Dena-

Thanks for the recipe recommendation – I like the idea of adding chanterelles. What a perfect fall/winter combo. You can find more information on Ayers Creek on my previous post – Beans and Grains in the Willamette Valley revisited. There are a couple of links there to more information.

I wish I had another recommendation; I am merely chiming in to say YES PLEASE — more restaurants serving local, sustainable food at *reasonable* prices.

YUM! And so simple. I am so gonna try this one. I made a butternut squash soup this fall that is really delicious, too. Why are squash soups so satisfying in the cold weather?! I'd love to hear more about Ayers Farm -- they sound amazing.
