Do you enjoy/like autumn?

@Someone here  @Gesundheit

You both are Indians? 

Confused.

Fall and spring always make me feel like I woke up from a slumber . The whole vibe and groundedness change.

Nope but I love the mist. Spring is my favorite.

I usually hike during the summer vacation, and it always strike me it's too hot, that actually autumn temperatures makes it the perfect hiking period

Now I can see why you like autumn. In the city, everything looks gray and sad. Let me know if you want to swap places with me and then I'll tell you if I've changed my mind ?

There's only one season here.

I'm in a "city" (pretty small) too, but there are many natural places

The four seasons are a deep love/hate relationship i enjoy all seasons but summer is the most fun with outside activities and swimming etc.

right now it's blissful

Nice! My little poem to go along with the pic 

 

AUTUMN

 

Leaves falling swiftly

Trees losing crown

Colors of autumn

Yellow, red, brown

 

Coolness of air

Envelopes nature

Animals scurry

Stashing for later

 

Dressed in grandeur 

The forest appears

Sacred festivities

Noticeable here

 

Hills are so gently

Echoing whisper

River so clear

Air's much crisper

 

Marvelous season

Flavors abide

Splendid aromas

Speak of delight

 

Harvest abundance

Nature prepares

To rest until spring new

Awakening declares

@modmyth  yea posting recipe for this soup 

 

 

-2 tbsp oil

-1 inch ginger, finely chopped

-2 clove garlic, finely chopped

-2 chilli, finely chopped

-½ onion, finely chopped

-½ carrot, finely chopped.. I added very little carrot because pumpkin already has a sweet taste so the garlic will balance the sweet taste. 

-3 tbsp cabbage, finely chopped

-½ capsicum, finely chopped

-5 beans, finely chopped

-2 tbsp coriander stem, chopped

-4 cup water

-¾ tsp salt.

-2 tbsp vinegar

-½ tsp pepper powder

-1 tsp chilli sauce

-1 tsp cornflour

-¼ cup water, for slurry

-2 tbsp coriander, finely chopped

 

 

In a separate Kadai, first boil cubes of pumpkin and let the cubes be soft. 

firstly, in a large kadai heat 2 tbsp oil, saute 1 inch ginger, 2 clove garlic and 2 chilli.

also, saute ½ onion until it shrinks slightly.

now add ½ carrot or very small chunk, 3 tbsp cabbage, ½ capsicum, 5 beans and 2 tbsp coriander stem. 

stir fry for a minute without overcooking them.

now pour 4 cup water and add ¾ tsp salt. mix well. You can also add some corn  to complement the garlic. 

boil until all the flavours are well absorbed.

Now add  2 tbsp vinegar, ½ tsp pepper powder and 1 tsp chilli sauce. mix well. You might even add 2tbsp soy sauce also.. I usually add soy sauce but I didn't have in my kitchen so I managed with the chilli sauce. 

Now add the boiled soft  pumpkin cubes. 

In a small bowl take 1 tsp cornflour and mix with ¼ cup water.

pour the cornflour slurry and stir well.

stir and boil until the soup thickens slightly and turns glossy.

now add 2 tbsp coriander and give a good mix. 

I drank so much of the soup before taking the pic so it kinda looks thick. Haha
