A time to eat
Posted on | September 25, 2005 | 13 Comments
In the summer, when the heat pushes in through the screens and the crickets and the traffic and the yelling of kids playing stickball in the street fills the air with soundwaves, I don’t cook. The oven makes the house too hot. And usually, I’m not hungry for more than a salad or some grilled corn or pizza anyway.
But come fall, when the skys are sharp and clear with cookie-cutter stamps of clouds–white agains a chilly blue, then it’s time for soups, for scones, for bread.

I cannot wait for clam chowder w/sourdough nights, or split pea soup nights….

I LOVE fall and the turn towards winter. In SoCal, it’s such a delight and I just eat up the dark skies and mosture in the air. And the food! I love food way too much and this time of year is all about comfort meals.
And I LOVE your artwork. So jealous!

Soups! I bought a zucchini as big as my leg today…it’s destined for yummy, yummy zucchini soup. Mmmmmm…!

Maybe this is what is up with my son today–he’s eating as if he were a bottomless pit! I think he’s catching up from being so sick or something, but it is driving me CRAZY!
I love soups when it is cold out and making my homemade Shiner Bock chili! Mmmmm…

It’s really true…the first whiff of fall weather and all of a sudden I’m making pots of soup and baking bread, etc. Your illustration looks good enough to eat! In fact, I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee that’s just begging for something to go with it…mind if I take a slice? :> Beautiful pen work with just the right touches of color.

So true. All I want to do is stay home and make soups and stews and applecrumble… love the drawing.

Another reason I love falll–the bubbling pots of soup, the smearing of apricot jam on everything, the creaminess of pumpkin, digging out the soft pillows from the crust of warm loaves of bread, biscotti dipped in steaming cups of spiced coffee, pumpkin raviolik….oh lord, is it dinner time yet?
