is it here to stay
?

have you gotten out your legwarmers yet
have you gotten the comforter drycleaned
have you remembered where you stuffed your big knitted cowl
have you made spicy ginger tea yet
have you gotten out your pea coat and brushed it off
where are your galoshes?
where is your umbrella?
do you have your vitamin d supplements

    I got lightbulbs from the Light Lady... a SELECTION. Because she is all about there is no right or wrong answer... just what you like. Finally realized that every year around October I have an emotional crash that lasts until Feb.+. I only noticed it this year because I have a net increase level in happiness... usually the even-more-down feelings just get lost in the noise. #:-) #s.a.d.vschronicdysthymia

    Andy is making roasted vegetable soup right now. Seems autumny.

    I haven't done those things.

    I think its partial autumn. Cool combo. Highs in the low 70s. Clouds for part of the day.

    I bought a long and fancy rain jacket.
    I bought a cardigan.
    I need to buy socks.
    I am boiling pinto beans.
    I picked some apples from my tree.
    Tonight there will be beans, greens and barbecue tempeh.
    And apple pie.

  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I want one of Joey's pies
    although last night I did pull on a nice toasty pair of socks Joey gave me
    Joey does autumn very well

    I like partial autumn! Can still get into your shorts periodically if you like. Still go get those last couple of freckles before the rains set in

    I think this weekend I will make beans and cheese grits

  • the_owlsthe_owls
    I'm cold and can't stay awake- keep napping. Feeling surprisingly unexcited about fall, somebody help me! Make me a soup or cider, stat!
  • freddyfreddy
    I'm in LA. Again. I've come here 5 times since July, I think? It's not autumn here.

    I closed the window in Jdawg's room after 4 months.

    7:49 am, it's equinox.

  • joeyjoey
    Owls!
    Come to Anacortes!
    I HAVE PIE!
  • joeyjoey
    I am eating pie for breakfast with kefir and peppermint tea in two cups to drink on the side. I might wear my velvety shoes today.
    I am good at fall.
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    Two cups... so you can save a trip when you are ready for your second?

    I like it!
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    I woke up early so I could have b fast at Gravy.... Yogurt parfait, hashbrowns with veggie gravy ^_^
  • flossy_log_ladyflossy_log_lady
    Baking banana bread in the oven as I type! Maybe that's not an autumn thing, but it feels like all warm breads are sort of autumn-y.
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    I'm wearing a sweater and my feet are cold.
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    The scourge of winter on a hacker....... COLD HANDS ON THE KEYBOARD!!!!

    Want typing gloves
  • LucyLucy
    I'm cold already, too! I hope we can fend off the chilblains this year! Medieval afflictions, boo.
  • LelandLeland
    Still t-shirting today! Endless summer!
  • MatthewMatthew
    I ran 9 miles in 80° weather and forgot it was autumn.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    if I make tomato sauce with tomatoes that aren't 100% ripe will it taste bad
    some of them are ripe
    some are still a tiny bit hard, though still red and plump
    just seemed like the right thread for asking this
  • LucyLucy
    It won't be as flavorful as it COULD be, but it won't taste bad, especially if some of them are ripe. Sauce on!
  • joeyjoey
    Go for it! However slightly unripe your tomatoes are your sauce will taste a million times better than canned sauce (plus, you think they only put premium ripe tomatoes in canned sauce?).
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    ok guys! thanks!!
  • LelandLeland
    What do the cooks think about overripe tomatoes? On the one hand I'm thinking no big deal, they are going to get mooshy when you cook them anyway, on the other hand I'm thinking there's probably a point where they start tasting like boogers (or worse). Seems like it'd be ok if they are too mooshy for salad but still not boogery.

    You think?
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    cut one, lick it, and if it tastes good use it!

    that's a motto of mine you are welcome to use for free
  • LelandLeland
    fweeeee! fweeeee!
  • MatthewMatthew
    Fry the hell out of it. My new favorite thing. We are replete with tomatoes from our CSA.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    you guys my tomato sauce turned out SO EPIC
    how can I ever used canned again???

    anja made that "roasted vegetable soup," but when we tasted the end result, it became clear that she had really just made a very good spaghetti sauce.

    I had an amazing apple coconut cider at Prasad. That place is RULING me lately. Also, I think they like that Agassi and I are dating.
