Going Into Fall

Tweet

It's the first day of Fall. This means cooler weather, warmer clothing, and heavier food choices. As has been the common gripe in the media is HIGH FOOD PRICES. So when have any of us not seen that? The president is always blamed whether Republican or Democrat. In my opinion, the pandemic is high on the list of why there are the high prices. Supply chain disruptions began at this time and continue in some areas. Not only are prices up but availability is low. I is becoming harder to find those things I used to buy all the time. Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, commodity prices have gone up. That has continued for a couple of years now. And, weather enters into it too. Droughts and extreme heat have caused reduced fruit and vegetable production. That means higher prices on what is available. Something I have noticed too is the shrinking size of certain products and charging more for them. It's really old hat to just blame the president but seriously folks. I am looking forward to pinto beans with a tasty ham hock and cornbread. I have eaten very few meats in the spring and summer months but will be making up for that soon. I will put some hamburger in the navy white beans we will be fixing. Taco Tuesdays. Corned beef and cabbage, some pork loin, and turkey around the holidays will be good too. I taught my daughter how to make potato soup(so easy) and she does a great job. I being the Idaho tator tot that I am have to have a lot of potatoes in the winter months. How about you? What dishes will you be fixing in the fall and winter months?
