An Autumn Feast

All the rain made me want to cook. Of course, by the time I served the meal, the rain was gone and it was no longer 60 degrees but 80.

( Beets with oranges and almonds )

From petzipellepingo

( French *Red* Onion Soup )

And Tom just picked greens from the garden -- curly mustard, kale, and turnip greens. The beets I bought still had their greens so I trimmed off the end and threw them in the pot too.

( Greens that aren't cooked to death, from some random blog )

Spencer made a cake of cornbread and some tuna salad [I have no idea why he made tuna salad, but he did. I didn't eat any because I don't like tuna or the concept of "salad"]. It was a very lovey meal, even if it was 20 degrees too hot for it by the time it was ready.

I made the soup on Saturday when it was still rainy and wet, it was very satisfying. I stashed some away in the freezer for the next cold snap.

I just took a good look at my Y October schedule. In addition to 4 step classes and 2 Pilates classes I'm teaching *9* spin classes. One of which is a 90 minute challenge ride.

Dude. I need to get working on some new playlists.
