Think walking the fair grounds for five hours is enough to burn off that funnel cake? Maybe. If a funnel cake is the only thing you eat. See just how many calories all those deliciously deep-fried fair foods have, and how many calories you're really burning by strolling from food stand to food stand.

Gravenstein apples are at their peak at the farmers' markets, and Pork Cutlets with Apple Dijon Sauce are a good way to use them.

If you've got a glut from your garden, start preserving, or share with your neighbors.

Autumn brings on the new releases from boutique wineries around Washington. And if you went away for summer vacation and want to bring some wine back, here are a few good tips for shipping wine.

I used to live where they grew locally (as in a large orchard down the road!) before my family moved out east. I remember them being terribly delicious, and it's been over 10 years since I've tasted one. I haven't seen them anywhere in stores out east. :( I want to taste a Gravenstein again.
