It's almost as if September were the beginning of the year instead of January.
School starts, workdays return to normal patterns and regular work weeks.
September can be a strange month. At times it's full of warm breezes and long Indian summer days, when you have to push the kids out the door to school. But the very next day may be marked by early frost and frantic scrambling to unearth the winter sweaters and jackets. The foods we eat are not exempt from this transition. After a summer filled with barbecues, salads and ice cream, we begin to yearn for roasts, soups, cobblers and crisps.
