OK, it truly only felt like fall for a few days this week, but since tomorrow is the official first day of autumn for the year, I thought I'd share!
1) Check out this amazing pumpkin (or maybe these 3 amazing pumpkins?)!
Found it at Whole Foods this week. It's called a Fairytale pumpkin, and I think it's well deserving of it's name. I'm hoping that it will last through Thanksgiving, but we'll see... I just love having things in the house that just remind me of the creativity of the Father! I love places like Whole Foods and Central Market for the same reason. I was at CM a few days ago with super great SIL Sha, and was marveling at His creativity shown in a display of tomatoes - red, orange, and yellow all lined up in a row- and then in a display of cauliflower- purple and yellow (geaux tigers!) right next to a green coral variety. So fabulous!
2) Also am excited about whole wheat pastry flour - read about it in a magazine last week, and am using it as a substitution for all-purpose flour in recipes now. Have already tried it in these buttermilk waffles, and am even going to go for it in chocolate chip cookies. I'll try anything once!

I am so glad you continue to update your blog. I like reading blogs so much better than Facebook. Let me know about the flour in the cookies-then i can justify eating more.
Shannon, the pumpkin is even more beautiful than I imagined. I hope that it lasts till the day after Thanksgiving. :o)
I have pictures of those cauliflowers...because I. am. a. nerd.
Liz, I love your comment! Facebook just scares me. Honey has an account, and I just can't figure it out...it just seems weird to me, but this I can figure out. So I'm happy to keep updating! I'll let you know about the cookies - used it for banana muffins today, and the pumpkins ate them up!
Sha, you are NOT a nerd! You just, like me, appreciate the beauty in the little random things that God has created...like cauliflower! (Which, BTW, is so delicious roasted with EVOO and italian seasoning....)...
Well, I guess, I am a food nerd, too. Love it. Eating it. Talking about it. Cooking it for others. etc. And Shannon, I love WW Pastry flour, WW any-kind-of-flour. I switched way back and use it for everything. Occasionally, if white flour is on sale, I will buy it, but then I add wheat germ to it, to put back in the goodness:)
Enjoy the waffles.
