FALLing

Among this season's most celebrated treasures (pumpkineverything!leaves!applecider!coolweather!) I look forward to Fall because of food. October and November are hearty, earthy, rustic months and my appetite tends to reflect that. As the middle months of the year dwindle down I become increasingly lustful after the perfectly spiced taste of beer brewed for Fall. (Note: Fall beer is also usually brewed with the perfect ABV% to get the job done, quickly.)

Enjoying some delicious Oktoberfest beer at the Ol'Heidelberg in Huntsville, AL.

Last night the nest hosted an oven's worth of pumpkin scones topped with a spicy sweet glaze (bring it- Starbucks!) and this weekend some of the birdies are caravaning to a chili cook-off hosted in the forest of WV. In fact even tonight's dinner menu at the nest is loaded with foods that answer Fall's call: "Comfort me."

Just thinking about it has exhausted me with Fall possibilities! In fact, I'm ready for another relaxing mug of ginger tea followed by a long, somber sleep. Good night!


Do any of you have recipes or traditions reserved especially for Fall?
