Fallin' into the Hodgepodge

It's officially Fall, y'all!

    ..... In the northern hemisphere anyway.
    Any signs of it where you are?  

    Not just yet ... this is last year's pix.

    What's your favorite thing about this time of year? 

These cool mornings are the best!
Too, the falling leaves.   They present a mess; I have to vacuum every day ... but they intoxicate my senses.

Have you visited any 'falls' in person? Tell us about one of your favorites? Of the following top ten famous falls which would you most like to see in person-

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), Igazu Falls (Argentina/Brazil), Niagara Falls (US/Canada), Angel Falls (Venezuela), Yosemite Falls (California), Dettifoss (Iceland) Kaieteur Falls (Guyana), Plitvice Waterfalls (Croatia), Gullfoss-Golden Falls (Iceland), or Sutherland Falls (New Zealand)

I'm going with Niagara Falls (US/Canada).
#1, because I don't have to leave the Country ..... and #2 I don't recall much from my first visit in the '50's.  I only remember being fascinated by tales of those daredevils who chanced going over the Falls in barrels.  

What's something you'll miss about summer?

Not a darn thing!   

A favorite fall recipe?

I don't know if this qualifies as a favorite; I'll making it for the first time later this afternoon.  It reminds me of something I used to love while living in West Texas.

Frito Pie

Line the bottom of your slow cooker with 2 bags of Fritos
Cover with 1# (est.) browned loose meat (chuck)
Add 2 cans Enchilada sauce

Fold meat and sauce.  Gently, so as not to break the Fritos!

Spread 1 can refried beans across the mix
Sprinkle with onion (to taste, I'm using 1/2 lg. white)
Sprinkle that with green chiles (or not, depending on your taste buds)

Cover with 1 packet Taco Seasoning
Cover with Mexican style (or cheddar) shredded cheese

Cook on 'high' for about 30 minutes
... and scoop to serve!

I'm going to add a dish of sour cream on the side, perhaps jalapenos for those who'd like.

Something you enjoy but lately have allowed it to 'fall by the wayside'?

I seriously need to make time for my lady friends.
Sharon keeps asking to come over for coffee and Cindy's always up for lunch.
Not having had the in-person company of like-minded 'girlfriends' since 1970-something, they're a blessing! 

Insert your own random thought here.

            This ...

Thank you. 

Hugs, Myra
