We love apple picking and all (and scarf weather, and tea), but this weekend we’ve decided to spend some quality time with our daydreams of alternating icy cold sips of Sangrita and tequila. 

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more.

This week, among other things, Amanda saw patterns in the strangest places, Christina gave homage to Julia Child, and Kristen abandoned us for the West coast. (Don't worry, she's coming back. We think.)
