A Taste of Autumn

You can take the girl out of New York, but you can’t take the New York out of the girl! While I root for the Yanks tonight, as I’m sure they’re on their way to another World Series, I’m admittedly feeling a little homesick here in the land of perpetual sunshine and saguaros. Autumn is my favorite season — it always has been — and so it’s during this time of year that I am most likely to come down with a mild case of the blues. While in Portland last weekend for the Animal Law conference, I was soaking up the autumn vibe — the red and gold leaves, the gentle rain, the crisp air. After a glorious weekend, I came home to the cacti and the roadrunners and the coyotes… and a thoughtful partner who had taken it upon himself to fix me up some squash soup, a seasonal treat that brought a little of the fall to the desert. Vegan and cruelty-free, this soup is about to become a family tradition! To try the recipe for yourself, check out:

So the home team just won the game against the Angels… Let’s Go Yankees!
