Quintessentially Autumn

With the new house and Kate's new job and Mark's deer fence odyssey, meals have gone a little downhill recently. There's even a nasty rumor that investigators found evidence of frozen fishsticks on the premises, although all suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Tonight was our rendition of a religious revival: two kinds of sweet Genesis squash brushed with butter and thyme, then roasted with rich cherry-wine venison sausages from the farm around the corner. We just threw it in the oven, and an hour later this deliciousness emerged. Nightcaps will be buttery molasses bran muffins now cooling in the pan.

Goodbye, vegetarianism!

The squash looks amazing!
The muffins sound amazing.

Can't get with you on the venison though - lol.

I was very skeptical of the venison at first. Our neighbor offered us the sausage and Mark made me take it. I was surprised how much I liked it, probably because it had some pork mixed in there.
