Yesterday a slow-braised crockpot of rag made with beef short ribs, served over polenta...so heartwarming you could thaw out the Grinch with it! 
Served with a nice glass of Primitivo, it was a perfect winter supper.

We came close to the first frost of the season this week, although today was in the mid 70's. But the cooler nights have inspired me to break out the crockpot. I've made vegetable soup and crockpot chili in the past week. Tonight I roasted a spaghetti squash and served it sprinkled with leftover pizza sauce and curls of parmesan cheese.
I used to believe that I hated winter squash, but that was based on Grandma BamaVol's serving that nasty thawed mush with Thanksgiving dinner. Fresh baked acorn or hubbard squash with lots of butter and cinnamon is delicious.

For me it's all about the pumpkin pie. Whipped cream optional.

Korean rice cake and dumpling soup (mandu-guk) is also a quite nice lunch dish on a crispy cold winter day. Best accompanied by some kimchi variants and other Korean side dishes and voila - warm stomach and body.

I bought another soup cookbook yesterday. For $4.99, I now have 100 soup recipes all based on a vegetable stock that can be made in bulk and kept in the freezer. Sunday's Soup de Jour will be lentil with smoked ham.

Game! Even the simpler Paris bistrots have hare stew, duck, venison...can't wait!
At home, I make a delicious root vegetable bisque, also stews and more meat dishes than in the warmer months. Time to break out the heavier red wines, too.
