A Brand New Month

A neighbor's ode to Fall







I lost a book. It wasn't a very big book. Nor was it a very expensive book. But, I lost it and it is bugging me senseless. I bought this book a few years ago when I first became interested in adding more variety to my vegetable knowledge, palate, and plate.

As you may have surmised the book mostly sat on a shelf and my vegetable prowess remained status quo, with the same old notes being played and sung. Every few weeks the interest would re-emerge, the book would come out, some notes would be taken and then, nothing. 

The book would go back on the shelf in one clutter clearing frenzied moment to be forgotten about until the next time. 

Saturday just passed was the next time. All shelves checked. All stacks reviewed. No book. I can not only remember the last time I had it but of course, cannot remember where I stuck it. 

The book is lost. Heck, it may even be gone; donated to the Friends of the Library for the annual used book sale. But, while the book may be lost, the desire to add more variety to my vegetable knowledge, palate, and plate lives on. 

Next up: Spaghetti Squash.

    1. One of the not so great things about the internet - unlimited access to distrations galore.

    1. I think IT may be gone. But there are others and other options. Yes, vegetables waiting to be discovered and prepared.

  6. Where do these lost things go? I swear I spend half my life poking around looking for things I KNOW I must still have somewhere.

  8. Beautiful pumpkin stack. I see these in my neighborhood and wonder what trick of physics keeps them from toppling down! (probably a stake through the heart, but then I wonder how they don't rot...)

    I hope you find the book, and if you don't find the book, I hope you find other delicious veggie recipes. Moosewood cookbooks are a treasure trove of veggie deliciousness, and Pinterest is a rabbit hole of recipes too. I swear I have a gremlin who makes things go missing in my house, sorry to hear you have one, too. :)

    1. I couldn't tell. But I am guessing a stake.

      I have given up looking, though not on finding.;-)

      I have locate some print and digital sources. I just hate the book went missing.

      My forks have followed suit.
