O Tidings of Comfort and Warmth

When it's muy caliente in da summer, I crave salads, fruit, green smoothies, grilled something or other, and sandwiches. But now that it's muy frio, I feel the need to replace the veggies in my salad for veggie soup with cornbread in and the green in my smoothies for a spinach quiche; The lunch meat in my sammies for a sleep-inducing pot roast, with piping hot mashed taters and gravy on the side. As for fruit... instead of peaches and plums, I enjoy apples, cranberries and pumpkin...yum. Oh... and steamy spiced oatmeal with raisins for breakfast, in place of cold cereal, yogurt or, banana wraps. 'Tis the season for warm comfort foods and hibernation- and usually in that order. I think I went a little overboard last night with my veggie soup making though... I had about six quarts left over after me and SG had our fill! I put some in the freezer for another day.

What about you? Do your food preferences change with the seasons?
