The Spice of Life

Ween Edition
Foodies out and Proud!!! Apparently there is already a foodie backlash. Chow offers us some kind words on why we shouldn't take this abuse.




And now that this injustice is addressed, let's move on to the really important things in life: Halloween.

Arguably my favorite holiday,do not be surprised if after I finish blogging about the Pumpkin Tart I made last night, all entries for the remainder of the week are didicated to this most glorious of holidays.

Lets start with a foundation of the celebrations; costume.

First, I should note this past weekend I attended my first costume party of the season, and to this gala I went dressed as Daria. My sister also plans to wear a sister outfit of Jane to select 'Ween festivities.

If you love food and haven't thought of a costume yet try a food icon, via Chow.

Still stuck? How about uber-fab super-bitch Anna Wintour? College Fashion outlines some great easy costumes that are actually just an excuse to add cute things to your wardrobe.


Of course there have been a bunch of great ideas for hosting Halloween parties (which we do and will be reported on). And provided you don't just turn to the ultimate guidence of that demi-God among homemakers, Martha Stewart, like I do, then here are some fun ideas:

Martha's creepy eats

And while we are on the work of the Dame of the Domicile I should mention she has created the first Halloween cocktail that my family is truly excited about. The Bleeding Heart Martini. Why are we so excited?! because it is the first such cocktail that is both cute and festive, but not sweet or in any way less potent then the Pollack Libations we are used to....hurray!!!!

Don't want to just feast on regular pre-packaged snack size Halloween treats (why I don't know...you're probably not well) here is a fun article on making your own.

And finally: confused about our current financial crisis, love Halloween candy, willing to engage in trade. Chow offers us a comprehensive study of the exchange rate and market value of each Halloween candy. Very useful
