Here it comes.



O Fall. O Glorious Autumn. Let me revel in your squashy delight.


Yes, the pumpkins have arrived! It's officially October, which means that most of my favorite rich, starchy, lovely vegetables are ready to be cooked with.

This is a genuine candid picture of my delight at seeing the huge mound of pumpkins piled up at the Whole Foods in Midtown last year on the first day of October.

October also means it's time for the Fall Eat Local Challenge! I will be participating here and via twitter and The Eat Local Challenge Website all month long. I've also been gathering resources for anyone in the Atlanta area who would like to do their own Eat Local Challenge, so be on the lookout for that post which will be coming in the next couple of days.
