As Autumn draws near....

I know down south may not be this way yet, but here in Vancouver the weather is starting to have those lively moments of crispness. I have even spotted a few golden leaves and my cravings are starting to involve pumpkin, root veggies and cider. That means Fall time will soon be here! (Ok, it's a month away...technicalities) To me, the chilly season of Autumn followed by the down right cold Winter screams soups, stews, bisques and gumbos. Our new house has a kitchen with a much better set-up than the last, so cooking will not be as much a challenge. And it is right down the street from the second best-voted bakery in Vancouver, which means we have access to delicious soup sopping breads! Tis' the season for soup!
