It's going to be my favorite time of year very soon....AUTUMN!!!!!!!!! The festivals, the smell of burning leaves, and turtlenecks are just some of my favorite things - along with bright copper kettles, warm woolen mittens, and brown paper packages tied up with string. :p
I also love the recipes -so here is one recipe for the cool evenings that will soon be upon us.....
