My favorite time of year is just beginning-- autumn. It is a time rich of smells, sights, sounds and amazing products from the Union Square Greenmarket in New York. I came home with armfulls of treasures this evening, and I have many fantastic ingredients that will be featured in upcoming posts.
Tonight, it's not about food, but the beauty of the amazing Sunflowers
and Purple Majesty Millets
that I found.
Behold, the purely natural scrumptiousness and whenever you get the opportunity, support your local farmers in this glorious season of harvest. Have a great long weekend if you're in the States and don't Labor too much unless it's a labor of love in your kitchen or garden.
This season is also the best kept secret of New England. The weather is perfect - comfortably warm and dry, clear blue skies and foliage that is superb. We also have great farmers' markets with countless choices. I always look forward to this time of year. Soon,I will make my mother's recipe for stuffed pumpkin.

Pauline, yes, you are indeed surrounded by beauty in New England too. You remind me that I should take a trip north with my camera to come and enjoy your beautiful foliage. Would love to try your mother's stuffed pumpkin recipe if you care to share...I will also do a post later this autumn of my #1 all-time favorite soup. An amazing butternut squash soup.

Hi Stephanie,
Well I'm certainly glad that I'm pretty good at spelling, because I had a tough time getting over to your site through the comment that you had left because the "p" was missing from the link to and I was like..."Error 404? Link not found?" Anyhoo, glad I finally thought to look at the address bar and got myself over here. It's always nice to see interests of a professed food blogger other than well, food. The flower images are gorgeous! Happy Labor Day!
