Autumnal touches

I haven't dug into any major projects since the holiday weekend, but I have been trying to touch-up the house with a little fall flair.

I picked up some fake fall foliage from Michael's (how'd ya like that alliteration?!)and have been using it sparingly around the house. Our dining room centerpiece was one place that needed a pick-me-up.


I've also been running out of ideas for ways to use our hot peppers from the garden. Then it came to me...a chili riesta. Here's the beginning of my riesta.
