Posted at October 26, 2016, 6:42 am: Actually I find each of the four Seasons enjoyable(except maybe the middle of winter) and that each brings items to the table that are uniquely seen during those times. Spring, with it's fresh awakening of items moving from the heavier to the lighter. Summer with much lighter meals, more grilling/smoking and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. Fall seeing the final havests of all the summers efforts with meals starting to take on a more "comfort" feeling. Pumpkins, apples harvested, more varieties of squash available and final smoking of meats for the year and preserving foods to prepare for the winter Then there's the beginning of the Holidays. Last is Winter. Well this seems to be the long haul season since the "best" Holidays actually occur during fall and the first weeks of winter. So for me Fall is my favorite season. Don't get me wrong, I love all the "new" things of Spring, Summers grilling/smoking, Margaritas on the deck etc. It's just that Fall seems to be the time to showcase my passion for foods. The cooler days make for the enjoyment of more "comfort foods" like Meatloaf, stews, soups, roasts, fresh baked breads, desserts, pastries, and some of the items from my training. Also for me there's less repetition in items. There is a cooler season in each of the continents plus just think of all the European countries and their cuisines that have a Fall season. Plus there's the challenge of keeping them on the healthy side with-out loosing character or taste. And we/I took up canning to stock the cabinets and store room with items. Granted it's a chore but... allot of fun too. Especially since my wife came up with the idea of presenting some of my items to family and friends as gifts for the Holidays. And then there are the Holidays. From Thanksgiving turkey thru New Years Roast (this year it will be Beef Wellington. And yeah... I know the last two are really winter but... ) Anyhow the traditonal foods I grew up with like lasagne, Baccala, Ravioli, Braciole, homemade pastas or Gnocci, dried sausage and even fresh Pizza plus the chance to make things that are only made for those special events like Swedish meatballs, Jagerschnitzel, spaetzel, Sweet and sour cabbage, braise short or spare ribs, rissoto, Ettouffe, soups, stews etc, is what makes it exciting and enjoyable. Well I know I haven't said that much about food yet but I will continue to add items as the season progresses. Maybe there are some recipes or ideas you wish to share so have at it. I would love to see what some of ya'll consider your favorite seasons and what foods you like to prepare.
