First Frost

 Happy Birthday, Marines.

I think we got our first frost this morning.  A light frost to be sure, but a frost nonetheless.

I made the first gumbo of the season yesterday, not so much that it was cold, but because it was the second weekend in November and I was ready for gumbo.  I never know how ay people I am going to feed for Sunday lunch, and I do not advertise my menu. Many times I don't know what I am cooking until I start cooking.  Still, people show up.  I fed 13 yesterday.

Today, Belle wants something warming, so I think I'll cook a potato soup for lunch. With diced tasso and lots of cheese.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to the grocers.

Bon Apetit. My wife and I used to eat on the 1st cool front that reached us and celebrated with a large bowl of Tlalpeno soup. Chunked up chicken with rice and thick vegetables. Cheese strings up something awful but it tastes really good.
