When I left New York City a few years ago I thought I was so done with "weather" but every year around this time I have a deep and overwhelming desire to experience crisp air, see the bright orange, yellow and red of the fall leaves and eat a lot of apple crisps and squash soups. This weekend some of my CA to NYC and back to CA friends are gathering for a fall potluck feast to share our fall favorites. Here are some recipes that I am pining for.
