When it starts to get cool out, designer Myrl Talkington cooks up big batches of spicy zucchini soup. Because I live just around the corner, I'm often the recipient of a big jar full, like yesterday. (Myrl said she accidentally left out the curry, but it was delicious anyway). It's so good, especially with hot cornbread or a crunchy baguette, and a crisp glass of white wine.
