The first sign of fall

The first sign of fall in my family is not the leaves falling, the squirrels gathering, or the approach of Turkey Day, its the yearly making of Chex Mix, which is made two times a year – in the fall for Tom’s birthday and for Christmas. Now this recipe is the original good one, not the crappy one that they try to pawn off to the unsuspecting tourists nowadays. For those on the receiving end remember and repeat: “Its a snack and not a meal.”
