"Between Seasons" Happy Hour... Tempted by Fall Flavors

It's tough to think much about fall when it's 80+ degrees outside and we're still spending weekends at the beach. The only thing that really denotes *fall* here in Southern California is that school has begun. Luckily, fall foods begin surfacing in our markets, helping to remind us that there is indeed a change of seasons soon at hand. Fall is the season in which I most enjoy cooking and baking.
