5 things to do now (to love the fall) – Italian Cuisine

Autumn has arrived and we wanted to do a thousand things. Here we tell you the most fun and easy ones that will know how to inspire you.

Summer is over. So?
I woke up early, drank a cup of black tea with lots of lemon, crunched two hazelnut biscuits and breathed a little. Fresh but still warm air. Short pajamas and my favorite shawl on my shoulders. Welcome autumn, I told my plants while I was bathing them on the terrace. Welcome to that part of me that I find only this season in which I love to slow down, think a little and smile at the little things. And it is right here, that while nature seems to be preparing for a long sleep, which I like to stay awake to observe while it calms down. Soft, tender and romantic, he invites me to to expand time and to live it with placid awareness. To allow myself the luxury of dwelling on things and continuing to wait for great things. To rebel against the usual idea that after the summer frenzy the best is over and that autumn is just the antechamber of winter. And to love it, know it and live it in all its beauty, here are 5 wonderful things to do in the next 10 days (one every two, from dai

1) Stop time

If you are thinking of returning to the future, stop. Stopping time in the fall simply means giving yourself a day of doing nothing. No shopping, housework, commissions. Time stops passing from breakfast to lunch and from lunch to dinner in a state of unreal calm, supported by unusual and forgotten activities. How to make a tea with leaves, watch it while resting and drink it slowly. Reduced activities like reading books, listening to music and drawing are allowed. Yes, draw, even if you are not capable.

2) Collecting leaves

Even if the trees are not yet lit by red and yellow, they begin to change color. Let's enjoy this moment with a walk in search of the most beautiful leaves. We will take them home, keeping them in a big book between two sheets of blotting paper as we did when we were little. And if you are afraid of forgetting them there, well you think that autumn is also made to forget. Without too many regrets.

3) Take a nap outdoors

Better if in a hammock, between one tree and another. But it's also good on the terrace, lying on a camp bed. If you are super housewives, let's take a nap on the sofa with the cover and wide-open windows. The important thing is to breathe the new air of the new season. Very good.

4) Go for chestnuts

Yes, it's still a little early. But within a few days the first chestnuts will be ready to be harvested. They are a bit smaller than the ones you buy, it's true. But if we collect them we are better. From the first week of October we can start looking for them in the woods closer to home to discover that the most beautiful thing, at the end of the day, will be the time we spent in nature.

5) Make a soup

Seasonal vegetables are perfect for preparing a sweet, delicate and comforting soup. Let's cook it slowly, staying in the kitchen while smelling the air with its pumpkin aroma. Let's enjoy it with the bread we are going to buy from our trusted baker and which we will put in the oven with a drizzle of oil and a handful of herbs. Yes, it's time to turn on the oven!
