A bowl of velvety, warming parmesan polenta is entirely craveable at whatever point that fall feeling hits.
You know when those last long periods of summer simply appear to be changed, beginning with the initial step outside in the first part of the day.
Perhaps there's a chill noticeable all around that wasn't there the day preceding, or the leaves on recognizable trees have an edge of gold or dark red.
