Autumn in New York

As briefly mentioned in Larisa's harrowing story below, we had a grand 'ole time at our Fall Harvest meeting on Monday. Larisa's soup was amazing and it's going to be near the top of my "to try" list of recipes. Besides being gorgeous, it had a rich, sweet taste and velvety texture.

Kendra, our lovely hostess of the night, made a maple syrup glazed roast pork loin. I forgot to get a picture of it before we sliced in, but you can see it on the plate below. It was juicy and the glaze was just right.

Taking on the vegetable once again, I cooked down some ratatouille. When thinking of fall vegetables, this simple stew of tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, onion and herbs leapt to the forefront of my mind.

To end our evening of laughter, stories, recipe sharing, and talk of borrowing Kendra's loveable dog and forgetting to return him, our hostess whipped up a dessert of roasted pears and ice cream. Although it didn't feel like fall with temps reaching 80 degrees, I think we've prepared ourselves for the autumn in New York that is to come.
