I can almost smell fall in the air here in Cary. Almost! I’ve found some beautiful end-of-season tomatoes, radishes, baby greens and peppers for next week, and while I was in Whole Foods the other day and just couldn’t help picking up these gorgeous mushrooms

I was going to put them on the menus this week, but ate ‘em myself instead
