Fall Archives - A Duck's Oven

November is upon us! And so is a new desktop calendar that is fall-themed to boot. If you’d like to not only enjoy the desktop but make the delicious soup pictured, head on over to the Butternut Squash Apple Soup recipe!

This November, Fiance and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving in Cape Town, South Africa. I’m hoping to get my hands on at least a turkey breast and do my best to recreate our childhood Thanksgiving spreads, but this is the first time I’ll be doing it myself! And my mom and future MIL are incredible cooks, to further intimidate me.

November is also our last full month in this beautiful country. I can’t believe this year has flown by so quickly! We’re definitely going to be making the most of our little time left with lots of good food, great wine, and gorgeous beaches.

To celebrate the month and set this photo as your desktop calendar, click the photo for your desktop size to open it in a new tab, then right click the photo and save it to your computer. You can then set it as your desktop! The one above is for a 1280×800 desktop (a 13 inch Macbook). Here are some more desktop sizes.

It is October. Ooooh my gosh. Two and a half months left in Cape Town. What.

This month’s desktop calendar is of course, Halloween themed, because we need as many opportunities to celebrate holidays as possible. I don’t think they celebrate Halloween in South Africa in quite the same way as they do in the US, like no trick or treating, but they do celebrate. Time to attempt to limit myself to one bag of candy corn a week. This is not a joke: I have actually made myself physically ill from eating too much candy corn. I’ll spare you the details.

In case you’re curious about the adorable cupcakes on the calendar, they’re Pumpkin Ghost Cupcakes I posted a couple of years ago. They’re super easy to make and totally adorable.
