Happy Thanksgiving!

This morning, a salamander greeted me at the front door as I headed out for the newspaper.  The mild temperature and moist weather is perfect salamander weather.

Later, I went out to gather half the herbs for our parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme stuffing.  These home-grown herbs will flavor our stuffed sole, topped with wild bolete mushroom sauce.

Here are a couple of fall photos from a month ago, in Napa.
