Welcome To Autumn 2026

"But when fall comes, kicking summer out in it's treacherous ass, as it always does one day sometime before the mid point of September, it stays a while like an old friend that you have missed."

~Stephen King

Salam's Lot

Finally... autumn is here. Leaf peeping, warm sweaters, rain, long trips to new towns and visits to museums. Monster cakelets and homemade cinnamon pecans. Halloween, my witches parasol, American Horror Story, and spiced cider. All the things I love about Autumn, and more!

Today is the Equinox. Take time to appreciate the first day of autumn!

What activity will you do?

My next post will be the very first, Autumn Leaf Of The Day, for 2026!

Ellipsis Weekend Cooking... Zucchini Souffle

 

Zucchini Souffle - NYT - Recipe

"The only thing that will make a souffle fall, is if it knows you're afraid of it."

~James Beard

As we get ever closer to the magic day of, September 21st, I find my body not just hinting, or suggesting, the need for comfort food, it's screaming that message loud and clear! So, how about souffles this weekend? And as I have been missing my fruits and veggies of late, how about we start with a nice Zucchini souffle? And for a side, there's this lovely sounding salad. I LOVE Cara Cara oranges, but be sure to quality check them before buying, they tend to dry out faster than navel oranges. I am not sure if that has just been my experience, or if that is a universal truth, but just check.
