Welcome to the Stars Hollow Gazette‘s Health and Fitness News weekly diary. It will publish on Saturday afternoon and be open for discussion about health related issues including diet, exercise, health and health care issues, as well as, tips on what you can do when there is a medical emergency. Also an opportunity to share and exchange your favorite healthy recipes.
Questions are encouraged and I will answer to the best of my ability. If I can’t, I will try to steer you in the right direction. Naturally, I cannot give individual medical advice for personal health issues. I can give you information about medical conditions and the current treatments available.
You can now find past Health and Fitness News diaries here.

Good morning. You going leaf-peeping tomorrow? Picking some apples? Gathering pumpkins, gourds, a thatch of dried corn to tie to the porch or fire escape in celebration of the harvest and this nation’s agrarian past? I imagine the coming election has you rattled, and there’s bad news abroad as well. But this is high agritainment season, people. Get in the car!
I’ll take the apples, and any small cooking pumpkins you can find. I want to make Florence Fabricant’s recipe for pumpkin soup with ancho and apple this weekend. I want to dial in my pie crust technique and to bake one of our dozens of recipes for apple pie.
Or, check that, one of our dozens of recipes for pumpkin pie.

Chances are the contents of that can of pumpkin purée you may be using for pie, soup, biscuits, custard, ice cream or bread came from Illinois. It’s the state that produces the most pumpkin for canning.
You can use any melting cheese, such as American, Muenster or Swiss, but not too much: part of the perfection here is in the proportion of bread to cheese.
