Here's the October calendar:
Monday - red wine poached pear - it doesn't look like we've tried this one before, even though it came up on the calendar back in November 2011. We were wary of it then because we didn't particularly like the Shiraz poached pear flavor, but since this one is returning (which to me means someone must have liked it), maybe we'll give it a shot.
Tuesday - maple bacon banan-za - we tried this back in March. We thought it was OK and interesting, but we didn't love it.
Wednesday - Shackenstein - the first custard we reviewed in our custard series, about two years ago. No one is ever quite sure what is in it, but we liked it.
Thursday - salty chocolate peanut butter - A loved this one and I liked it back in March. It was like a peanut butter cup in custard form.
Friday - caramel apple - a new one for us and we're intrigued!
Saturday - peanut butter marshmallow swirl - we've had peanut butter custards and marshmallow custards but not a peanut butter marshmallow custard before. This one sounds like it could be interesting.
Sunday - pumpkin pie - another one of the first custards we reviewed and one which we think we overrated. We did like it but in our memory it doesn't come close to some of the other highly rated ones like Christmas cookie or gianduja. We may have to give it another try to re-rate it now that we are more knowledgeable about custard!
We will likely skip Tuesday, and although we liked Thursday, 6 custards in a month can be a little overwhelming (we've done it before), so we may end up skipping Thursday too. We think we owe it to ourselves to do a re-review of Sunday and we like Wednesday (and it's appropriate for the holiday), so we may get those even though they're not "new" to us. The new to us ones are Monday, Friday and Saturday, so those are on the "should try" list.
Looking at these flavors, fall is definitely here!
