 DS> Is that early for you?

Well yes and no. We had a warmer than usual Sept. and stayed frost
free right up until the 30th which is late for first frost here. But
then it got cold right away in Oct and the first snow, which was on
the 3rd, stayed. Usually we get a series of sprinkle and melt until
late in the month.

Looking over the two months taken as a whole I guess you can say it
was an average fall. [g]

Re: the next recipe... were you on rec.food.cooking on Usenet when
"Buffy Lyer" was posting. "She" was a master troller who went on
for months playing the ultra-naive middle aged hick touring the
country and discovering regional cuisine. (The recipes were good.)

  We decided to leave Cajun country and head to New Orleans,
  although Henry Charon was heartbroken that Sheryl Ann was leaving.
  There was much hugging and crying between him and Sheryl Ann and
  she saying, "Parting is such sweet sorrow" and promising to return
  for Mardi Gras and such drivel. Neither of us had even been to New
  Orleans before, which is called The Crescent City, probably
  because they are famous for their good food, including the
  crescent croissants that you can get at The Cafe Du Monde near The
  French Market. It is also called The Big Easy, probably because it
  is easy to get to, being on the river and all.  Once again we
  arrived without reservations, which is usually the case when
  you're travelling by car and going with the flow of things, but
  lucky for us Sheryl Ann had a  cousin named Lu Lu who ran a hotel
  for women right there in the French Quarter on Rampart Street and
  she said to look her up if we were ever in town, which we did. She
  was very gracious and said, "Come stay with me! I'll just put
  Bambi in my room." Lu Lu's place was down a side street and was
  easy to find, because there was always a red light bulb burning
  above the door, although all the cab drivers in town seemed to
  know her already.  It was very elegant, too, with lots of sofas
  and red wallpaper in the parlor. She explained that a lot of her
  girls had jobs in the house tutoring men to read and write, and
  men were arriving at all hours of the day and night and going with
  one or another or the girls to her room for an hours worth of
  tutoring. The rest of the time the girls just sat in the parlor in
  their nighties and watched the stories on television and did their
  nails. A woman named Josephine lived with them and cleaned up the
  rooms. She was an excellent cook too, and each night she would
  make us a delicious southern meal, which we would all eat in the
  dining room at a table under a beautiful crystal chandelier. Then
  the girls would go back to their tutoring.  We had this dish one
  night.

  Heat oil in skillet. Add flour. Stir until roux becomes dark
  brown. In another skillet brown beef and pork. Add onion, bell
  pepper, garlic, onion tops and parsley. Saute until vegetables are
  wilted. Add chopped oysters, salt and pepper to taste. Add roux
  and simmer on low heat 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set
  aside and cool.

  Prepare pastry:

  Stir biscuit mix, red pepper and salt together with fork. Cut in
  shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives. Sprinkle water until
  dough can be worked into ball. Divide in half. Roll out very thin,
  cut into 3-inch rounds. Place 1 tablespoon meat filling in center.
  Fold in half.

  Crimp open edges together with fork. Bake on ungreased sheet in
  preheated 375F oven 20-25 minutes until golden brown. (Can also
  make 1 9" pie)
