Autumn in the Northwest: It is here again, that season of color and wistfulness, which leaves us wondering what we forgot to do in the heat of summer. All the fruit is in the freezer, and we prepare to celebrate the harvest with friends and family. Best wishes to all for a healthy new season, and please write to share your favorite health tips and favorite healthy meals. There are few adventures more intimate than great fresh foods shared with friends. --Scott and Ruth
