A Great Fall Weekend...

We had a really nice Fall weekend full 

of fall colors and delicious home cooked 

meals shared with friends.  

For dinner Saturday night, 

I braised turkey drumsticks--in an Osso Bucco style-- 

served over Parmesan Polenta...on the side, we had

grilled Radicchio, that we topped with gorgonzola and a balsamic reduction.

The turkey was garnished with a pine nut gremolata with lemon zest--

which helps to brighten flavors.

Really, this was one of the best meals I have made...EVER!

Collection of wonderful recipes here.

I also brought a little bit of fall foliage inside--which is always fun and dramatic...

I sent Greg out to poach this branch for me...

 It was also Magda's last soccer game--she played awesomely!

(She looked good too...)

Great team work!  Go Girls!!

Number 7 in action with her fancy footwork...she is good!

It was a gorgeous day, the girls won their game 

and finished the season with cake.

I love this time of year.
