I like food. A lot.

Fall is amazing. Though I fear I'll become a bit repetitive, I can't help but continue to comment on the beautiful fall we've had here in the midwest. Up until a week ago, we were 68degrees and sunny every single day. Now we're a bit cooler (read: cold) but it's still sunny and lovely. While I have a TON of yardwork to do, I instead lean towards sitting on the patio, drinking a lovely glass of red wine and thinking about food.

Which brings me to my current state of mind: hungry. I think I might be part bear. I'd love to get my self all cozy and fat, sleep for a couple of months, and wake up in the spring. Instead, I've decided to start cooking more regularly.

Tonight, I made baked beets, baked chicken and sweet potatoes. I threw it all in a pyrex pan and shook some olive oil, kosher salt, rosemary and black pepper over it, covered it with foil and stuck it in the oven at 375 for an hour. I then removed the foil, put the oven up to 425 and cooked it for an additional 15 minutes. Finally, I popped the broiler on for 5-10 minutes and got the skin all crispy on the chicken and the potatoes, took it out, and holy cow. Delicious. Seriously. The best part is that it'll be better tomorrow.

Well, if it makes it that long. Grrrr.
