If I See One More Pumpkin Spiced Anything…

     Well folks, summer is officially over in New England.  3 days of cold rain and a hurricane that may or may not (ah, to be a weatherman) wind its way up the coast mean it’s time to begin winter prep in the garden.  There’s still hope for some red cabbage, beets, and, of course, more squash than we know what to do with.  Time to run out and grab any tomatoes and peppers left on the vine.  Hopefully I’ll remember to order some seed garlic this week; this year’s crop was delicious and very easy to grow.

     Heading off to a weekend family gathering in the Poconos, which means the ancient tradition of obligatory crock pot dips & casseroles.  If anything really stands out, I’ll make sure to share the Pinterest link recipe here.  The weather has already put a damper on any plans for a family golf-outing, so I’m packing up my favorite card game, Munchkin.  Since PA has over 3.5 million residents of German descent, here’s hoping tomorrow’s Oktoberfest street fair isn’t rained out too!
