Like it all started all over and over again

in Amazing nature (AN)4 days ago

I don't like autumn. There I said it and there is no way to turn back again from it. Autumn feels like a way of that the end is starting and is getting near without any chance of going back from it. And every one repeats itself in the words that come with it as well.

'Ahhh the colors are so nice and the smell outside it so fresh'

Fresh? I call that the scent of when things are starting to decay and the irreversible process has started to the end of it's life cycle.




The contrast with how humans behave then is also really weird. People 'say' they are so rejuvenated from their summer break and are all ready to get back to work and start their normal winter ritual which will last from the upcoming months in the same cycle day after day after day and call it 'that they are so fond of habit'.

But when you are looking more closer at how they behave after summer when you were there the whole time....Well, let's say that you can see that they are run down already in two weeks again and go back in their state of over and over again.

Admitting it? Nehhhh, that will never happen. I'm just amazed on how people choose and decide to live their lives here.

Small disclaimer: This is about people who took their whole 10 kid family to Bali or so over summer time. I realize very much that not everyone has a choice on how they can decide on how to live their lives on this behalf.





Circles and circles

Nature also has everything in circles and in patterns. Trees have the rings of the years, sand on the beach goes in waves and this cool purple thing here? That is called a choggia beetroot.

Aint it amazing how nature can make these kinds of beet roots under the ground and all of this stuff is developing while you aren't even seeing any of it?

It's just super weird so see such vibrant colors coming out of a beet root which you don't see it develop at all.





And of course nature here also has it's quirks while growing these beauties. In the snap here below you can see that there are some dents on the outside of the beetroot and they have an impact all the way to the centre of the beet on the pattern.

It feels like the pattern is out of balance and that shift goes all the way to the inside as well. Like the person who came back from summer holiday who had an experience which also 'shook them to their core' but only later on they realize on that the small dent had such an impact.





Enough on the rant again. I used this beetroot in a recipe which was like a tray back with puff pastry as a dough bottom and these beetroots on top after a little boil to make them more softer.

Together with some soft cooked red onions and some honey and goat cheese this was a fantastic different type of dinner. I didn't enjoy the beetroot though taste wise. You can get the most awesome colors in the inside, but it still doesn't have to taste good.

Just like in nature. The autumn colors can be vibrant, but it still sucks ;)

Sort:  

That tray bake with puff pastry, red onions, honey and goat cheese sounds lovely, even if the beet let you down. Chioggia tends to win the beauty pageant but not the taste test, though roasting it hot with a splash of balsamic or a little orange can pull more sweetness. Your thought about the dent shifting the whole pattern sticks, small knocks really do ripple. If the beet keeps bugging you, have you tried swapping in pumpkin or sweet potato for a similar feel?

The balsamic is a good one! I had a bit in there but maybe it needs some more. Pumpkin is also a good one but those are not ready to eat as yet ;)

You could simmer the balsamic to thicken it, then brush it on at the end for a richer pop without soaking the pastry. While the pumpkins ripen, sweet potato or carrots would slide right in, or even a few pear slices with the goat cheese and honey. Do you like a hint of orange zest or thyme in there?

I've never seen anyone complain so much about the seasons hahaha greetings

hahahahhaha Fair point on this :D We all have our favorite right? Proper summer and flipflop girl here :D

Recipe sounds amazing. That beetroot is candy cooool. Jeez hon who is all post summer bitter? 😆😂 I get it though. It's all a bit boring isn't it - those seasonal habits.

Yeah the boring season starts and I don't want play along in that game ;)
it is a bit of a rant though, maybe I need vacation ;)

Relatable! That decay vibe is strong, like when a stable champ retires. 🍂 On to new races!

Racing time starts!!

I think I have vertigo from looking at that first photo! :)

Awesome pattern right!!

Oh no, I like Autumn and early summers best. Winter is dark and I feel like I have to go to bed as soon as I get up. Spring is always stormy and rainy. Early summer has the long days, which I love. High summer is too hot and Autumn is warm, no rain and no mosquitos so you can sit outside in the sun without being bit to death. Also fruit is at its best.

Hi dear friend! Although I don't agree with you 100% because fall is my favorite season of the year because it's not too cold or too hot for me, it gives us the perfect temperature, it is true that it's a little dull because the plants are preparing for winter, so we say goodbye to the flowers. But thank you very much for sharing your point of view with our community. I hope you have a great day! 😅😁
