This morning I stood chopping leeks in front of the kitchen window and watched gusts of wind flutter leaves to the ground. Yesterday it was over 90 degrees in Pasadena; today the light is grey and cool and rain drops smatter the sidewalks.
Fall is beginning, isn't it? And though I'm not in school, I am burying myself in books. Two parcels arrived today:
--The Associated Press Stylebook
--2009 Writer's Market
--The Copyeditor's Handbook
--The Chicago Manual of Style
--The Synonym Finder
--Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
Thick yummy word books to get lost in.
My new favorite recipe is from a recent issue of Bon Appetit Magazine called Leek Confit. It's a delicious treat on almost anything. Last night I had it with seared eggplants. Today, I'm having it on top of Ethiopian Lentils. Yum.
