I enjoy Brussels sprouts several times a week during this time of year. I roast them in the air fryer, shred them for salads, skewer them on the grill, puree them into soup, and include them in sheet-pan dinners.

Dinner is different with the arrival of autumn. Afternoon shadows lengthen, the air chills with scents of damp earth as leaves turn gold and red, and we turn away from the grill and toward the stove.

We were at the beach, and it was this other person’s — whoever she was — turn to make dessert. She chose to make brownies, and put a box of brownie mix on the shopping list.
