The summer is gone. A distant memory. Faint. Elusive. Shadowed in the darkness of fall. However...Fall cooking rocks! It kicks ass really. As our ingredients come bellowing in daily, I get the strong urge to realign. Realign with the season and the moment. To get into what is here and now. The summer is a fun time for cooking for sure. Posted within is a tribute to the final fallen. What will be next on the horizon? Who knows. Lets see where this leads me.
