Good morning, bjh, and thank you!

Rank the seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall/Autumn, in the order you like them most to least:
(and please tell us what you like/dislike about each season)

1.Fall (in the south, so basically October and November) - I love the crispness of the air. Love the holidays.

2. Winter (again, in the south because I don't like much snow, so December through February) - I love Christmas and I love long, dark nights with a fire crackling.

3. Spring (in Texas, so March through June) - I love cool temps but I don't really like COLD temps. I love Texas wildflowers. I also really like rainy and stormy weather.

4. Summer (in Texas this goes from the end of June through September, which is too long IMHO): We are in the dog days of summer right now and to be honest, I'm not loving it.

Tell us some seasonings you like and with what dishes: I love garam masala in beef dishes. Tony's on just about anything.
(ex: cinnamon with apple pie; basil with tomato soup, etc.)

-Sweet dishes/foods? Sure - I love ice cream, and I also really like tres leche cake. Oh, and pies - LOL. I like cinnamon and I also just really like custardy types of things without much seasoning in them. Maybe vanilla?

-Savory dishes/foods? I love them as well. See above (two questions above). Oh, and garlic, and tarragon and basil (I grow herbs by the way, and use them when I am cooking). Heck, I just like food.

"If I had to live downwind from a factory, I would like it to be one that makes _______bread___________."

(and please tell us what you like/dislike about each season)

1. Autumn
I love the cooler weather, the trees changing colors,

My most favorite time of year! Not too hot, not too cold. Cozy.
Nothing that I dislike about fall.
2. Spring
Nature and the earth's rebirth....comes alive in panoramic color.
Not too hot -not too cold, generally.
I dislike my hay fever though!

3.Winter
I love winter! I love the cooler weather, the peacefulness and calm it usually brings.
I love the coziness....staying home with a book and hot drink, cooking a nice meal.
I love everything about winter except when it gets super icy and hard to get about.


4.Summer
Love all the fresh fruit and vegetables, the greenness of it all.
Don't like the heat, humidity and so many bugs.


Foodie Question(s):
Tell us some seasonings you like and with what dishes:
(ex: cinnamon with apple pie; basil with tomato soup, etc.)

My most used spice is garlic...I like Herbs de Provence, and Italian Seasoning.
Depends on what I am cooking - many others too.

-Sweet dishes/foods?
Cinnamon on apples and apple pie
-Savory dishes/foods?
Garlic, Rosemary, paprika on chicken

What Say You:

"If I had to live downwind from a factory, I would like it to be one that makes Coffee or bread."

Fall, spring, winter.... No, fall, winter, spring.... Wait a minute....Fall, summer....

I guess I can say fall is my favorite, but after that it's too hard to decide. I think all the seasons have something positive about them.

Downwind from a factory - bakery. Or BBQ.
