• Add weatherstripping or door sweeps to the drafts you noticed in October.

In Season at the Market

Produce that is typically in season across much of the country in November includes cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, parsnips and pears. Buying what is in season usually means better flavor and lower prices, so plan a few of this week's meals around it.
