Inspiration of the season

Ahhhhhhh.... fall. *breathes deeply and sighs contentedly*

Fall means so many things; crunchy leaves on the sidewalk, a slight chill in the air, SWEATERS AND JACKETS, and all sorts of yummy fall treats... turnips and turnip greens, apples/applesauce/applesauce CAKE! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes... excuse me while I compose myself. *swoons*
And, of course,'tis the season of soup! Hearty lentil and veggie soups, potato-leek soup, butternut squash soup, spiced pumpkin soup... now that I am a graduated woman, I will (supposedly) have time to regularly update this thing, as I keep promising you all that I will. A Facebook post by a friend today reminded me that I've got an outlet for my culinarily creative juices... this blog! Hooray!
For now, some pictures. One is of a lovely bowl of butternut squash+root veggie soup my friend Kelly made, and the second is of a sundae I made with homemade ice cream, salted caramel sauce (from Trader Joe's, yay!), and a cider donut from a local orchard. Mmmmmm...
