Seasonal Foods

Seasonal foods? Yes, I love seasonal foods. In the fall and winter I love chili and or chicken soup. In the spring I love salads. But since we are headed into fall we will have to break out the Texas red chili recipe. The recipe is on our website in the Messhall.
With meat!
I picked some of my first ever (FINALLY!) crop of Paw Paws this weekend. They are finishing ripening in a paper bag, and smell heavenly! (Hopefully they will taste that way...)
No, with lawn grass…of course with meat. Just messing with ya. No beans though….
Even though it is still pretty warm in Austin, I made some salted caramel sauce. Over Tillamook vanilla ice cream, it tasted kind of seasonal, at least a change from berries as the topping of choice. To me the real kick off of fall foods is the night when I have roasted squash and roasted pork shoulder. In addition to the fall flavors, they mean that it is cool enough not to be concerned with heating up the kitchen.
Lots of good stuff is now coming into my kitchen. Mushrooms especially Boletus, chestnuts, pumpkins, goose and duck and the wine harvest has started here.
Especially the chocolate version.
Especially-especially in January, when they are half-price.

I remember "back in the day" a lot of fruits and vegetables were really "seasonal" rather than always available due to the miracles of greenhouses and air cargo.
Back in the 70s, the local news show would run a piece about the first load of mandarin oranges being unloaded from a cargo ship fresh from Japan ... round about mid-November if memory serves.
That was one notable example that had some fanfare ... but there were lots of items that had a definite "season" and good luck getting them anytime else.

How Mandarin Oranges Once Marked the Beginning of Vancouver's Holiday Season
An in-depth look at how the role of these little 'easy-to-peel' Chinese oranges has evolved since their introduction to Vancouver circa the late 19th century.
Growing up in Quebec, Tourtière was a Christmas tradition. It has followed me to several provinces and is alive and well in southern BC. Can’t wait!
If you ever find yourself travelling Highway 97, when you get to 70 Mile House be sure to stop at the Sugar Shack!

Frito pie. The season starts with the first chilly Friday night high school football game. Extra onions if you didn't bring a date.
My wife kicks me out of the kitchen for the first few weekends in the fall. She makes dozens of chicken pot pies and beef pies and also makes gallons of chili and beef stew. We freeze most of it and give a bunch of it to our parents and neighbours.
Oh, my. Did you make that? Not a simple task.
Does it get cold in Austin?!?
Cheers to a change in seasons!!!
Yes, it gets very cold, very rarely. As we are in an extended La Niña, not so much.
I remember when we lived across the lake from Seattle. The arrival of Satsumas was a BIG deal. It was in the early 1970s.
Figs, pomegranates and raspberries oh my!!

Ha Ha. No I did not. You are 110% correct - not any easy task.
This, along with a hot and black cup of coffee, makes a great treat!
