Fall Harvest. Show Us Fall Food!

This is pretty much the start of apple season here. Twisp WA has some awesome orchard with old variety apples. Ashmead's Kernel, Macintosh, Spy, etc. Its worth a loop through Twisp WA, Green Bluff near Spokane, and Hood River Oregon. All have spectacular areas to ride and unique crops
Here is my seasonal crop. Gold star to the first person to identify it.

Macs rule in NS. We're having our Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend and the local scoff is amazing. Non-GMO sweet corn, russets, our garden cauliflower and Zucchini, free range turkeys and white wines to die for.
Hams, greens and Creme Brulee will finish us off.

Free range turkey, excellent. We brined one a few years back, and older variety Narragansett. It was phenomenal

Nope. Not in the apple family on this one.

I had original Rod Lavers. And I saw Rod play Stan Smith in Maple Leaf Gardens around '68.

How much for Quince jam?

Bingo! Aromatanaya variety from Raintree Nursery in Morton WA. Quince-apple pie last night. Then membrillo. And a tarte tatin, which come out bright red. Maybe a lamb quince tagine

I posted this photo somewhere last year, I think. If I took another one this year it would look about the same, except the bike shop would be messier.
These are Cortlands, a yellow storage onion. If this thread goes on a little longer, maybe I'll get around to taking a picture of my garlic.

According to a guy I talked to years ago who edited The Bulletin of Sumerian Agriculture (he was an archaelologist), the biblical apple of the Garden of Eden would actually have been a quince, since apples did not arrive in the middle east until much later.

EDIT: My memory is apparently slipping--I just looked it up, and the name of the periodical is The Bulletin ON Sumerian Agriculture, not The Bulletin OF Sumerian Agriculture. Oops.

Hmm, too late for photos of my father's spaghetti squash, butternut squash, and tomato harvest. I gave away tons of the squash, and I canned the tomatoes already. He loves to garden, but does not eat the squash. He also cannot keep up with the amount of tomato plants that he grows.

He's always had massive gardens. I remember childhood Saturday mornings spent snapping garbage cans full of green beans, instead of watching cartoons or playing with friends. My finger tips were always sore afterwards.

We are still harvesting tomatoes, specifically this heritage breed of black/purple tomatoes I don't remember the name of.

Not a clue on the variety. We picked the plant up locally a few years back and it really took. This is the first year I actually picked them.

does a donut with halloween colored sprinkles count?
It was quite delicious!

I stopped at Trefzger's bakery mid-ride to buy this. The nice gal behind the counter started to put it in a bag, and I had to tell her... "just use a tissue... it's not going very far!". I was in my bike clothes, and that was enough for another gal to start to say the same thing to the gal helping me.

Yes, that is the history/mythology. Some guys have even brewed Sumerian beer of a sort, using ancient grains and re created pots
