HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween 1.4 bis
So, time has come for all you ghouls to worship the Pumpkin God, play spooky tricks on the living, roam the streets like zombies and threaten the good people with your incantation-like "trick or treat" spine-chilling sentence...

Halloween 2.2 bis
The 31st of October marks Samhain (or All Hallow's Eve), the end of the harvest as well as that of the "lighter half" and the beginning of the "darker half". According to Gaelic tradition it is a time during which the borders between the world of the living and realm (otherworld) of the dead, the home of deities and the stronghold of supernatural spirits similar to elves or fairies become thin.

If you are hiding home behind boarded windows and trying to stay away from the monsters that are amongst us, you might want to make a few recipes to uplift your soul and keep you sane, so don't forget to check my "Halloween Food Ideas" Page.

Cakelaw said...

LOL - I definitely board myself up on Halloween, and what better way to ward off evil spirits than baking Halloween treats.

Kris Ngoei said...

Happy Halloween! It is great that everyone seems to come up with creative cookies and other bakings.

natural selection said...

The apparition of a figure on horseback, without a head. It is said by some to be the ghost of a Hessian trooper, whose head had been carried away by a cannon-ball, in some nameless battle during the Revolutionary War, and who is ever and anon seen by the country folk hurrying along in the gloom of night, as if on the wings of the wind.

Headless Horseman!

Bonne fête d'Halloween avec une pensée pour tous nos êtres chers. Magnifiques photos... et d'un point de vue culinaire, il faut absolument essayer le gâteau de citrouille avec de la fleur d'oranger, une pure addiction.
A bientôt. Nath
