This week’s weather forecast — Oh, Hi!  Who’s this, you ask?  Ah, ’tis moi.  You thought I’d gone away never to return, yes?  But of course not!

Now, hmm.  Where was I?  Yes, that’s right, the week’s weather: hot, hot, and, um, let me see, more hot.  And even though today we’re being blessed with some much-needed rain, the hours in between the storms are — you got it! — hot!  And sticky!

But here in the Hansen house, particularly the kitchen, we will not let a little (or a lot) of hot weather get us down.  We shall singlehandedly bring on Fall with this week’s menu:

Chicken Chili

Corn and Poblano Soup

Macaroni and Cheese

Pot Roast

and, for dessert: Apple Pie

So, for those of you who are, like me, still searching for Fall, stop by my house for dinner.  Because there’s nothing like a hot bowl of spicy chili when it’s 80 degrees out.

Soup’s on!
