Woke up this morning to a rather crispness in the air! Went to Wegmans and got a few ingredients to make the first batch of Chili for the season. It is now cooking away slowly.

Now if only Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts would start making Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.... I would be in heaven.

I have to say it is nice to have a change of weather to something a little cooler. Cannot wait for fall to really kick off!! Hopefully you all are excited to see summer come to an end and fall kick it’s self-off. Let’s just hope winter doesn’t sneak up on us too quickly.

What are you all excited for with the cooler weather?

Thanks for keeping me in mind Nita!!! And GP... I totally didn't mean it that way but stop on by for a bowl... you can review my cooking techniques.

My fall favorite: pot roast.

My secret chili ingredient (don't tell ANYONE): a couple of squares of semi-sweet baker's chocolate (don't knock it until you've tried it).

You know, only those of us who were born and raised in this latitude know what Brooke's talking about. The Southerners don't seem to have the appreciation for the cold, clear crispness of fall. The air is so refreshing this time of year.

Winter has its poetic beauty, too. Maybe you Rochesterians have too large a plateful of it to feel that way, but winter is truly one of the most beautiful times of the year.

I think I'd grow increasingly despondent, living in a part of the world that didn't have 4 distinctly different seasons.

ahhh fall I love fall. But this year every thing is so late. I just started on eating my corn. The straw berry's where a bust. And my peaches are not ripe yet. asparagus was over before I could get at it. wet spring errrr.

BrookeButtons · 08-23-2011, 06:39 AM

Offshore.. for some reason I never pictured you as a "farmer" Your a man with many talents

offshoredrilling · 08-23-2011, 08:28 AM

I'm not its a garden. The trees where transplanted from the farm I was raised on as a lad. Before it become a housing track and expressway. And planted in my and uncles yard next door. Wish we grabbed some cherries, pairs, and plumb trees.
