Your next mission:
ORange rush
Orange you glad fall has finally arrived in all its full splendour? To celebrate the beautiful changing of the seasons, your mission this week is to eat (or drink) something orange. Perhaps you’ll take advantage of the culinary versatility of the humble pumpkin, or revel in other fall vegetables. Maybe you’ll be drawn to orange-coloured candy, a dish that shows off the beautiful hue of sweet potato, or delicious citrus fruit. Whatever you enjoy to complete the mission, be sure to share it with the Gastropost community. Read on to see how.
