Harvest Time

Thank you to those of you who posted to our Warm & Cozy theme. I had a lot of fun reading the posts that you shared.

The new theme will be "Harvest Time." Here in the US, Thanksgiving is around the corner. Even though the true harvest has passed in parts of the country (it certainly has in New England), we're still celebrating living in a land of plenty.

So, crack open your cookbooks and find a recipe to use celebrate the harvest. Of course, what that means is up to you. Are you still working your way through a bushel of pick-your-own apples? Cracking into a hard-shelled squash? Or just opening a can of pumpkin and a bag of frozen corn, and enjoying the symbolic foods? Whatever your style, come share your harvest recipes with us. After all, sharing and eating is what this season is all about.

Warm & Cozy

Well, the clocks changed yesterday.  The days are getting shorter.  Here in New England, the air is getting colder.  Last night, I stepped outside and smelled the crisp, clean smell of impending snow.  It didn't snow, because it wasn't cold enough, but it's not far off.

Given all of this, I thought a good theme for these two weeks would be "warm and cozy."  Choose a recipe from your cookbooks that is warming.  Something you want to come home to on a dark, cold night.  Or something you want to stay in and bake while the wind whips outside.
