Hi @Puzzle Piece

Wanted you to know my earlier reference was not about you, but it all disappeared when I posted that.

We are in the middle of a yo-yo heatwave here.  SF is supposed to get up to at least 90 this weekend, other hot days sprinkled in between.

I'm looking forward to fall cooking instead.

I understnd Noel.  Yes, we will have warm temps her too - triple digit.  I like the offerings for Fall/Autumn in the various dishes made for the season.  Sorry your thread got removed.  I was banned for a couple of hours for mentioning the M word.  I was sent off to see the wizard.

I actually made a pasta with pumpkin sauce recipe that I found on Facebook, it was pretty good.

Fry 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary in 2 tbs. olive oil till they start to brown. Remove them from oil and drain on paper towel.  Cook 12 oz. penne pasta till al dente ( I used whole wheat ). Be sure and salt the water well !!  Before you drain pasta, save 2 cups of cooking water. Add a 15 oz. can of pumpkin to oil left in pan. Then add 1/2 cup of half and half, 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan., 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, 2 cloves of grated garlic, 1 tbs. white vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon. Red pepper flakes. Salt to taste, add more cooking water if needed. Serve with drained Rosemary crumbled on top.   Now this is just me, but I added cumin, because I love it in any squash. If you make it I hope you enjoy !!

To be completely honest, I am totally stoked about being able to drag out and dust off the slow cooker once the temp drops and doesn't bounce back to hot weather.

Soups and stews, yum!

Nope, I don't do anything special to welcome fall or winter.

@Puzzle Piece  Our weather man this morning said that on this day, there is nearly equal  the number of hours of daylight and night time.  Found this link...

I'm hunting stink bugs, trying to keep them off my porch...ugghh...hate these things

[Puzzle Piece]

@sgraham30That's okay. 

@Pandalady It is very warm here and triple digits are on for the weekend.  I like the hay bales, pumpkins, sunflowers, fabric fall leaves.  Always so pretty.

It was a little cool today.  Looks like it will stay 70ish.  My kind of weather.  Welcome fall.
