	I have really nice whole chicken from a local Hutterite colony that is just begging to be turned into something good for autumn; Soup is an option, but I might see about something else. I'll have to think of something by this weekend.

	When fall arrives soups start to appear on the menu. We had chili last weekend (with beans--I ain't from Texas, you know) and pozole is on for next week. As I've mentioned elsewhere we live near apple and peach orchards, so my shop fridge is filled with Granny Smiths and my sons beer. So far, the apples have showed up in apple crisp, fried apples and an ice cream topping. The fried apples are a local favorite that I had never heard of until my Dad was given a cookbook in appreciation of doing some translation of old German farm records. I'll include the recipe here--I don't think I've ever posted it on this forum before. Simple, tasty. Waverly Fried Apples 6 C. peeled, pared and thickly sliced cooking apples (I usually use Granny Smiths) 4 T. butter or margarine .5 C. sugar .5 t. ground cinnamon lemon juice (bottled is OK) Cook the apples in the butter over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until mostly cooked through--about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir in sugar and cinnamon. Continue to cook a few minutes until the apples give up some liquid. If they seem dry add some lemon juice. I like the added piquancy of the lemon juice in any case. Serve warm.
