Sorry  for the month-long dry spell.  Things got a little out of hand.

There was a wedding (congrats, Brian), I had to keep the house from burning down in an electrical fire, and work and the holidays started sneaking up.

Hopefully, however, I’ll be able to get a little bit more back on track.

Update: No reason to freak out, I just had a bit of a short in an electrical box for the bathroom lighting.  But, like any home repair project in an old house, it takes an inordinate amount of time.  Had to install new junction boxes, remove damaged wiring, run new wiring, and splice it safely back into the original circuit.  All in the attic.  With armored cabling.

So, I’m in a food funk.

I had a good dinner on Sunday for our wedding anniversary, but lately I just haven’t been feeling the food love.  Case in point: dinner last night – tuna salad sandwiches.  Dinner Monday?  Canned soup.  Dinner tonight?  Leftover tuna salad.

I haven’t fully changed seasonal gears yet, which is part of the problem.  Summer goodies are becoming more scarce, but so far I have not really managed to get the fall goodness under my skin.

That being said, it is starting to be apple season.  I need to get up to the orchards and find myself some Stayman Winesap apples.  If you haven’t tried these, do so.  They’re an heirloom variety – no super-sweet hybrid, this.  It was developed in the mid-1800s and is a beautiful apple for cooking as well as an unusual treat to eat out of hand.  It’s not a pretty fruit – dull red with a brownish bloom.  The flavor, though, is intensely sweet-tart and winy.  Many orchards grow them to add depth to their pressed cider.
