The apple of my taste.....

It's this time of the year again when days are still warm in the morning and get chilly in the evening. The almond picking has started in the valley; soon most families will start making their own sweet wine called el mosto. I could drink a whole jug of it but it's quite treacherous so I usually keep to one glass.
There is no autumn as such here in Andalusia. The locals say aqui pasamos directamente del verano al invierno...here we go directlly from summer to winter...well it's not exactly true but we take pleasure in saying que frio hace por la mañana...ya se ha ido el verano! It's cold in the morning...summer is gone!

This morning I went to the market only to get a glimpse of the red and yellow heaps of various apples. I don't know why but I always see apples as a happy fruit just like cherries or apricots. May be because it's round and has several varieties.

I'm contemplating to make tarte tatin over the week end to get in the autumnal mood.....
