fall = stew.

when the air gets all crisp and the leaves make that quintessential fall sound as the wind blows, all i want to do is curl up with a good book and some tea and make some soup, maybe some stew. last sunday, as i was compiling a grocery list full of hearty veggies and stock, matt and rene called to tell me they'd picked up stew ingredients in marin. we were on the same wavelength. matt led the charge for a spicy, belly warming stew with 6 different kinds of peppers, (we counted). mine is a little more traditional, so we'll give that one a whirl when this tasty version runs out.
