Everyone knows the Bay Area summer has a second kick, come October. The long sunny days and cool evenings are something to look forward to. Especially after the Summer we endured, with fires encroaching from all around. Now that our country house was set up and we had started to get into a rhythm: coffee with views of the rolling fog over the vineyard, baby morning naps, and evening BBQing, we were able to appreciate the views, the fresh blue air, and the changing kaleidoscope colors of orange, red, and yellows.

After Halloween, Thanksgiving and plenty of squash (link to recipes coming soon!), we started to enjoy evenings by the wood fire.
