New Beginnings

The end of summer is a bitter sweet season- the heavy harvest of summer produce starts to wane, days become shorter and bright, hot days are replaced with the mild, diffused light of the low angled sun. I love summer and it's brash, prolonged exuberance. The heat, the light, the abundance and the relaxed shape of the week suit my personality perfectly. However, the circle of days continues, and I gradually begin to appreciate the produce of fall. Kabocha pumpkins and crisp kale abound at the farmer's market. Shoulder season tomatoes sit along side bumper crops of apples of many varieties. Chilly mornings give opportunity to sit with a blanket on the deck contemplating cookbooks new and old. Cinnamon and cardamom replace basil and tarragon in my dreams.

Menus at the truck will shift to reflect the season soon. Spiced tomato jam that perks up the pulled pork sliders will give way to apple compote (or pear, maybe?). The amazing paella we've been doing on the gas burner will be replaced with pot au feu, featuring organic grass fed beef from our supplier at Open Space Meats. Soon. Soon enough.
