Real talk, friends. It’s October. I want treats, no tricks. The semester is plunging ahead at an alarming rate – week 8, the halfway point, begins tomorrow. There are papers (so many papers). There is lesson planning. There is Chaucer. There is conferencing. There is Toni Morrison. This professor thing is serious.

Though I’ve been cooking up the storm I wish we were having (c’mon, Fall! Hit me!), in between all the other responsibilities that have to come first because, well, that’s what I get paid for, the posting thing is a slow process this tortoise has run out of time for. Again.

Here, then, is the deal. No post today. Sorry. I know. BUT! I’ll make it up to you. I’ve got a doozy for next week with two recipes, and for the week after with another two. That’s right, it’ll be 4 recipes for the rest of October, and all I ask of you, friends, is for this week to get my business in order.

Here’s a preview of what you’ve got to look forward to:

Be well. I’ll be back soon.
