If it looks like fall. If it smells like fall. If it feels like fall. If it tastes like fall.
Hey, man, maybe it is almost fall.
*Chicago is still working on the looks like part.
It's the time when I can no longer deny the daylight hours are indeed getting shorter. (Yes, I know starting at the summer solstice days get shorter and shorter from there. I did work at a planetarium and learned some stuff while I was there.) But now it's obvious & impossible to deny. There is less day light out there, ya'll.
The feeling of things to do inside vs the continual list of outdoor activities of summer. I think it feels something like what pregnant ladies go through in their nesting phase. (Personally, I have no idea what that actually feels like.)
-I feel the desire to reflect and get myself on track
-I finally want to put the finishing touches on the dress I started in May
-I'm filled with ideas how to alter items I bought over the summer
-scrapbook!
-diy projects in general
And I actually feel ready to be back in the kitchen. Good bye tomato & mustard sandwiches, although I do love you, it is no longer your time to shine.
Saturday I threw together a delicious indian dish & yesterday I wanted a full out fall meal.
Chili it is.
This meal was inspired by my chili craving & also Stanley's 29¢/lb tomatoes (They were on the edge of going bad & needed to be used fast.)
My approach to making chili is a little something like this: throw a bunch of veggies, beans, spices & jalapeño peppers in a pot. Maybe that makes it a soup? What's the difference between soup & chili? What's your approach?
Mine ended up super spicy as I threw in both chipotle and jalapeño peppers. No removing seeds for me. My nose was running and I was loving it. I'm not sure I could serve it to anyone else though because in the past when I've served things I didn't think were too spicy, I learned otherwise.
Then I took a few bites of an apple that was also on extreme sale. It was ok, but on the way to going bad. So I thought about throwing it away, but then decided some baked apples sounded delicious.
Cornbread to accompany. Bam fall meal!
Maybe you think this is a bit extreme. Well, I've eaten nothing but plain rice & oatmeal (with a bit of salt) the past two days so I was ready to bring it! (Because I was sick, not because I'm on some strange diet. Only carbs?)
Oh man I had my meal and I was so ready for The Mindy Project & New Girl premiers last night. Any other fans out there?
(I actually watched the season premier to The Mindy Project last week because they released it a week early, but I watched it again.)
Hellooooo fall. You're making me feel inspired right now so keep it coming!

Soooo full!
Yeah, the cornbread didn't come out in one piece. I break it apart anyway. What the difference?
And I like to sit on the floor. Friday night I went to a friend's for dinner and while she explained we would have to sit on the floor around her coffee table (she doesn't have room for a table) and I said I prefer sitting on the floor. The girls said, "Wait, Lisa, you have a table." Me: "Yeah, I know, but I'd rather sit on the floor."
