Hi Chuck! I have only baked some berry crostatas. I don't know why it is, but berries are very cheap in the stores right now. I used Pillsbury pie crust and topped them with a shelf-stable whipped cream I got at Trader Joes. For crostatas, you don't have to put your crust into a pie shell. You just lay it on a cookie sheet and fold up the edges around the filling. So simple! If you put parchment paper down, you don't even have to clean the cookie sheet afterwards! Yummy and easy.
Is everyone getting into the fall spirit? It sure looks like you are, friend!

It is difficult to get into the fall spirit around here this year. The forecast is for the temperature to be downright summery--again--by the end of the week--80 F or so. The weather has just not been fall-like.
I think this is the first time ever I've been wearing short-sleeved shirts in the middle of October.
This is not the case everywhere. Yesterday morning I caught the very end of a news report--something about the moose population in Maine--and you could see beautiful fall foliage behind the reporter.

Oh, I wish! It got up to 75 here yesterday, so my neighbors and I went up to the rooftop patio for a fire-pit gathering, which we do several times a week. We meet new people up there and keep expanding our friends group.
According to my phone (though it's notoriously unreliable this time of year) it's going to get to 70 one day next week. All the other days, including today, highs are in the mid-60s at best. Some are even in the mid-50s. As always, I am not ready for this.

I've heard that there is snow already in Colorado.

One of the most notorious blizzards in Minneapolis history involved 18" (not a typo!) on HALLOWEEN (also not a typo!) -- i.e., less than three weeks from now.
Luckily, I wasn't living here at the time.
