Fall Favorites

Princess Knits is doing a contest asking for fall favorites - I'm all for having a a chance to think about good things about colder weather! So here goes:

1. Favorite fall book to read
The Mammoth Hunters, by Jean Auel. Most of the action takes place over the winter, so it's a good one to read in a cozy home.

2. Favorite fall soup to eat
Senate Bean Soup, but I buy mine in a can

3. Favorite fall stew to eat
My boyfriend's beef-and-wine stew

4. Favorite healthy muffin recipe
Sparkling Cranberry Muffins are definitely my favorite, but I don't know how healthy they are.

5. Favorite fall tree
Persimmon!

6. Favorite fall knit
Socks that I'm wearing, and Christmas presents that I'm making
