I’m looking forward to a trip to Martha’s Vineyard and great fall weather. We’re hoping to work on outdoor projects and to grill something tasty as a reward for hard work.
Have a wonderful weekend!
My fall bounty is bringing me so much pleasure. I’ve picked apples and concord grapes. I received butternut squash and a jack-o-lantern pumpkin from my brother, as well as fresh eggs! I harvested a couple of squash and sugar pumpkins from my garden and my sister-in-law sent along another sugar pumpkin. Thanks to my family for the gifts!
I’m looking forward to incorporating all of this bounty in meals during the months ahead. The timing of the Epicurious and Washington Post articles below is perfect.
