Autumn

Fall is here. Today the temperature only reached around 100 degrees in Mesa. It was muzzy outside, and my allergies were fierce. I baked pumpkin spice cookies from a packaged mix. Sometimes I spite myself and do something dumb, like stack all the baked cookies on top of one another even though they are still hot, and then they glump together. However, that simply gives me an excuse to eat the casualties. So I did that, as well as imbibe two different pumpkin beers. The first one, from Blue Moon, had a bit of spicy scent, but no actual pumpkin taste. The other one, Lakefront Pumpkin Lager, was a bit spicier and "pumpkiny-er". Also had some Trader Joe's sweet potato gnocchi. Delicious.
