Summer is now over, and we&#8217;re well into autumn by any definition, so it&#8217;s time to review what I actually did (it wasn&#8217;t exactly like what I planned on doing) and look forward to the rest of the year.  First off, what I plan on doing for the rest of the fall:</p>

<p><ins>Late afternoon update: I&#8217;ve now filled out the schedule for the winter as well.  As always, this is not a commitment, but a guide that I will alter depending on my schedule and pantry contents.</ins></p>

<h2>Unscheduled</h2>
<p>That leaves the following recipes from my original list unaccounted-for:</p>
<ul>
<li><cite>Flour</cite>: Double Chocolate &amp; Orange Semifreddo (as a frozen dessert, should probably have been left off the list &#8212; I wasn&#8217;t going to be bringing this in to the office to share even if I did make it)</li>
<li>Brody: Chile Cha-Cha Brownies</li>
<li>Brody: Chocolate-Raspberry Torte [2 requests]</li>
<li>Luchetti: Walnut Cake with Chocolate-Orange Sabayon and Vanilla Cr&egrave;me Anglaise [2 requests, but dropped due to excessive coffee flavor]</li>
<li>Moosewood: Dark Chocolate Layer Cake (substitute frosting) [1 request]</li>
<li><cite>Whole Grain Baking</cite>: Banana Crunch Cake</li>
<li><cite>Whole Grain Baking</cite>: Peanut Butter Cream Pie [2 requests]</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of these are possible mid-season replacements or may be doable as a midweek project if I feel ambitious in the fall.  Likewise, the following recipes (which really should be listed on my <a href="/recipes/pointers/">Recipe Pointers page</a>) were <em>not</em> included on the original list of recipes, but might get added later on, or swapped for something else to use up perishable ingredients:</p>
<ul>
<li>Costantino: La Deliziosa</li>
<li>Costantino: Dolci di Noci</li>
<li>Costantino: Barchiglia (chocolate-glazed almond tart with pear)</li>
<li><cite>Flour</cite>: Double Chocolate Cookies</li>
<li>Brody: Peanut Butter Cups</li>
<li>Brody: Denver Chocolate Pudding Cake</li>
<li>Medrich: Chocolate Cheesecake</li>
<li>Bloom: Butterscotch Blondies</li>
<li>Bloom: Nutty Caramel Bars</li>
<li>Greenspan/Herm&eacute;: Chocolate Sparklers</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, I (stupidly) continue to buy cookbooks.  Among the cookbooks I already own but have yet to scan for recipes are Rose Levy Beranbaum&#8217;s <cite>Baking Bible</cite>, Ruby Tandoh&#8217;s <cite>Crumb</cite>, Fritz Knipschildt&#8217;s <cite>Chocopologie</cite>, Mindy Segal&#8217;s <cite>Cookie Love</cite>, and Hannah Miles&#8217;s <cite>Naked Cakes</cite>.  So of course everything is subject to change, and I could get tired of this and move on to something else at a moment&#8217;s notice.</p>
