We are now approaching my favorite season: fall. As a born and raised Washingtonian, I very much like my crisp weather. Especially after a sweltering East Coast summer.
Fall is so wonderful because it has such great textures and tastes. Warm, wooly sweaters and spicy drinks make fall the best season, hands down. And its also a great excuse to make soup.
Its an exciting time of the year for an aspiring chef (did you know that about me? Yeah, aspiring self-taught chef), because its harvest time and its comfortable enough to cook indoors and out. My boyfriend gave me a bright red, shiny grill for my birthday last year, and it hasn't gotten enough use. Probably because its so humid and grilling requires a shower afterwards. So, now I have lots of produce because of the time of year and its cool enough to grill. How messed up am I? I wait for it to cool to grill....
I just love what this time of the year brings. I think its more inspiring than New Years. You have a new school year, which doesn't really apply to me, but you still get that feeling. You have a bounty of good food. Everyone's back from vacation, so you are entitled to have more at home parties. You get to cover up a little bit, which is always more comfortable. And all of the college kids have gone back to school, so going out is much more enjoyable!!!
Fall, I really love you that much.
The title of this post is kind of an inside joke. We were watching the horrible Harrisburg news the other day and that's what the weather guy said. And I said, "Yeah, they're called seasons. There are 4 of them."
On a side note, I'm approaching my 2nd year anniversary of my move from Washington. Its bittersweet. I'll post more when that day approaches (9/18). In the meantime, I'm going to go enjoy this beautiful weather!!
