Things from the week…

The Starbucks’ pumpkin cream cold brew is great. I swapped the pumpkin spice for cinnamon dolce sprinkles (and removed the vanilla syrup and added espresso!) and it was perfect.

Pumpkin spice options from La Columbe and Perfect Bar. Not great – a note to October 2024 Emily: stop buying these every year, the coffee tastes like nothing and the bar is too spiced.

Pumpkin beer season is off to a great start – Left Hand pumpkin spice latte nitro ale (8.5/10) / Southern Tier caramel pumpking imperial ale (9.5/10).

Still loving these chile and garlic cashews as a snack. P.S. That lurking dog had some teeth pulled this week and came through like a champ.

Giant breakfast burrito, aka my favorite item from Roast. With avocado, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sauteed peppers and hot sauce aioli; plus I added sliced turkey.

Chickpeas sauteed with harissa, diced tomato, onions, and bell pepper. Plus roasted cauliflower, Bitchin sauce, and a six-minute egg.

3x protein, 3x spice bowls. Cottage cheese with chili cashews, Sriracha cucumber salad, and soy marinated eggs.

Congee. Made with brown rice and chicken broth and topped with marinated egg, sauteed turkey with cilantro and garlic, and collard greens with rice vinegar, ginger, and scallion.

P.S. As of this morning I am on vacation through the next weekend!!
