Apologies

Last I checked, it was August.

Seriously.

And now it's the month of pumpkins, warm beverages, butternut squash, and soups. Summer menus are slipping away, in their place lists of tempting and warming comfort foods. Maybe it's time for me to put away the tank tops and flip flops and take out the sweaters and boots.

Guess this is what happens when things get busy at work the same month I have three vacations planned. Right. The blog writing... well, it slips through the cracks.

But stay tuned. Soon to come: reports from Charlotte, the Bay Area, and (oh yeah) restaurants in and around D.C. Plus, what's my favorite celebration of the year? Here's a hint - it happens every day, somewhere in the world.
