roasted pumpkin & cauliflower Thai red curry

With pumpkin season in full swing in the northern hemisphere & pumpkins & winter squash readily available across the globe, I thought a quick & simple Thai curry would be just the thing to share for a quick-fix meal or make ahead & freeze. Roasted wedges of caramelized pumpkin, perfectly tender cauliflower & crunchy French green beans bathed in a creamy red curry sauce served

apple sangria

There is no time of quite like autumn. The beautiful colors as the leaves start to change, the prospect of making pies, soups & stews, that sense of nesting. The nights get longer as the days get shorter. Fires crackling. Warmer clothes. And apples. I never truly appreciated the new season's apples until I moved to North America.

Here is the before & after together & then

Nightstand before & after

We have a very big bed - both tall & wide. So tall in fact I need a step to get into it so I don't throw a hip out for the mount & dismount. When it came to finding a nightstand/bedside table for my side of the bed I couldn't find anything tall enough (looking back now I have no idea why I didn't get Lawrence to make me one). I eventually did find one somewhere in our Minnesota travels
