What’s the saying? “If you don’t like the weather in West Texas, wait awhile and it will change.” I hope you are enjoying the fall chill. We’ve had some beautiful fall days this year, and we didn’t skip from summer to winter. For this I am grateful.

Some people are intimidated by wine choices for the big Thanksgiving family feast. There is no reason for discombobulation. The Thanksgiving meal arguably is the easiest repast of the year for wine pairing.

The dough was dreamy, the kind that feels like a soft pillow – smooth, and not sticky – just right. I began using an adapted version for cinnamon rolls. It makes light, fluffy cinnamon rolls that my family devours. We reserve this treat for special occasions.

November and December are the heaviest wine-buying months of the year. People not into wine—or even alcohol—indulge during the harvest feasts of Thanksgiving and Christmas and the bacchanalian excesses of New Year’s.

Fall side dishes tend to make me a little more creative in the kitchen. Fresh vegetables in early spring and summer can be fairly simple. They are so fresh, not much is needed to show off their best flavor.

Poppys and Veteran’s Day

All remember the little VFW auxiliary ladies sitting in front of the bank and post office with the little red poppy flowers. When I was a kid, I thought you had to have a poppy or you were disrespectful to the United States. My Dad always gave me one to wear for a day or two.

As we begin November, it is hard to believe that there are only two months remaining in 2022. It will soon be time to retire the pumpkins and football books and replace them with Christmas books.

Mini desserts are my favorite way to indulge, recently. Somehow, it’s just more satisfying to eat an entire mini pie than it is to eat a fraction of a regular slice of pie. I’ve even seen mini desserts offered at local restaurants, more and more.
