Love Beck’s coffee setup-roick candy!
Seems like it’s been an extra-active food news week. Links here.

Ah fall…
The nights get cooler. Air gets a little denser. Tights and trenches come out. I start dreaming about boots and cashmere sweaters.
And I inevitably get sick. At least a little.
I am teetering on the illness precipe today, 85 degree Indian summer weather nonwithstanding. I have found the best way to medicate is with soup. Something with lots of ginger and chile. Combined with my ongoing hankering for dumplings, this is what you get.
The end result of a long canning process with chooch11
Dinner from last night’s taco leftovers- chicken and peppers with quick caramelized carrots, pickled onions (my new favorite condiment!) and salad on garlic naan.
my take is here. it was too long for tumblr.
