Fall has its perks

I think summer is my favorite season. I love warm evenings outdoors, hanging poolside and an excuse to make homemade lemonade. The sun and heat held out almost until Halloween but now it is definitely fall. And it is definitely windy. And definitely cold.

But there is a brightside- warming up a cold kitchen by baking fall treats like this Pumpkin Spice Pecan bread I made over the weekend. I topped it off with a vanilla glaze and more pecans. It was delicious.

I gave half of it to my in-laws. My father-in-law said I would be his "write in" candidate for president. You know, normally I would be mad that someone would throw away a vote. But I'm pretty sure Obama will sweep California and, hey, it's a vote for me. That's not a waste. So, Steve, you deserved that delicious pumpkin bread-- you did remember to write my name in, right?
