01 Sep Aww, Yeah…
At last, beloved September, you’ve come to me. It seems like forever since we’ve enjoyed each other’s company, and I wish you wouldn’t leave me again this way.
Clearly I need to spend some time away from my computer. But I do get really excited about this wonderful month, because the air starts to cool, it’s time to turn the oven on again (after Indian Summer, of course), and I can look forward to magnificent aromas emanating from the stove once more. And did I mention Harvest? I might have to crown myself the Goddess of Gastronomy and throw some sort of festival. Just for the hell of it.
Summer is rough on cooks. Who wants to be bothered when the humidity makes standing in front of the grill its own special circle of Hell? So bring on the chill, I say. It’s time to head into the kitchen.
