With the cooling in the air and the leaves beginning to fall my mind has traveled to Autumn and the tastes of richness in flavors, more spices for sure.
Pumpkins have been delighting me. As I do my occasional visit to the market several have come home. I think that little orange pumpkin will soon be in a pumpkin bread full of spices soon.
There was one more teatime in the garden this week.
The tea was a Bourbon Black tea from Elmwood Inn and the cookies were a new to me recipe from King Arthur Baking website. This ginger spice cookie will definitely be a repeat, it was just the right amount of ginger and chewiness with little bits of crystallized ginger.
Bringing out the French table cloth each Autumn sings to my heart. With past visits to France it sits in my heart with joy. The teacup was brought back from one of those trips also and is quite old. Treasures from travel that I can enjoy for many years makes me smile in remembrance each time I see them.
This week I received the Victoria Magazine book, Our Hearts are in France, and it reminded me once again how I loved traveling to France and how my heart wants to go once more. My little garden teatime was in celebration of those travels in Autumn.
Homemade caramel corn has also appeared in my home recently.
Caramel and spices just say Autumn.
May your days be full of spices and joy.
Happy weekend, dear friends!
