The Return

It's been rainy and gray and cool in NYC for the last few days, matching my mood, cutting summer unfairly short, and reminding me of what I miss about fall.

I love summer a lot more than the next girl and I'll be pleased as punch when the mercury climbs back up to 90 over the weekend. But this unexpected change in the weather has brought to mind the flavors of fall, the things I love most about that season. You can keep your crisp air, cozy sweaters, and changing leaves, but I will take some nice ripe fall squash and apples, homemade soups and roasts, and the scent of cinnamon in everything.

Fall is the time when my kitchen cools off enough to actually allow me to start using it again and this year, I am very much looking forward to that. And as I get to stretch my cooking muscles and get myself back into culinary shape, you can expect to see a lot more content and photos posted on this lil ol' blog.

I'ma peace out to the beach for now, but I'll meet you back here when it's cooler for some hot cider and a chat, deal? Deal.
