I Put Fall on a Plate
Happy first day of fall. So naturally, I have to show you one of the most aggressively fall things I’ve ever put on a plate. Maple-glazed pork chop. Apple and pearl onion chutney.

I somehow became the president of a student organization at school. There is always laundry somewhere in my house that needs to be folded, dishes in the sink,…
