.

I like the idea of pumpkin spice, but can't think of anything that would entice me to eat/drink it.

What do you think the whole pumpkin spice thing?
