I have always loved Halloween! I remember dressing as a young child in a VERY politically incorrect costume as Aunt Jemima (I thought she was all about pancakes), and I loved my mask. Later, I remember being a ghost, a witch, an Oreo cookie, and a California dancing raisin!
Our neighborhood doesn't have too many kids (I think there were 9 or 10 last year), so I give the neighbor kids that I know, full size Snickers bars, and have a bag of mini size "just in case" (Brad is always hopeful they'll be his by 8:30).
My mom always fixed a special Halloween dinner, so I have continued that tradition. The menu varies each year, but dessert ALWAYS is something apple!
Tonight's Menu:
Mango martinis
Stuffed Veal Chops
Pumpkin Polenta
Roasted Acorn Squash with cornbread, chicken-apple sausage, apricot stuffing
Cheddar-crusted Apple Tart
Photos and recipes tomorrow. Have a fun, spooky night!

Your menu sounds delish! Even the Mango Martinis match the color scheme!
Have a great evening!

One of the little kids at school said they needed an eye glass chain like the one I have around my neck. When I asked why she said:"Tonight I'm going to be a Zombie librarian!" That really made me laugh.
Happy Halloween Palma!
