This and That

First up: Halloween!

I got two pumpkins carved and this year used LED lights inside because candles invariably get blown out. Good choice as it was a very windy night. 

Lots of treaters came,  though in the end I had one whole unopened bag of 100 treats.  Emily took this photo of me handing out candy when a mob came by.  She then helped me pass it out.  Most of the 1 1/2 hours was not like this.

It was chilly so I had a hat on and wrapped up in a quilt to stay warm.

This cookbook was the selection for the Cookbook Club gathering on October 29th and a neighboring town's library. Those in attendance choose a recipe to make to share.

I made this Spanish tortilla: 1 onion, 2 potatoes, 6 eggs.  I actually learned how to make this when we visited Southern Spain in 2023.  With Dan's help turning it over onto a plate to cook the top, it came out very well.

Below is all that was left.  Granny Sue, recognize the plate I purchased from you?  It was just the right size.

Here are some of the other selections:

Here's Dan's plate (yes he came along to eat, one of three men there.)

Here's my plate.  I had to sample a little from everything.

No one made dessert!

I've finished my Christmas cards except for signing and addressing them.  There are all the same design, just done up with varying papers and colors.

Here's a few of the iterations.

I'm glad to have that off my list.

We have dear friends coming for a visit this week from Maryland and then I'll be flying solo to Buffalo on the 14th to stay for several weeks.  Telling you this to let you know my blogging and commenting will be sporadic probably until after Thanksgiving.

Stay well, friends!
