Welcome Autumn

Ten Things I Like About Fall

Backyard Burns: We usually start up the fire pit in October, and on good nights with no wind have small burns with the trimmings from our trees. Those quiet, cold nights sitting and watching the flames are always wonderful.

Baking: I always bake more in the fall because of holidays, birthdays and the general need for more substantial meals and snacks. I like baking a lot.

Cooler Season: While summer will always be my favorite season, after a long, wet, hot season like we just had I really don't mind things getting drier and cooler.

End of Hurricane Season: I'm able to relax a little more once the storm season ends.

Halloween: I love handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Come to my house, I always have plenty.

Making Stews and Soups: Summer is too hot here for heavy meals. I look forward to making bean soup, beef stew, chicken and rice soup, ham and cabbage, etc. again.

My Favorite Person Returns: She will be coming home toward the end of fall. I miss her terribly.

NaNoWriMo: November is National Novel Writing Month. Although I really don't have time, knowing me, I probably will participate again this year.

Sweaters: I can haul out the two I own and actually wear them.

Thanksgiving: My favorite holidays happens.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
