What are you eating on the first day of Fall?

[BlueVilla]

I’m celebrating the Autumn Equinox (9/23) with a vegetarian Oktoberfest meal of Beyond Meat bratwurst and onions, red cabbage with apples, potato pancakes, dark brown bread, and apfelkuchen.

What are you eating?

Whatever's in the freezers
Gotta make room
It's harvest time

 

[horseless carriage]

Chances are this is how Autumn came to be known as Fall.
One Jack Daniels,
Two Jack Daniels,
Three Jack Daniels,
Fall!

Officially, it begins on Saturday, September 23 this year. Here's some info...

Food.

 

[Supernatural]

Yellow split-pea soup with lardons and carrots plus grilled ham and cheese for lunch.

Dinner idea so far, mashed potatoes, peas/carrots or corn niblets with hot gravy beef sandwiches. Just requiring a new bag of delicious perfect frozen mash. Yummy!

Walnut Cake slice or brownies bites for dessert.

 

[Buckeye]

This coming Saturday will be when Ohio State plays Notre Dame, so I will mostly be having typical game day munchies - pizza, wings, mozzarella cheese sticks, chips, etc. Buckeyes are currently 3.5 point favorites.

I guess this is a fitting fall meal. Put it together this morning.

 

[Remy]

Nothing special. I'm glad to hear of your vegetarian meal however.

I did get a box of pumpkin bread mix at Trader Joe's this morning. I make it without adding the egg and it works fine. I won't use the oven until it cools off more but thought I should grab it in case they had a future supply issue.

My German mother used to make that apple cake. I hated it but every one else would rave about it.

I lived in Germany from 1969-1973 (I went to high school there) and I had a friend whose mother was German. Everything she made had beer in it! Since you don't like apple cake, what are your thoughts about Apple Strudel?

Or how about Black Forest Cake... Yummy! Relates to a mysterious area of Germany plus indicating the early blackness of autumnal nights...

Going to do a herbed pork loin roast cooked slow & low w/white wine & stock. I'll make a gravy out of the pan juices. I know I'll be making spaetzle w/sauteed mushrooms & onions. Not sure on the other veggie to have with it. Dessert will be a galette using puff pastry with my home canned spiced pears with cognac sauce. I couple of years ago I found a nice Reisling called Clean Slate that I plan on having with it.

Wow. Are you a gourmet chef?

 

[Naturally]

So far, Chocolate Ice Cream ... but the day is young

 

[Lilac]

No, I just like to eat well. I found a simple roast recipe years ago & over time, through trial & error, figured out other ways to make it better.

 

[Nathan]

Eating homemade chicken and cheese nachos, with homemade salsa.

 

[CallMeKate]

I'm not sure what we'll be having for first day of fall on Saturday... but now that you reminded me, I'll have to think of something fitting.

 

[Jules]

I’ve never heard of having a special meal for the first day of fall.

 

[Lilac]

@Jules, for me fall has always been my favorite time of the year. Celebrating for me started years ago when I was working.

One assignment I had was in a section that had "air condition", or so we were told it did, where we sweated through summer. No matter what we did it to cool it off, it was miserable. There was three of us & the other civilian thought it was great. The deputy & I didn't think so at all. At that time when fall came, he & I were both happy & we'd celebrate. I always brought in a cake for us. She just grumbled because it was going to get cold outside, but it didn't stop her from having cake too.
