Ok, not really quite 'cold' yet, but close enough for me! I love this time of year more than any other. The trees are turning, the weather is cooling, and what I like to call the "Fall Phenomena" is raising its beautiful head. I...am baking! I don't know what it is about this change in the temperature, but it has some sort of unexplained reaction with my body. The lower the degree outside, the more food appears in my kitchen.
Last night was the first wave. I decided I really wanted fudge, but unfortunately it was that fourth batch for me. Every fourth batch turns out just a little different than it should be. Still edible, but..different. Ah well. Then, after a quick venture to the grocery store for greens to make a fresh salad and yeast, I made a salad, chicken tetrazzini and focaccia bread -- from scratch! The bread was my crowning achievement, I'm not going to lie. I'm still beaming.
Then, today at work, I read the newspaper. Did you know the Taste edition of the Dallas Morning News comes out on Wednesday? I didn't! I now have an amazing recipe for sugar cookies that involves sour cream (I'm quite curious to see how those turn out!) that will be saved for another day. Aaaannd...A beautiful Classic Coconut Cake with White Mountain coconut icing. Also, I made Monkey Bread for breakfast tomorrow! They're right, this is the most wonderful time of the year!
If I hadn't left my camera in West Texas, there'd be pictures...So. Who wants to be my friend? ;o)
