Talking to my brother-in-law in California, we were comparing notes about what was in season at the farmers markets on our respective coasts. The east coast is seeing the fall line-up: squashes, pumpkins, root vegetables, pears, and apples. The west coast always has an incredible variety of avocados. So this is a great marriage of foods from the opposite coasts.
