Today in the New York Times dining section, The Minimalist food personality Mark Bittman shares a recipe for asparagus prosciutto rolls.
Shortly after reading his column, I came across a critique of it on The Kitchn that makes a good point: Although the dish looks delicious, asparagus is completely out of season. Instead, The Kitchn suggests, why not opt for something lighter on the conscience, such as squash or roasted beets?

Last month I wrote about a surprising study that stated men are more attracted to women in the Winter time. As someone who loves the Summer, I'd always thought the opposite — that women are far sexier with a dewy glow — but apparently I've been wrong all these years! Sure, Winter clothes are cute and it's fun to bundle up, but tell me, do you feel sexy when it's cold outside?

Don't you just love Fall? It's such a cozy time of year, full of fleece coats, sipping hot cups of cider, and afternoon outings pumpkin picking. Long walks admiring the warm colored leaves and crisp air give hints that Winter holiday celebrations are on their way.

It may be officially Fall, but depending on where you live in the country, you may still be spending your time outdoors enjoying the warmth of Summer weather.

Now that the prediction's over, I can't say I'm pleased about the prospect of six more weeks of winter . . . 
Even though having pets outside in freezing temps can be dangerous for long periods of times, many pooches enjoy a good pounce in the snow. North didn't make it to Tahoe this holiday weekend, but we hope to get up there soon. He's a tad undecided about the cold stuff; he likes to stay on stomped, semi-solid ground to sniff around the snowbank – unfortunately, he makes it his business to smell it, not to do his business in it.
Happy first day of Fall everyone!! Can you believe it's already time to break out your Winter garb? While I am a warm weather girl myself, the first few days of Fall always get me excited for change - not to mention it means the holidays are closer!!
