I got out of my car this morning and was stunned to experience the bliss that can be an early November morning in Northern California.  The stars were still out at nearly 7am, there was a warm breeze.  It was eerie but beautiful.  

All that kept crossing my mind was “This is November?!”.  November is when I get so excited each year to start the baking, the lasagna experimentation, the soups.  Yet, at 7am it was nearly 70 degrees!  I am feeling cheated out of my “it’s so cold I need to make something comforting” mood.  Bah Humbug! 

I’ve decided the toowarmforNovember weather can’t step on my bliss.  I see a night filled with some delish mushroom and pancetta risotto and a roasted chicken stuffed with citrus wedges, rosemary and garlic.
