Friday Feast | Harvest Cornbread


Welcome to the first full day of autumn on Friday Feast in the Tavern!


I spent yesterday by starting with a long morning walk. The scent of a fall breeze brushed across my face and you should have seen my smile. After four wonderful days of rain, the air was crisp and clean. On my walk, I noticed many fallen acorns. It's hard to fathom that within its small shell all the potential of a giant oak tree is held within. I pushed them aside for the squirrels scampering nearby. The remainder of the day was spent in quiet reflective transition of one season flowing into the next.


Did I bake? Absolutely! Did I remember to take a picture of the cornbread for today's recipe? Ha! Nope. Memo to self: Leave a post-it out with a reminder to take a picture before diving into feast.
