The Fall Is Upon Us

For some people, autumn is a chilly season that has few redeeming qualities. It evokes the end of summer, gray skies, no more beach time on warm, sunny and sometimes sultry afternoons. And of course vacation has ended for many and school is back in session. I am not among those who dislike the yellow and orange season of fall where leaves change and eventually die off, only to return in the spring. In fact, I am a fan of the fall. It’s harvest time and some of the best of the best foods are back in season, like winter squash including pumpkin, cranberries and lobster. This is the ideal time of year to consume seafood as standard advice has been to only eat in months that contain an “r” in their names which would be September through April.
