It's a beautiful Canadian morning in Toronto, Ontario; about 17 degrees Celsius and partly cloudy.
For those of you who don't live in a northern climate, you may not realize (whisper:) but as we speak, little leaves on the trees are changing colour from green, to red/yellow/orange. It is indeed remarkable that their natural instinct is to die so beautifully. What a sight!
Did I sound like I was on National Geographic?
Allllrighty then.
In the spirit of these dipping temperatures (that hopefully will not go too low any time soon), I am organizing a Fall 'To Do' list. Or rather a 'To Cook' list.
Stick with me this fall and together we can learn all about fall food, fall table settings, what Martha Stewart has to say about these colourful leaves, and so on and so fourth.
So lets get rolling, shall we?
Basically, my list is comprised of dishes that I want to try, ingredients I want to cook with, and some activities I want to do while the weather is still crisp. (For those of you who don't get snow, and don't have to drive through six inches of it on your way to work, crisp means: cool, fresh, and invigorating.)
As I go, all of the recipes I have completed can be found in the category, 'seasonal' in the left hand column of my blog.
