In a desperate attempt to channel the feelings of good old American fall, I started off today with a homemade pumpkin frappuccino and proceeded to bake pumpkin breads in several variations.

No new boots or comfy sweaters were in the cards for my attire, though, no matter how high Andy blasts the A/C. A raincoat would have been more useful. The seasons are a-changing here too. Rainy season has rolled around once again.

It’s better than the hot season, sure, but I’d still rather have crisp air and colorful leaves.

What are you fall favorites? (Especially things I can recreate from afar.)
