Great Pumpkin

We may not look like fall, here in SF, but we eat like it. Case in point: dinner at Incanto last night. JP and I shared, as an appetizer, the roasted autumn veggies: yams, pumpkin, Jerusalem artichoke, parsnip, carrot with olive oil and herbs. We also shared the first-of-the-season Meyer lemon sorbetto, which is sweet and puckery and adorned with candy-like shreds of peel. Remember Italian ice, eaten with a teensy wooden spoon? Much, much better.
Pumpkin again this morning at Chloe's; namely, pumpkin-cinnamon-ginger pancakes, dusted with powdered sugar. Take a moment to admire their spice-swirled orange hue, then douse with syrup.
Soon, oh very soon, pumpkin pah...
