The 3 Months of Fall

With Fall officially starting September 22nd, and the Florida weather still on the warm side.  I truly start the seeing signs of fall beginning in October.

As Frank mentioned in a previous blog, the first thing that comes to mind when I see the first sign of changing colors and cooler temperatures is the vegetation of the gourd-like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae (which also includes gourds.)  So I think he would agree to dedicate this month, "The month of the Gourds."  Now we missed this month entirely, and I would like to apologize to the viewers out there and the supporters of this blog.  I have to thank Frank for getting out a blog about a shared passion in the beginning flavors of the Fall months just in time.

November is here and Thanksgiving is around the corner.  I feel that it is only fair to dedicate this month to the fowl.  Chicken, quail, game birds, ducks, geese, and yes of course the turkey.  All beautiful in their own right and a popular answer to many chefs and cooks alike to the allusive question, "What would you eat for your last meal?" or "If you were to be stranded on an island, what animal or ingredient would you bring?" To wrap up this month, we will be hitting the streets of Orlando, looking for the best fowl preparation in the time given, and report back to you. Now Thanksgiving is an Epic meal and we will be expecting photos of yours. Send us your photos via Facebook and we will post the best ones.  (Not a friend yet you say? Just send us a friend request...its that easy.)

The December month wraps up the fall season saying goodbye just before Christmas.  Since I excluded the 8 days in September, I am tagging them onto the end of December making Winter December 31.  Making this month the "Month of the Swine," because I cannot think of a better animal that is appropriate in every season but particularly shinning in the fall.  A true head to tail season for the pig, and that's just what we will be doing in December.  We are going to start at the head and make our way to the tail in the month of December letting you know where we stopped along the way.  Looking forward to this one personally, and if we are lucky I might be able to snap a picture of Frank loosing his meal eating some of the "undesirables."

The LBC is back on the move, so stay tuned, again sorry for the absence, and thanks for all the support!
