Tuesday Things.
1. See that? It’s a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CONE! Know what? It was just kind of… meh. I didn’t love it. I prefer regular old sugar or waffle cones. True life.
2. Since it’s Tuesday I think we need a cotton candy old fashioned. What what.
3. Important question: why do BLTs hurt my mouth? Like the roof of my mouth. Is it the toast plus the bacon? Whyyyyy.
4. Is it just me or is the pumpkin spice latte late this year? I mean, I’m not complaining – I’m just shocked. The past few years hasn’t it been released at the end of August? Does this mean the universe will stop pushing ahead seasons and holidays?!
5. (But I totally am excited for a few pumpkin beers if only because I have a fun list of recipes. Oops.)
6. The trouble with social media. Hate to love it.
7. Okay so I’m soooooorta into Fear the Walking Dead but not like the regular Walking Dead. It’s almost like a little too real life or something?! Why am I still too embarrassed to say that I watch DVRed episodes of Mistresses? I haven’t been watching much of anything else lately. Um, in other words I’ve just been watching a lot of Dawson’s Creek reruns. (dork.)
8. Perhaps the best post on networking? All the tips.
9. What are you making for a Labor Day picnic? Is this your end of summer? Was your end of summer two weeks ago? Is it not until the real end of summer? Tell me how you do this thing.

Oops this published early! i was going to say I have some insight on the PSL delay… its because Labor Day is later than usual and coffee shops prefer to have their Fall promotions when it REALLY feels like Fall. AKA after Labor Day.
I THOUGHT THE BLT THING WAS JUST ME. IT ALWAYS SCRATCHES UP THE TOP OF MY MOUTH. so glad I’m not alone. but I still love them because… bacon.
Any sandwich that I eat that is toasted does that to my mouth! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
So the first episode of FtWD was the worst – so draggy and boring but this week’s picked up and I liked it so much more. It was super interesting and stuff happened and it was cool seeing how the whole zombie thing got started. I totally predicted last week the stuff with the principal (who I lovingly referred to as Barack Obama) and I want to help Tobias with his knife skillz. I hope he survives – him and his fake acne to make him look younger. Oh and re: ice cream cones? Waffle cones always disappoint me. Give me a nice sugar cone and I’m good.
For one BBQ I’m just bringing popsicles since we will be coming straight from a beach day and it’s something quick to just pick up from the market.
For the other party I’m bringing ziti with lemon zest, feta and basil. It’s one of my fave summer dishes.
My end of summer is not until the real end of summer. I hold on to every last day, hour, minute and second i could. I LOVE summer!! Fall is cool as far as the fashion aspect because I like being able to wear my cute blazers/jackets and boots ;)
I may have have a Labor day BBQ and ask everyone to bring something since I’ve already hosted four BBQ’s this season already.
Yes, I saw a news piece about how the PSL isn’t coming out until after Labor Day this year instead of late August. I’m hoping this is a new trend of keeping seasons in their place too.
Um, I thought Fear the Walking Dead was going to be lame sauce. Nay. I think I cringed and almost had a heart attack in nearly every scene. It seriously feels like it could happen real life style in 2.2 seconds. I am hooked. Also, I need that cotton candy old fashioned in my life.
That cone looks awesome, so sad it was a disappointment.
I watch Mistresses, too! Partially because I don’t have cable…so my options are limited, but also because it’s mindless TV…I can ‘watch’ it while doing other things. I occasionally cringe at how tacky the show is, but other times I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed an episode.
1. the BLTs are definitely the toast + crunchy bacon. kills me every time too. avocado helps a little.
2. do not let mistresses embarrass you! it’s my guilty pleasure. and i somehow got my husband hooked on it too.
I haven’t had a chocolate chip cookie cone yet, but I feel like it might just be too much food. Cones are supposed to be kind of light and airy, right?
Checking out your other links as I’m sure they’ll be awesome!
Hey, any sandwich with toasted bread cuts up the roof of my mouth!Isn’t this just a standard sandwich thing? Not to mention a great reason to use a bun or ciabatta instead of standard bread. So good.
That ice cream cone has now become one of my new life goals. It looks AMAZING.
Labor isn’t so much the end of summer for me as it is the Beginning. Of. Football. Season. Clearly, I cannot wait. The South is still pretty hot right now, so there’s also that. I really cannot tell myself that summer is almost over while sweating to death at a 3:00 football game in Nashville Saturday.
Speaking of BLTs, I made an awesome one a couple of weeks ago with homemade sweet potato biscuits. They were really awesome.
BLTs always hurt my mouth too, I think it’s just the fact that it’s a sandwich made with toast that’s the problem. WORTH IT. Might have a BLT tonight ;)

Don’t be embarrassed by watching mistresses!! It’s so soapy and over-the-top but super addictive once you start. Gotta see what hot mess Karen gets herself into every week.
I hate PSL and am so happy it’s not in stores yet. August is not fall, Starbucks (don’t worry, I totally love you, but lets keep up this seasonal appropriateness).
Always make BLTs with very lightly or non toasted bread; I love the squish of fresh sourdough and it serves as a good cushion to not tear up my palate.
Labour Day – bite-size caprese salad with charred corn (cause, duh) and that’s all I know for sure because it’s the best thing ever.
You must not have been following the PSL drama. :) It’s been all over the news here. But basically Starbucks announced that they are removing all fake artificial flavors out of their PSL and making it with real pumpkin this year. Some locations have had it as a test (and apparently the look/taste are no different), but the nationwide release was delayed til September 8 because it’s still being perfected. One more week!
Omg BLTs hurt my mouth too!! But they are SOOOO good, it’s totally worth it. YUM.
Also, pumpkin beers are amazing, but if you can get your hands on The Bruery’s Autumn Maple, DO IT. It’s a sweet cinnamon, maple, yam beer that can NOT be beat this time of year. I’ve been aging one from last year and I’m trying so hard to be patient. Nom.
It is late this year, I think I heard Starbucks is releasing the pumpkin spice latte September 8. It actually made the news ?
I couldn’t figure it out ,why was it sore on the roof of my mouth? I didn’t have hot pizza. So why?
You have solved my mystery ..The BLT…….i just have to toast it less
,but I won’t give up the crunchy thick bacon,no way!
For my BLTs I’ve started toasting my bread on just one side and putting the toasted side in the middle. You still get the crunch without tearing up your mouth!
Still summer in the South- but football season starts Saturday, so tailgating!!!
That cotton candy old fashioned looks amazing!

That’s exactly why BLTs hurt my mouth!!!
Our end of summer blast is actually celebrated in October when my kiddos have their fall P/T conferences. We go to our cabin for the weekend (it get closed in Nov for the season). We watch the salmon run, ride four wheelers up the mountain for a picnic, make caramel apples and dinner-in-a-pumpkin, and watch movies (Young Frankenstein, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Fido). It’s always so much fun and a great way to say goodbye to the summer.
I LOVE Mistresses! I’m not sure if they could make Karen’s life any more ridiculous, but love the show anyway. Really miss Alyssa Milano tho.
Our neighbor is hosting a big party on Labor Day, so although we aren’t supposed to bring anything, I suppose I should think up something to carry over. Gah!
It’s true! I regularly stay away from a BLT due to the pain that ensues, despite them being so, so delicious.
i refuse for it to be the end of summer ! plus its like 90 here for the next week so it totally isnt. i hate that fall stuff is out now. it just feels weird like we are always looking to the next thing ! as for labor day i plan to spend saturday doing errands (super ugh) but sunday swimming and eating…and monday relaxing at home and catching up on tv. some work and some fun ! HOW do you eat things like that ice cream cone and not be the size of the a bus ? you are so cute and small but i imagine you are eating all this good food on your blog. maybe you are one of those crazy people who eats the portions u r supposed to eat vs the monster portions i think are normal now ?
I love BLT’s and eat them for breakfast probably three times a month at least. But they kill my mouth. I was totally nodding my head reading your post. WHY!!
I also love Dawson’s Creek but am currently watching reruns of Charmed. HA!
mistresses is my guilty pleasure too. i can’t wait to watch the next episode, is anyone else nervous for joss?
Eddie’s snaps were so hilarious during your Dawson Creek re-run binge. I tried to watch Mistresses last season. I could not do it!!!
