September!!!

Have you ever noticed how busy it feels at the beginning of September? The craziness of getting in the last good long weekend camping trip, the rush to buy all the school supplies and back to school clothes. It starts to get cooler and all of a sudden the mad dash to get all the food we need, the clothes and the rest of what we need to make it through a cold winter. Sometimes I think that we just have some typical actions that come from when we used to need to store food through the winter and stay in our caves/cabins/homes for several months each year.

I have always behaved this way and each September I start to make food. It's a good thing that I own a bakery, because without it, I would not know enough people for all the food that I make. This year we are working on frozen pizzas and it actually took about 6 hours to do all the prep work. Tomorrow we make the pizzas and then we can see how many we get. It's quite exciting really. I have always loved insta-food, however I hate to sacrifice quality and taste for convenience. I am addicted to these new pizzas and I am so thrilled to be able to just take them from the freezer and put them straight in the oven. I am now after enough summer heat, looking forward to the cool fall air and the start of sitting in front of the fire with a nice thick stew and a hot toddy.

Even though we don't often get alot of snow here in Vancouver, The seasons are still distinctive and fun in their own ways. So take a deep breath and enjoy the transition between summer and fall, the labour day holiday weekend that starts off another beautiful season.
