holy september batman

wow, september is here. i can't believe it. as i'm sure you gathered by my last post i love fall, especially this unreasonably cool weather we are having. if i could freeze time right now i would, it is perfect jeans, sandals and a cardigan weather. however, knowing the crazy changes in weather we always have, it should warm right up to 100 tomorrow.

in a non-weather related post, i went to lunch (actually was taken out to lunch) yeterday to the most amazing place, bowood farms. located just blockes from the heart of the central west end, this place was like a mirage in the distance. it is a converted warehouse space into a nursery, graden and cafe. it was lovely and the food was delicious. (see the photos below).


we shared a few desserts at the cafe but the best was a fudgy, cherry, walnut brownie. I definitely need to make some of these over this long holiday weekend. i found a recipe at epicurious that seemed easy eonough, i guess i will have to make them and find out!

i'm sorry/is it fall yet?

ok, so i sincerely apologize that i have not posted on here in months. gosh it's been months! life was hectic, work was busy, but no more excuses. i am back. i am pretty sure no one is reading this blog or checking it for new posts especially after the obscene break i took, but i will press on. and so my first blog post in a looooonngggg while...

thing i love about fall
-scarves
-acorn squash, spaghetti squash, all forms of squash
-caramel apples, apple cider, apple picking (shout out to eckert's country store and farm!)
-raking leaves (i know im a freak for liking to do it)
-jeans tucked into boots
-hot chocolate and oatmeal for breakfast
-*pumpkin carving
-pumpkin flavored everything, the pumpkin spice latte at starbucks, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin candy corn which isn't really pumpkin flavored its just in the shape of a pumpkin

*for anyone who is not aware, i am a pumpkin carving fanatic. last year i carved 6 pumpkins, i deemed the event the pumpkin carving extravaganza. i not a purist, i don't mind using premade designs, and i do clean the seeds and cook them afterward. i will post pictures this fall. :)
