COFFEE TALK

November 10, 2017 Plate Fete
{Pedantic Foodie}

It's Friday, let's get down to it.  How many Chestnut Praline Lattes have you consumed this week and how many extra pumps can you request before the shame sets in?  Asking for a friend...

I am most definitely in Christmas mode, I am past all subtlety.  On Monday I went to Target for three things, none of which were Christmas-related, but left with the above situation.  Mr. Pedantic had the gall to ask if we needed more Christmas decorations.  My response is "do you need more happiness?" 

I have heard about a certain school of thought which claims that those of us who begin celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving skip over the celebration of Thanksgiving.  Not so with me.  Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday.  I just get all the joy of anticipating Christmas and all the best food at the same time. 

Let's talk about cleaning products for a hot minute.  Right now, I use the method all-purpose cleaner on all my countertops, but I have been anxious to try these seasonal multi-surface sprays for months.  I have been eyeing them ever since Jessica mentioned her infatuation with them, and you know I am a sucker for anything seasonally-scented.  Have you tried them?  I am going to pick up a bottle of this peppermint spray for Christmastime, so if you find me licking my countertops, you know why. 

I loved this little tour of Joy's home. Anything that feeds my innate nosiness is a win. 

Mr. Pedantic just got one of these little speakers and we love it so much.  We/I have been using it for everything, even when I am just catching up on instagram stories.  I think it would make such a fantastic Christmas gift. 

I am secretly hoping to run across some of this dessert hummus at a holiday party, you know, so I can try it without the shame of walking it through the check-out line. 

It has been so chilly here in the mornings and I am trying to find my morning jam.  I have been playing around with a spiced tea but it's a little too wintry for me right now so the search continues...  Of course, this latte is always a good idea.  In other news, I need a new pair of slippers and these little fluffy foot havens are on my radar. 

I love this idea!  I am determined to make sour lemon citrus peels to hand out to friends and neighbors this year.  

Have you been keeping up with Jessica's Friendsgiving menu?  Everything sounds so amazing. 

I really want to pull off an off-the-shoulder sweater this Thanksgiving and I am kind of loving this one.  So impractical, but, then again, I'm not hosting. 

November is already scooting by far too quickly and I find myself grappling with the calendar as I try to cling to these wonderful moments.  This weekend, I am hoping to move slowly and intentionally. I hope you do the same.  Happy Friday! 

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
