fall in love




working on, testing new desserts for fall - sketching and cooking a lot....
was thinking of baked apples filled with a brulee but then ended up cutting out an apple creme brulee with biscuit cutters and placing on filo rounds. The textures and flavors were perfect. Meanwhile tommy left for Florida tosee Elliot. I don't know if it is because he just informed me he's going swimming that i am feeling especially cold here right now...or perhaps that's just october 3 in Chicago, finally. it's been so nice here we've gotten used to summer.
He left me this love note, written on the chalk wall in letters 5 feet high! like a bandit in the night, for me to find this morning when i got home from dropping him at the airport. Lovely.
We'd spent the day yesterday cleaning, organizing, cooking and moving his vinyl collection (of over
2000 albums) up 3 flights of stairs...fun to have such a variety of music back in the house.
