Having gone to do "errands" aka shopping aka buying stuff, decided to pick up some groceries. I didn't know we were doing errands until Karen said we were. The recurring theme of "new" and "limited edition" was in full effect yet again. Will I ever not be a sucker for that stuff? Mostly like not. If you haven't been aware its been Pumpkin Spice season for just about everything. While at Target came across this. In case you're keeping tabs under Archer Farms it states *Limited Edition*.

| Pumpkin Spice Snack Bites |
Pretty sure I never got into the pumpkin spice crazy before but figured this was something Karen would like. This was a oatmeal cookie with pumpkin seeds and a little frosting/yogurt. Don't remember how much I paid for them but Karen was not a fan of them. That's okay cause me and Lily enjoyed them and finished them off. I think they were more trail mix like than cookie overall. Not really sure what constitutes "pumpkin spice" flavor as pretty much was just pumpkins seeds. Does that meet the criteria? I turn over the judgment to the experts. All that being said I would buy them again. Maybe one day I'll learn what "pumpkin spice" is suppose to be like.
The other thing I came across was from good ol' Aunt Jemima. They say do what you know and that lady knows pancakes...well in this instance breakfast food. Every time I see the logo/box for one of their products I instantly think of Tracy Morgan's skit on SNL (back when it was actually hilarious) of Uncle Jemima's Done Home Mash Liquor. "SHUT UP WOMAN!" As I was perusing the frozen section of the grocery store I ran across this item.

| Aunt Jemima Apple & Cinnamon Griddle Poppers |
Do I even have to point out the "NEW!" on the packaging. It seem pretty interesting when I looked over the box. Health wise? 7 of those poppers (which I keep fighting the urge to type poopers) was 180 calories. Overall verdict? They were pretty good. Clearly they are made mostly for kids or grown ass men who still act like children. Don't really remember the cost of them but I think they were fairly reasonable. On the positive note Karen actually enjoyed these too.
The last newbie was actually a gift from Tina who recently went on a world tour or just a trip to the West Coast. Same difference? Anyway not sure if she's going to write about all that. As part of her adventure she picked up this a gift for yours truly...well I assumed it was for me but you never know could have been for Karen...who loves spicy things...almost...never...yeah I'm 99.8% certain this was for me.

| Harry & David Ghost Pepper Relish |
I'm not quite sure what my expectations where when I opened it. Maybe that it would be super hot? I mean based on all the youtube videos of folks losing their minds, crying, throwing up, and chugging milk I think that was a reasonable expectation. This did not meet those expectations- which is a good thing I suppose as I don't need to be an internet sensation. Actually pretty sweet and tasty. Not sure if I just missed all the ghost peppers or what but I didn't find it that spicy. I mean I'll have to dig more into it. Actually wasn't quite sure how you typically eat this type of relish? I just put it on a cracker. Definitely tasty and will have to look up recipes/ways to eat it.
