It's the month for giving thanks for our bounty! The colorful cornucopia comes to mind.
Of course, sometimes the bounty around us can be less than friendly. Our bodies assume we have to worry about scarcity, but our problems these days, in the "western world" at least, are the diseases of affluence. So our helpful bodies are storing for us, while we sit at a banquet table any time we'd like.
The "bounty" of the Halloween candy is over. Do you have any you need to hide, dole out slowly, or even toss? Are there aisles in the store and sale signs you need to avoid? (smile)
How will the change of seasons change your menus in the coming months? Have you preserved any foods that will be pulled out for upcoming meals? RunKitty mentioned sweet potatoes (a favorite of our family) last month and got me to thinking about the seasonal foods. (and that we're generally blessed that those can almost be found year-round) I noticed the honey or champagne mangos are back in the stores here after being absent in August and September. Did anyone make something delicious from the pretty pumpkins or winter squashes?
