@Kyeh Pumpkin bread, bars, cake… Most pumpkin spice advertised stuff is spice only or has just a little bit of pumpkin. Give me thr real pumpkin any day over the pumpkin spice crap.
@yakkoTDI TDI Wow, back from the void just in time for Halloween? I hope you’ll stick around, it’s not the same without your quips. Also I have a new kitty who needs all the head skritches.
@Pony Thanks! The Humane Society called her a torbie, but I don’t know much at all about the fine distinctions of calicos & tortoiseshells & tabbies. I think she kind of looks like a patchwork cat.
@Kyeh Calico has white, tortoiseshell doesn’t. Tabbies are striped, usually grey and black, some with white bibs and/or paws. Dilute just means paler colors. Torbies generally don’t have white, while tabicos do.
@Pony@werehatrack I’ve had 3 orange tabbies, 1 tuxedo, and a smoke tabby, Django, who looked solid black until you brushed back his fur & it was white underneath! So interesting. He had faint stripes in the black as a kitten but they went away. Poppy is my first mixed-up colors cat. I was reading recently about the genetic complexities of cat coloration & it’s so complicated!
If its just pumpkin spice, no. Now pumpkin with pumpkin spice is amazing. There is a difference.
@kjady In pie, yes?

@kjady I agree.
@MarkDaSpark @Chienfou found the pumpkin spice ramen a while back & was kind enough to share it with me, and with @yakkoTDI (who has ghosted us, sadly.)

@Kyeh BOO!

Meet Poppy!
@Kyeh Ohhhh she’s beautiful! I’m trying to remember my cat coloration names- is she a dilute tabico?

@Kyeh @Pony We have a tortimese and a tabico. Noodle and Kitsune, respectively.

@Kyeh @werehatrack I have a beautiful tortie named Kiko. Her mother was a torbie.
@Pony @werehatrack Ahem - where’s your cat tax, as they say in Reddit?
@Kyeh @werehatrack Oops- silly me. This is one of my favorite photos of her.
@Kyeh @Pony
She’s a beauty…
@chienfou @Pony She IS! She also kind of makes me think of an owl.
@chienfou @Kyeh O RLY?
@Kyeh @Pony
Whooo…me?
@chienfou @Pony Yes, Kiko! You, that’s WHOOO!
@chienfou @Kyeh I love how we’ve just turned this into a thread about cats.
@chienfou @Pony I like it too!
No way I’m clicking another Rick Astley video.
@tweezak Could be worse. (Don’t ask.)
@tweezak
awwwww, giving up on him, when HE was Never Gonna Give YOU Up

Also works well in apple pies and French toast.
Pumpkin spice also works in soups and chili and oil.
