Some days a lighthearted, short read is exactly the distraction you need from your job, kids, spouse, housework, and/or current events. Today's fix for me comes from Taste of Home. It's a listing of fall desserts paired with zodiac signs, and it's silly, fun, and at least in this household, very, very wrong.

The Scorpio in our house is from the South, and uncharacteristically for a Southerner, he despises all things pecan. According to the article, however, pecan pie should be his dessert of choice. That is never going to happen, but it's okay because that means more pie for me. The Libra here doesn't care much for caramel apples, although she would enjoy any of the pies.

I'm an Aquarius. Of all the tasty desserts listed here by Taste of Home, pumpkin spice cupcakes are among the last I would choose. I've never wanted to be a Virgo before, but I will take their pumpkin cake roll over my cupcakes any day. My biggest takeaway after reading this list is that chocolate isn't one of the flavors of fall, which is an omission everyone should try to correct.

How well do the article's selections match your zodiac sign?
