Fall is, arguably, the busiest time of the year for a gardener. That's me, I'm a gardener. I find myself spending most of my spare time, weather permitting, cleaning up the garden. Fallen leaves are everywhere... They seem to particularly enjoy accumulating under the thorniest of bushes, where even the strongest electric blower is challenged in getting them out.

Fiesta Friday #455

A Korean BBQ meal seems so special... think tabletop cooking... with lots and lots of side dishes, also known as banchan in Korean. I can make a meal out of the banchan alone!

Do you know what a pawpaw is? Would it surprise you to know that it's a fruit? And that it's native to the eastern United States? Yes and yes, right?! When I first read about the American pawpaw, I thought it was too good to be true. Whaaat... a hardy fruit tree native to this area where I live and it tastes like a tropical custard mix of banana, mango, and pineapple?! Impossible, I thought. Well, I was wrong. It is so possible and so real that such a fruit exists. The problem is... you can't ... continue reading...
