Stew season continues and is in full swing in Casa THB. I’m throwing this back to my trip to New Mexico a few weeks ago with this slow cooker green chile stew.

Hello, Sunday.

Hello, October!

It’s hard to believe we are solidly into fall because it is still way too warm for that. I have made no pots of chili. No cozy food. And I have not yet switched over to cold-weather breakfasts. I AM READY.  Mother Nature, why aren’t you?

I came back from New Mexico to a whirlwind of work and social flutter, so it’s taking me a few days longer than normally to recover. I finally feel caught up, and I’m heading into the week with a full calendar and a plane ticket for next weekend. 

YOLO, I guess.

Anyway, here’s this month, in a snapshot.

wishing: for a long weekend soon.

hoping: for the best outcome in november.

thinking: of what’s got to happen by the end of the year. deducible met- what else needs to be done?

praying: mom stays safe on her travels around the globe (she’s in tahiti, new zealand and oz. jealous!)

planning: nothing at the moment! feels good.

dreaming: of cozy mornings in bed and fuzzy blankets on the couch. I just love the colder weather!

wearing: shorts and a t-shirt. not happy about it.

reading: die with zero.  fire and bones.

watching: only murders in the building.  the west wing (rewatch). the new season of gbbo.

eating: apple cider donuts, yo!

traveling: to boston, to chicago

Let’s all have a great October!

I’m so ready to be making fall foods but Mother Nature’s a running a bit behind on that front. I’m biding my time with this Vietnamese Beef and Rice Bowl.
