Kindergarten is a weird place, guys.
I was reminded of this yesterday when a licensed physician flipped my eyelids out. On purpose.
(Ewwwwwww.)
And then when I came thisclose to puking all over his expensive eye exam equipment was like, “Oh, you didn’t do this when you were five?”
Uh, no. Obviously not.
Are you guys as confused as I am.
Where are we? How did we get here?
AND FOR THE LOVE OF COOKIE SEASON why the HECK is there a dessert here on Wednesday?!?!?!?
Two of my favorite things in this world are pumpkins and babies.
It should come as no surprise then that I treat my winter squashes with the kind of care and affection that I intend to someday devote to my future children…minus the eating part. Although, actually…I make no promises that I won’t ever lightly nibble on a chubby cherubic baby leg when it comes into my possession, but really who could blame me.
Anyways, my point being that when I was trying to decide what to make to celebrate the fact that the super sweet Rachel of The Avid Appetite is having a baby girl (!!!!), going pumpkin was a no-brainer.
And sandwiching some maple-marshmallow cream filling in-between some soft pumpkin cookie layers was a given.
I’m so not one to point any fingers, but you know what does not make my salivary glands work overtime?
Butternut squash soup that is so pumpkin pie spice- and brown sugar-infused that you’re fairly certain you should top it with whipped cream and a dusting of graham cracker crumbs and call it “after dinner snack number one”.
Not that that sounds bad, but truth be told…I’d rather just have pie.
Diamonds may be forever (as I so subtly mentioned to the The.Boy. yesterday…by which I mean I screamed it loudly on a subway car full of people…but whatever).
But pomegranates are a girl’s best friend.
All cute and shiny and vibrantly red…,if I could string them on a necklace and wear them as an edible Christmas accessory…I would. I so would.
Houston, we have a problem.
It’s really no big deal.
Not a cause for concern.
{Deep breaths.}
It’s just…
…my boyfriend’s taste buds may have been invaded by aliens. (And by “may have”…I mean “really. this is happening”.)
