Fall in Austin, TX means temperatures in the lower 90s/upper 80s until late October. Maybe a quick three day blast of 50/60 degree weather here and there from the cold fronts that start spilling in. Then, it might just might dip down to the 70s until December. :) The leaves do start to turn come October though...either from the oppressive heat for months on end or just the normal fall leaf dropping...
I do start to make more soups though. I love squash soup, and it's a very comforting kind of food. That and bean soup...usually with a Mexican flavor to it.
