Squash, pumpkins and the tastes of fall!  Donna moves way beyond pumpkin spice mix with an exploration of cinnamons, ginger, anise and a wide variety of tasty spice mixtures. These spices are not just for pumpkin pie. Use them for cakes, cookies, stews, coffee and more.  Lonna shares a poem about Weiners and a recipe for Spicy Paprika Tomato Jam. We end the show with advice for storing fall vegetables.
