RI has been mostly cool, but twas 70 on Halloween so the kids didn't
need to put their costumes on over their winter coats.

I made a nice thick vegetable soup with the broth from several weeks
trimmings from the CSA share, and a tuna shiratake-noodle casserole
for dinner for the week.

Winters going to show it's ugly head one of these mornings, it's been around
39F for the last week or so. One of these mornings we'll find a few inches of
snow on the ground, and then it starts.

Like many people, you believe your locality is the entire world.

Average global temperatures have been rising steadily since the Little
Ice
Age of the 17th Century, and they've been rising quite rapidly since
1900.
Recent averages appear to show a slowing in the rate of increase, but
the
last few years of data don't show a strong trend.

I'm not a climatologist; I can't say what is causing it. It seems to
me that
it would do no harm to reduce our burning of fossil fuels, if only to
stop
sending so much money to the Middle East.

actually, d.c. has a pretty moderate climate, rarely that freezing cold or
beastly hot. but of the two extremes, i prefer hot (which around here
means 95 degrees or so).

Love those Shiritake noodles! :-)
Between that BBQ chicken earlier in the week (I gave 1/2 of it to my
sister and her family), the last batch of Canadian bacon and the results
from yesterdays cookalong meal, I've got enough cooked food to last a
few more days yet!

After that, I may try a nice pot of beef and veggie stew, or maybe a
nice pot roast.

Or maybe some Chile made with fresh ground meat... I'm thinking maybe
mix ground beef and ground pork and make a beef stock first out of the
remainder of those BBQ rib bones that are in the freezer.

I had the first polenta of the year just yesterday, with stewed
tripes: that's been my first sign of winter. And we all missed both
polenta and tripes so much that the three of us we cleared up 1.5Kg
of tripes and 300 grams of polenta, LOL
Almost no dinner, yesterday evening...

That just sounds sooo very good. We don't eat beef anymore, or it's
relevant interior bits, but tripe was always one of my favourites.

First sign of fall: fresh cider from a local orchard/mill

First sign of winter: enough snow to shovel. If it's not several
inches
deep, it's just fooling around. We had some flurries in October, but
that definitely wasn't a sign of winter.

There's no special "winter" food here, because fall, winter, and
spring
all feature cool enough weather for roasts, stews, etc. However, if I
feel like a roast in the middle of the summer, I just do it on the
gas
grill.

I am really not excited for the cold weather, except for the fact that I loooovvveee the food for the winter. There is nothing better than a bowl of chili or homemade soup

We eat chili and homemade soup all year. The interior of our house is
about 70 F all year round. But in summer I don't like to run the oven
a
lot because it really runs up the electric bill.

We make a big pot of chili and freeze it in portions. Makes a good
weeknight dinner.

We've had our first sign of fall, a 16 inch blizzard, an upslope.
Your familiar territory, the foothills towns (Evergreen,
Conifer, Genesee, Nederland) had 24-36 inches.) Since Friday it
has been in the 50s and melting off quickly.

Actually that may have been the sign of winter. We don't always
GET a fall here....

I miss the seasons like crazy - and I miss CO even more. If the DH
didn't have his well established law practice here, I'd be dragging
him back to CO like a shot. I was actually northwest of Conifer in
Pine, 4 1/2 acres at 8,500' with a great view of 4 ridgelines to
admire <sniff!>

OB: I loved the October blizzards - got the pellet stoves roaring,
some hot apple cider and a good book. Bliss!

It's nice if you can do it. This is the third place we've lived
since we were married 43 years ago. Engineers go where the jobs are.

It's not easy (for me at least) to pick up and leave an
established community with comfortable friendships to start all
over again. I had to give up a seat on the school board that I
loved. I had to settle our kids and live through their pain.
Husband got a good job, a raise, and lots of adulation from his
new company. It wasn't a bit hard for him, he got all the perks.

When we moved the economy was booming and society was in major
flux. Many of the couples we made friends with soon moved or
divorced. It made me very leery of reaching out to people.

I don't know how career military folk do it. It's SO hard.
Maybe they're like the Mormons who just move from one welcoming
community to the next one.

As an old Air Force brat and former corporate wife, I've moved 17
times and that doesn't include (when I was an AF brat) moving from
temporary housing to "permanent" base housing, which would bump the
ante to 21. AAMOF, when we were transferred to England when I was a
teenager, we lived in temporary housing for 6 months before base
quarters were available, then they closed our base and we were
transferred to another base in England, which tallies 3 moves in 3
years. And the DH, another AF brat, lived in a trailer until he was 10
or 11 so his folks could drag their "house" with them from one duty
station to the next. The symbol for a military brat is a dandelion in
full bloom with the slogan "Bloom Where You're Planted."

Heck, I've moved twice just in the last 8 years and are looking at #28
when we close on the house they're going to *bury* me out of!!!

OB: Some of the kitchens my mother had to cook out of might go a long
way to explaining why she was an indifferent/uninspired cook whose
cookbook collection was whatever cans of soup or boxes of whatever
were in the pantry.

The first pot of chili of the season is bubbling on the stovetop as we
speak. I followed the chili recipe that Publix was sampling at
their Apron Meals stand on Halloween. It was so good that my husband
went back today for the recipe and ingredients and ended up buying the
ingredients for the coming week's meal, too (salmon satay).

That Apron Meal stand is the most genius marketing. They sample a
tasty, simple dinner menu and offer all the ingredients to make it in
one spot.
