Fall, the Favorite

Love, love, love fall.  I have been thinking about this and don’t quite know why fall is my favorite season.  Maybe all the colors, maybe knowing Thanksgiving, the best holiday of all, is on the way, or maybe it’s the food associated with fall.  I think it is a bit of all of those, but the food definietly plays a big part in fall’s popularity with me.  After a long hot summer never wanting to turn the oven on to help heat up an already hot kitchen, I welcome the cooler temps and cooking with the window open.  Fall harvests provide so many delicious foods to cook, and yes, experiment with.  Many friends say fall is depressing as it means shorter days, plants freezing, and winter coming.  Not me, fall is my favorite season.
