We've already been having hot tea and have lit a few fires in the evenings, so we are sure opposite from your experience!Jami @ An Oregon Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667526972866583695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-70576019481720605412010-09-24T12:27:46.608-04:002010-09-24T12:27:46.608-04:00I've been thinking of doing some cookbook revi...I've been thinking of doing some cookbook reviews (maybe one a week). Books and Food - Two of my favorite things combined! But I was afraid I'd bore you all to death! <br /><br />But since a couple of you asked about the cookbooks pictured, they are...<br />The Complete Guide to Country Cooking from Taste of Home<br />This book was a wedding gift that I return to frequently.<br /><br />Simply in Season by Lind and Hockman-Wert <br />Recipes are organized by seasons to encourage use of fresh local produce - a winner!<br /><br />Autumn by Susan Branch <br />All of Susan's Heart of the Home books are beautiful! I rarely make her recipes, but her books are inspiring just to flip through.<br /><br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-90534542230521502942010-09-24T09:32:52.149-04:002010-09-24T09:32:52.149-04:00I do agree with you about fall.

It seems fall is not giving up on the rain for now. <br /><br />There is something about a hot mug of cider or cocoa in the evening and just sitting and talking with your husband that is so nice. <br /><br />The cookbooks that you pictured look very good. I love to look through different cookbooks. Going to check these out. Looks like I can get the names from your picture.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833657269211285589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-28340908053294988522010-09-24T08:43:25.998-04:002010-09-24T08:43:25.998-04:00Lovely post, Gina!

So ready for some rainy cool days to just be cozy inside with my babies listening to the rain with some candles lit and drinking hot tea. YES! Sounds wonderful. But have plans to try to enjoy this hot day. Supposed to be in the nineties today... filled the kiddy pool one last time and I guess we'll be swimming the last weekend in September.

But what I really wanted to comment on was your choice of cookbooks for your photo: I LOVE SImply in Season and ordered several dozen as give-aways for the farmers market we started here in our little community a few years back - I even wrote the publishers and suggested it be marketed as THE book for new brides - so much better than others that are marketed as such -and so much more thoughtful. BUT - and this is the point - what are the other books in the photo? One appears to be illustrated with watercolour and calligraphy - and I'm a sucker for anything so imbued with talent, love, and patience.<br /><br />I do hope you'll do a post on your favourite inspirational books soon - culinary or otherwise.<br /><br />PS. my family has greatly enjoyed your recipes for Graham crackers - who knew they could be so easy?? and your recipe for sticky buns - a great favourite of my hollow-legged uber-athletic 12 year old boy!<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family - and thank your for sharing - you give hope and inspiration and I believe this is ministry indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-26528829497789662142010-09-23T17:45:32.538-04:002010-09-23T17:45:32.538-04:00I love Fall and I have that same Susan Branch book...I love Fall and I have that same Susan Branch book. ;o)~Kristin~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07414904472345377597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-17048064338494240522010-09-23T17:41:09.651-04:002010-09-23T17:41:09.651-04:00Apple pie is on my mind!
