Weekend fooding!

I have finally almost resigned myself to the fact that it is fall. This is a long process that never fully ends until it's winter and it's been raining steadily for three straight weeks. At that point, I switch over to attempting to resign myself to the fact that not only is fall over, but winter is in full swing and I will not get blasts of sunshine again until maybe April. I came back from the sunny, hot Italian coast to find drizzling grey, and I yelled at California for personally betraying me, despite the fact that it was already October.

I've been scowling at the pumpkins and the winter squash displays; the apples have given me a frisson of pleasure before reminding me that it is fall, and I have been trying to make the leaves stay green through sheer force of will. Just like every year, none of this really prevents the onset of autumn.

I have nothing against fall per se; I love the leaves and the cider and the smell of cinnamon and apples and squash baking. I love thick sheets and cozily nesting in my couch. But fall means grey skies and no sun, and fall means winter is just around the corner OMG GREY DRIZZLY DARKNESS DOOM.

I really need to get myself a full-spectrum light, or ten.

And now, I am off to drink my pumpkin spice latte (one of the good things about fall) and eat a slice of quiche and a blackberry galette before I go shell peas and watch more Fullmetal Alchemist.
