Time Flies....

Wow, what a busy couple of weeks.  Vacation was done and then the fun really started.  I had to finish packing  up my apartment, move, work and try to reorganize my life in a very short time span.  While some of the "putting away" still continues, for the most part, things are beginning to settle down.  Settle down, just in time for Fall.  As you may or may not recall, Fall is my favorite time of the year.  It's the change that you feel in the air, the sort of new beginning.  I think I still equate Fall with the return to school and that always meant a new start, a year of possibilities that could be endless.  The difference however, between then and now is the speed at which the summers pass.  I remember being a kid and spending endless summer days playing with my friends, when the days seemed to go on for much longer than 24 hours.  Now, I blinked and summer was over.  While it's sad to say good bye to summer, the one thing we can enjoy is the bounty of fruits and vegetables provided us with to create some great , fresh meals.   Last night's dinner was my adapted recipe for Risotto with 3 colors of peppers and portobello mushrooms.  Tonight I'm making some hearty braised short ribs  with garlic mashed potatoes.  Check out the INSPIRE section for the breakdown on your own Harvest Dinner.  Happy Fall!
