Summer's end

I have been thinking about homemade soups and knitting for the last week or so.  I have been thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas baking.  My husband thinks I'm crazy.  I'm fed up with humidity and am looking forward to bright crisp mornings and sleeping without the a/c cranked.  I know it doesn't make me popular to feel this way, but I am a spring/fall kind of girl.  Summer is over Dear Reader and I couldn't be happier.  The next few months are always so busy with holiday meals, shopping, and parties.  I will write list after list and be in my OCD glory!  I have lists in my phone as well as in a small book I carry in my purse.  I love lists.  They keep me organized and on the ball, not to mention sane.  I have a busy life.  It really is the only way.

So with summer's end we had our friend's Don and Brenda over for dinner.  We hadn't seen them in over a month as they had been away on a driving trip to our east coast, visiting New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.  I made that ricotta that I shared with you a while back as an appetizer.  This time though, I roasted some yellow pepper and grape tomatoes to put on top.  The sweetness of the yellow peppers with the tang of the tomatoes made these little toasts fantastic.  You really must try making the ricotta if you haven't already.  Seriously.  Go now.

It is my youngest son's birthday today.  Our family tradition is that dinner is your choice....go out for dinner or have Mum cook whatever you want.  My family always opts for Mum's cooking on their big day.  He chose his usual......burritos and nachos.  Not very high brow Dear Reader, but good family fun.  For dessert this year he changed things up!  He asked for the epic apple pie I shared with you here I while back.  My family hasn't stopped talking about that pie since I made it and this was the perfect excuse to have it.  It really is epic.  Worth all the apple peeling. Trust me.

So here we are....the last long weekend of the summer.  The next one is Thanksgiving Dear Reader!  I am so excited.   I have a special Thanksgiving page planned with nice recipes to share with you.  Watch the top of the blog for a new button in the coming weeks......
