Fall is Coming.

Subject: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:55 pm

So, fall is on its way, for most of us, at least, and that means leaf piles, cool weather, hot chocolate, and for Americans, Thanksgiving. However, for most, there is some kind of feast or gathering, and do you know what that means? Recipes. Family recipes, traditional recipes, point is, there's lots of food. What are your favorite fall themed foods? My ultimate goal is to acquire a cookbook based on each season, so let's make it happen!

I hate Autumn food. It's all pumpkin this, pumpkin that. Blech.

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 16, 2013 8:53 pm

Meh...Pumpkin is only one ingredient. There are so many fall spices and vegetables! ><

Also, Layne, your alcoholism is showing.

Behave, children.

Also, it's not alcoholism, it's an appreciation for adult beverages in excess.

I agree with her.
The excess part.
Behaving sucks.

I have never once eaten pumpkin.

I'll go have a look for some Autumn recipes for you.

Yule ale I'll be making come Midwinter. xD

Slowly boil five pints of ale (Double Diamond is my personal
choice). While the ale is heating beat together six eggs (both
whites and yolks) and add to the ale. Add roasted apples, 1/2
cup of honey, fresh nutmeg, 1 handful of cloves and 1/2 cup of
sliced fresh ginger root and finally 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
Let the mixture brew for at least 10 minutes and serve piping
hot.

And yes, I'm planning Yule (Asatru Yule) now because I've never done it and I want all the stuff and all that. ._.

And fall is for horror. xD

Come on people! I know you all love food! It's how humans work! ><

I dunno about you guys, but I am just going to eat all the Asian food my grandparents cook up. Nom nom nom.

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 30, 2013 1:44 pm

I enjoy sweet yams. And pumpkin pie. And whipped cream. Smile

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 30, 2013 2:15 pm

I second the food enjoyed by Maja Very Happy

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 30, 2013 3:01 pm

All of those are good, and they stick with the season! I'm trying very hard to make a seasonal cookbook, one for spring, fall, winter, and summer, using spices associated with the season and vegetables that are harvested at that time. So pumpkin pie and yams are both good examples. Pumpkin, sweet potatoes, cinnamon, sweetness, and richness. All things associated with fall!

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Mon Sep 30, 2013 3:15 pm

What about asian food? D:

Subject: Re: Fall is Coming. Tue Oct 01, 2013 8:58 am

Asian food is not associated with autumn unless you are in Asia!

Or have Asian grandparents, apparently.
