Piaceri Autunnali... Autumn Pleasures..

It's that time of year... everyone thinking of Pumpkins and Squashes,  Colorful Leaves,   and cool breezes.  Here we can only dream of cool breezes and brightly hued trees... it has been a very hot early Fall,  but happily,  it cooled of just in time for Halloween. I'm in full Autumn mode in the kitchen,  making old favorites,  and thinking up new seasonal recipes...

Happy Thanksgiving...

There are Pies in the oven,  and a Gingerbread Naked Cake for Edy.  It smells like Thanksgiving on this gorgeous (too hot) day... So thankful for wonderful family and great friends...
