How do you like them apples?

(this has nothing to do with any iThing, because I continue to exist in an iOS-free environment)

So, hey, fall is officially here, october is happening, and the world is exploding in an orgiastic celebration of pumpkin-spiced everything.

y'all are some sick, sick fucks. pumpkin is just blander, stringier squash, and the only thing people are going into these rapturous squeals over is the shit that's applied to pumpkin to make it palatable as a mashed/roasted/pied thing - some confabulation of butter and cinnamon and nutmeg and allspice and what-the-fuck-ever.

I don't honestly know what the blend is, because I don't care for it, and can thus give those fucks elsewhere (like how best to season and roast pumpkin seeds, for instance).

seriously. take a bite of some raw and unseasoned pumpkin flesh and tell me that it's the sort of thing you want in your coffee, or beer, or snow cones, or whatever.

(i continue to dislike any cooked orange vegetable; i enjoy raw carrots, but squash and pumpkins are over there next to beets in my Do Not Want pile; i make a poor autumn harvest vegetable appreciator... so, yes, that's more for the rest of you. pass the apples and venison.)

I am not a huge fan of Pumpkin Everything, although the pumpkin juice they sell at the Harry Potter theme park is pretty tasty. But I like that spice mixture. And a savory pumpkin or butternut squash soup, with onions and sage and thyme, makes me happy.

I also love sweet potatoes. And carrots roasted in olive oil.
