We finally got some sub-80s weather here in Austin, and it was like flipping a switch. No gentle transition into autumn for us, no sirreebob. On Sunday, it was 90 degrees. On Monday, the high was about 45 degrees. Talk about whiplash! This abrupt change in weather made me realize two things: 1. I need new pants. I purged all of my old trousers, which were 2–3 sizes too large, a few months back and never replaced them. So I’m wearing a lot of leggings and jeans, which is fine, but sometimes a body likes a garment with structure, one that elongates the legs and allows for knee socks and clunky shoes. 2. When the weather turns cooler, I find myself tinkering in the kitchen more and more. This usually takes the form of pumpkin breads and sweet potato muffins and snickerdoodles and whatnot, but this year I’ve branched out a bit into savory items, thanks in no small part to having subscribed to
