The holidays, already?

It's hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner, especially given the exceptionally warm fall we've had in Denver. Mid-70's at the end of October? Weird. Not that I'm complaining though.

Anyway, we hit Bonnie Brae Ice Cream with some friends last night, and I had a generous scoop of their Pumpkin Pecan. It was fantastic - the wonderful flavor of pumpkin pie with all the spices - but better, without that custardy texture that so many folks (myself excluded) find so unappealing. It was just the thing to get me in the mood for fall and the upcoming holiday season.
