Winter’s coming, winter’s coming. There’s a chill in the air, a snap in the wind, a bite in the morning dew-turned-frost. Can’t you feel it? Winter’s coming!

For all of Mother Nature’s blustering, though, the surest sign that FSMas is round the corner comes not from the cold weather, but from the grocer’s cold storage section:

Silk Nog! And Pumpkin Spice! Happy holidays, my long lost friends! My, how I’ve missed you.

Shane and I did some Halloween shopping on Saturday, and on a whim, I peeked in the big box store’s “dairy” section. (We were just round the corner, picking up some booze and chips. *shrug*) Lo and behold, one lone row of Silk Soy Nog! Even though yesterday was a wonderfully warm fall day, I knew then that winter wouldn’t be far behind.

Tonight we’re supposed to get our first frost.

Tomorrow I’m sending Shane to Wild Oats to pick up some Pumpkin Spice.

Maybe later this week I’ll make some Spicy Three Bean Soup.

Yup, it’s that time of the year.

So, tell me veg*ns: you’re stuck on an Arctic island, and you can only have one case of Silk. Which do you choose: Soy Nog or Pumpkin Spice?
