Welcome to fall

The mornings have been dreary lately with the fog back in the San Francisco Bay Area. So I thought I'd brighten up the day and this new month (October) with these wonderful fall colors I saw at a grocery store. This is the season for figs (far right) so I can't wait to get some plump ones, for eating and cooking.

For people new to my blog (and you know, I started this blog last week, so everyone's new!), feel free to mark this blog for RSS feeds (live blog for you Firefox browsers) so you can have my postings summarized for you if you forget to come back often. But I hope you do because I want to hear your comments about my recipes and ramblings about food. :)
