Looking forward to Samhain

[caitri]

I love Halloween. I really really do. We were running errands this morning and all of a sudden there are pumpkins, black cats, bats, and all manner of things orange, black, and green about.

This being the short way of saying: Scott had to keep prodding me away from things. Except at World Market, cos, hey, who can resist "Zombie Zin" wine or bat pasta with artichoke sauce? (Something I did have to resist: pirate towels. We don't need more towels. But they were so damn cute!!!)

Anyhow. We are in early stages of planning a party for Samhain. The pumpkin-clove cake from the CakeLove book is a must, I think. I need to find a butternut squash soup recipe.

(This is my way of avoiding thoughts of work.)

Did you ever get that Kitchen Witch book by Cait Johnson? It has a tasty pumpkin soup recipe that I make around this time every year.

I bet you guys throw great parties :)

Yes, and that's a nice suggestion!!

I like to think our parties are great. :)

Try the soup out sometime, even if you don't make it for the party. I think that recipe alone is worth the purchase price.
