Home for Halloween

Posted on by

Trick or Treat

We celebrated Halloween at home this year, watching the kids in costume come and go, and RUNNING OUT OF CANDY IN 45 MINUTES. I’m not kidding, 45 minutes is how long our 151 bags of candy lasted.

Some of the family came over to enjoy some smoked sausages, sauerkraut, and potato salad (all made by my superstar husband), red candied apples (made by me!), and keg of beer (that’s right, a whoooole kegger!)

Naturally, I forgot to photograph the food and drinks, but here’s some of the candy:Halloween Candy

and a photo of our staff, dressed up and ready to scare the neighborhood kids:

We’re still recovering.

Lasang Pinoy 21: Cooking for Heroes

Posted on by

Bryan Alvarez of Shoots. Eats. Leaves. has posted his round-up of October’s Lasang Pinoy. This was a particularly special event, being Lasang Pinoy’s Anniversary Edition and featuring the theme Cooking for Heroes. Not the immensely popular television show, no, but Filipino heroes- like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, even the People of People Power!

Will it make you hungry? Yes. But what I love about this round is how interesting all of the write-ups were. Make yourself a cup of tea and go read them.

I hope it’s not too early to mention that I’ll be hosting January 2008′s Lasang Pinoy: Crockpot Cooking! To join in the fun, I suggest you sign up for the Lasang Pinoy mailing list.
