The fine folks at KRUPS  have passed along a couple of fun fall themed coffee recipies. Now I know not everyone likes flavoured coffee or spiced lattes but there are a large portion of people who do. I for one love fall the season, and do try to enjoy a good coffee confection now and then. My favorite part about these different recipes, was that not one used flavored coffee, but all of them turn out tasty.

Fall Pumpkin Latte

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp canned pumpkin
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
• 1 cup milk
• 1/ 1/4 cup espresso

 

Preparation:

In a saucepan, heat milk and pumpkin until steaming. Stir in vanilla and pumpkin spice. Put mixture in a blender, and blend for 15-20 seconds until thick and foamy. Pour into tall glass, add espresso. Top with a sprinkling of ground nutmeg.

Today’s Show: Halloween, Samhain, Pumpkins, Geeks, Freaks and Makeup

Tonight’s episode is hopefully the last show I need to pull this late in the night for a while. Mother Nature and Major League Baseball conspired to extend my season even further.

But Seriously. I’ll post a real tribute in the proper location over at the traveler’s mug when i get a chance, but I am literally beside myself right now. The city is electric and this show will be fantastic. I’m going to be heading to the Parade down Broad Street tomorrow and enjoying every second of it, Plus… Its Halloween!
