You know what time of year it is when the pumpkin varieties of absolutely everything become available. Pumpkin soap? Pumpkin aerosol air freshener? Pumpkin flavor trees that hang from your rear-view mirror? Enough!

Wait. Oh! pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. PSL for short as some refer to it as. But you hear someone utter that and it makes you want to punch them in the mouth. Late September and pumpkin items were debuting already? Come on! Way too early. Let the leaves change color and fall a bit before any of that stuff is available for purchase.

But if you do want a PSL, no blame-throwing, won’t tell anyone, but no no no don’t get it at The Bucks. Make your own at home. No, really. Simple & easy, and will make your joint smell amazing. Need inspiration? This man does it right. Give it a watch. It’s educational and entertaining. Then create your own, good on ya. I’ve been making mine using this recipe and it’s completely excellent-delicious-homygod-gimme-more.

What says Autumnal Season Change as well as a specific coffee beverage? Perhaps pumpkin soap-on-a-rope. But the PSL is tastier.
