What are you cooking this weekend?
It’s still pretty warm in Minnesota, butI have to admit… I’ve been influenced by the onslaught of fall stuff all over the internet. I’ve starting to think about squash recipes, including this kabocha squash soup from my friend Graham Elliot. Here are my 9 favorite fall squash recipes. You’re sure to find something you love.
This week’s questions:

I went to an apple orchard last weekend and am so overwhelmed by the amount of varieties! What’s your favorite for baking? What’s your favorite for eating?

You recently said it’s been a long time since you took a “real” vacation. I realize this is hard to answer… but what’s the best vacation you’ve ever taken?
Here in Northern Virginia we have access to great apples from PA, MD, and VA. (IMHO the one produce item that gives California a run for its money.) The best apple I ever ate was a variety called Arkansas Black. It is a late season apple related to the Winesap (also great). The Arkansas Black had a beautiful scent and intense apple flavor. Also really love the Goldrush and Crimson Crisp varieties.
