One of my favorite things about Halloween is searching through blogs for fun recipe and craft ideas. Mels Kitchen Cafe, my absolute favorite recipe blog, had a series of "spooky treats" last year and one of her ideas was to make your breadsticks into "bones." I tried this last year and failed, so I was excited to try again this year! Matt even offered to help. Can you guess which one of us is taking Anatomy this semester?
We enjoyed our quiet Halloween night together. We carved our pumpkins and set them outside, got our candy bowl ready, and then settled in for Hocus Pocus, hot chocolate, and homemade clam chowder. It was perfect. Especially since our doorbell only rang 4 or 5 times--more Snickers for us!
Another highlight this year was going to a pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins! We actually got there as it was getting dark and hitched the last hayride out to the pumpkin patch. This was a real pumpkin patch--they were all mixed in with the cornfield! We felt very adventurous and had so much fun looking for the perfect pumpkins. It was dark by the time we started picking our way back through the stalks of corn and heard the hay wagon guy calling out "anyone else out there?" Luckily he heard our yells and didn't leave us out there!
Good job with the anatomically correct bones, Matt :)
