Lily's Thoughts
The most memorable thing when I think of Autumn is the taste of the Harvest Season. Every year, my husband and I drive to Door County. We buy freshly pressed Apple Cider from the Orchard Store. We also pick up some hot and spicy cherry salsa. There's usually a couple of bottles of wine and some cheese curds tossed in the bag, too. Cherry wine, because Door County is Cherry Land. My husband and I have a tradition of going for a romantic picnic to Door County in Mid-October, just before the leaves fall. We stop at the orchard, get our annual goodies and take a leisurely drive along the back roads to view the exquisite foliage, just the two of us. It's our romantic get away. We stop at a little hideaway diner for lunch. We click pictures of the fall landscape. And each year, we repeat the romantic tradition.

So when I think of fall, it's romance and rare harvest foods that come to mind: Hot Apple Cider and my mother's Pumpkin Bars. To me, those two foods paired together are the essence of the season. Those bars are so rich and fulfilling, they aren't typical bars but more like a rich pumpkin cake. I've included the recipe in the pages sidebar in the upper right hand corner, (See Mom's Pumpkin Bars and click) so that you, too, can experience the rich, lush, sweet and spicy taste of Autumn. As I sit before a fire with a cup of hot apple cider and a pumpkin bar, I like to lose myself in a good historical romance.

My favorite fall romance is It Happened One Autumn, by Lisa Kleypas. This is set in Regency England at a country manor house, the big party with guests, a ball, traditional fox hunting and would-be lovers who annoy the you know what out of each other! I love Marcus because he's the take charge type of alpha male. Throughout the book, one thing is made clear; he's in charge. It gets better. Marcus is also rich, handsome, powerful, sexy, a peer of the realm--and well--pretty darned arrogant and full of himself, too. It takes a really unique heroine to bring him down to earth. Lillian is just the woman to do it. She's headstrong and outspoken. She has the chops to stand up to Marcus, something no one else does because he's that much of an alpha male. Lisa Kleypas is my favorite historical romance author. She has given me some pretty sexy, sinful and dangerous heroes to love but Marcus is Lord of the Dance, Lord of the Manor in It Happened One Autumn. Marcus is the traditional and yet new Regency hero, an alpha male all the way. He hunts, he rides well, he fights well, and he cleans up nice for the ballroom and never fails to excite in the bedroom.
