Fall Colorful. Ruffino's Lasagna.
The cool, dry weather we've had this fall has given rise to the best autumnal colors I remember seeing hereabouts in a long time. The Chinese tallowtrees are especially glowing, but the crape myrtles are right behind. The sweetgums haven't fired off yet, but they're turning yellow. As always, the most brilliant colors of all come from the many poison ivy vines that grow in the woods.
I didn't want to go out to eat today. The only food on my mind was the lasagna Michael Blahe gave me yesterday at Vianne's. It smelled marvelous all the way home, but I was already over my limit for eating. Today, I was ready. Good stuff. So was the squash and smoked sausage soup and the salad with tomatoes and strawberries Michael gave me.
It's over three years since a day was missed in the Dining Diary. To browse through all of the entries since 2008, go here.
