The Queue: Soup Season

It happened slowly and in fits and starts, but I feel like it might be, at long last, soup season. For me, it’s also baked pasta season just because I don’t feel sweaty just thinking about running the oven, so let’s not be too picky about it. Of course, in about a week I’m going to be sad that summer basil season is then also therefore over, and also very annoyed at having to wear socks constantly for the next few months, but for now can I interest you in some corn chowder?

The Queue: Fat Bear Week

While I excited it’s finally October so I can let my spooky freak flag fly, it’s also the best week of the entire year: fat bear week kicks off with the bracket reveal today. Who you got?

Rutherford Bear Hayes was unavailable for comment. Because he’s a bear, and doesn’t speak English.

The Queue: Ambiance!

We’re rounding the corner on October. All I really want is to curl up with a book and some soup or baked pasta or chili, but it’s a high of over 90 today, with 81% humidity. Whatever happened to the crisp, windy, fall ambiance? I won’t even get greedy and ask for a thematic Halloween thunderstorm. As a completely basic millennial woman, this feels personal.

The Queue: that time of year again

This Queue was going to be about something else, but this morning as I walked out my front door, I was quite forcibly reminded that there is, in fact, a season in between Humid Swamp and Spooky Pumpkins Season. It is, in fact, currently Joro Spider season — though I guess that could be filed under Spooky Season.. I’ve been knocking down the little webs all summer, but now the survivors are back with a vengeance. And I thought I hated the winter doldrums.
