The temperatures and even the smell of the air?  I have and I am loving it!!!  Before you run inside to turn on the heat, and start adding comfort foods to your grocery list, how about putting on a different hat, and head to local farmers markets, or stores, you KNOW will carry seasonal items?  It will do you a lot of good, like:

• waistline, check
