| Never | cold to life
Late autumn is the best season.
Before the real winter arrives, autumn offers just the right amount of comfort. Winter is a grand festival, but the festival itself is never as happy and warm as the preparation of the festival.
That's why we always celebrate autumn, the wind of autumn is tolerant, soft, and plush — cool, but transparent.
Autumn is also a season of solitude. The nights in midsummer are warm and thick, and if you stay at home, it will seem deserted.
And the autumn leaves are cellophane-like osmanthus wings, even if a person is shrouded in a dusk mist, he will not be alone.
Some of the happy moments eagerly awaited: soft sofa cushions, piping hot soup, last Christmas's favorite record...
Ah, urbanites, if there is no such happy fragment that stretches from the heart, how can you live one dark day after another!
Autumn nights are particularly long. During the long rest time, I always want to swallow some sweet and soft food, so that sugar and oil ferment to taste happy.
The autumn breeze will blow away the guilt together, and the time at home is to be lazy to save enough energy for him to cope with life every day.
Smart girls don't be afraid of food. When it's time to eat, enjoy it with peace of mind. After all, autumn food is happy once a year.

001 Flowers made into sweet teeth
As soon as it cools down every year, sweet teeth begin to rise.

A few days ago, I recalled "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and saw the famous mini cake: mint green and pink frosting, shiny, a wonderful texture between fairy tales and pastries.
Wes Anderson's images are always delicious and very appetizing, not to mention that "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is such a sweet movie.
Imagine taking a bite into this cake. Imagining the thick white chocolate and cream melting in the mouth will definitely cause the brain to feel warm and cloudy vertigo. The feeling of glycemic sugar is sometimes wonderful, almost like an intoxicating trip.

But compared to such a beautiful dessert, in fact, when living alone, you are more inclined to put down the sense of ritual and eat or drink some more honest sugar.
A favorite Jiangsu and Zhejiang pastry is called water tower cake, which is made of fermented rice. It obviously looks like such a simple white block cake, but it tastes like fluffy and soft clouds. Paired with local Longjing hot tea, the green bitterness and dense sweetness are the best companions.
The same is sweet, there are different levels. For example, the sweetness of the water tower cake is the heavy velvet base of the wine, plus the ethereal osmanthus fragrance that seems to be nothing.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang love to preserve autumn, osmanthus sugar is everywhere.
Lotus seed soup, lotus root flour, and pastries will be filled with a thick sweet fragrance in autumn and winter. When biting down, what is one step ahead of the taste buds is the nostalgic nose. The osmanthus is very rich, but not as thick as roses, its smell is silky, and it pours autumn meaning into the depths of the stomach along the heart.
I love to read Lin Qingxuan's "Qingya Recipe", which writes osmanthus flowers: "Osmanthus sauce can be added to any drink or tea, pick out a drop with a bamboo skewer when adding, and a glass of water will be completely contaminated by the fragrance, just like when osmanthus flowers bloom in the garden in autumn, the air is full of the fragrance of flowers."
Autumn is such a cold season, but because of the osmanthus blossoms, there are large warm colors.
So, how can you not have sweet teeth? The simple happiness of human beings is the moment when the taste of food penetrates the soul. Eat more sweetness to completely soften before winter comes.

002 Carbs are a happy gospel
The love for carbs is really written in human genes, especially in autumn and winter.
Imagine that in "Eat, Pray, Love", if Julia Roberts had not gobbled up spaghetti, the "freedom index" of the film would definitely be greatly reduced.
Especially in this era when seeing carbs is like facing a great enemy, seeing a beautiful woman swallowing meat sauce noodles is even more of a "rebellious" sense of satisfaction.

Francis Metz wrote about pasta in Under the Tuscan Sun: "We both love pasta with espresso sauce. The barbecue sauce is very good, cut the unsmoked pork into fine pieces, roast until browned, and stir in the cream and shredded arugula. This area of arugula is easy to find, and I have it in the driveway and on the stone wall. We'll also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on the noodles and gobble them up in a bowl. ”
Really – there's nothing more intimate than cooking and eating with someone you like, and a healthy relationship will always bring a good appetite.
And if this love can be compared to food, then carbohydrates are definitely preferred: that ancient and sweet joy always seems to come from hot rice, noodles, and bags.
Of course, when carb addiction comes, in fact, I like to watch the oriental rice noodles that suit my appetite. The new season of "Lonely Foodie" is the dream land of carb people. Stewed beef tongue omelet rice, raw fish rice bowl, Indonesian fried rice... Ah, really praise rice, golden rice grains after being baked, stir-fried, and oiled, swallowed in one bite, healing the entire late autumn.

The nights of living alone are sometimes exhausting enough to just want a bowl of carbon water and fall asleep. When the belly is full, you will feel happy, because the stomach and heart are equally stable.
Remembering Haruki Murakami's "Kafka by the Sea", "It's still different from any udon I've eaten so far: fresh, chewy, and the old soup is fragrant."
Since it was so delicious, another bowl came. In this way, the belly is full for a long time and full of happiness. Sit on a bench in the square in front of the station and look up at the clear sky. I think I'm free. I'm free here like a cloud in the air. ”
In fact, when we praise carbs, we may be praising the satiety that slowly melts in the stomach and the power it brings, which is enough to support us to carry out more adventures in this world.

003 Delicious soup tastes like love
I've always been a person who loves soup.
Watching "Late Night Cafeteria", people from work use miso soup to soothe their tired hearts. Kelp, dried fish, miso, and chopped green onion make a thick and delicious soup. Some people don't like the fierce sweet smell, but the so-called comfort food is never won by exquisite taste.
Comfort food is the most familiar taste of attachment to the tip of the tongue after nightfall, because it is familiar, so it can directly reach the depths of memory from the taste buds.
Love all kinds of soup food - when a person is too lazy to cook, put everything into it and stew it in one pot, which is a very wonderful soup dish. Taking care of one's heart and stomach is a kind of self-love in itself.
Very impressed, there is also an episode in "Late Night Canteen" that says cream stew, and diner Xiaohua feels that cream stew is the taste of home. Potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, food becomes soft and sticky in a cream wrap, and all happy memories can be dissolved in this white sauce.
I suddenly thought that when I was a child, my mother took me to a western restaurant, and every time there would always be a creamy soup. The soup is served in round cups with a crispy golden crust on top.
Poke it open with a fork and the fragrant bread immediately melts into the cream, and the aroma of clams, ham and mushrooms makes everything extra dreamy.
The memories of the cooling day are also written by this smell, and every time my heart is broken, I will relive this dense and soft taste of nostalgia.
When I grew up, drinking soup in late autumn also became a habit.
I prefer Chinese home-cooked stew to Western-style soup.
After autumn, you simmer corn, ribs, and yams at home, and add a little salt to taste enough. If you have time, pour it over the rice and heal it.

Love autumn, love autumn food, love alone time.
The light and crisp coolness is a beautiful fragment of osmanthus and chestnuts. Dedicating time to food is a very healing process in itself.
Buying, washing, cooking, enjoying, modern people rarely have time to be so isolated and completely focused on the chores at hand. And food has such power.
