It is suppose to be fall, but it is to be 85 today and 85 tomorrow. We aren't suppose to have real fall temps until Oct. 17. But I want some fall type food, so I am going to roast some butternut squash and sweet onions on the Memphis Pro and take some homemade chicken stock and make myself some butternut squash soup.
This will probably have to wait until Sunday though because we have a big weekend here in Mayberry. Saturday morning is the car show at the BSVFD and Bent and I are helping with the cooking. Even more exciting? It is Farm Tour Weekend!!! This is an annual event where agribusinesses in the county open their doors to visitors. On the tour are small veggie farmers, bee keeping and honey, a llama farm, the Master Gardener Demonstration veggie garden, a working cattle operation ("Moving Meadows"), a brewery on a farm, and best of all this year, a dairy farm which will demonstrate their automated milking machine. I know, we country folks get excited by small stuff, but it is pretty neat and you get to drive all over the county and see a lot of different agricultural businesses.
