Wanna see a really corny cartoon?
Well, not around this house.
We can say Feliz Día de los Muertos to our Spanish-speaking friends though.
To the rest of you that's Happy Day of the Dead.
Two festive days of celebrating those who have gone before us.
November 1st seems to me to be a proper day for such an event.
It's always seemed to me like a day that marks the dying out of a happier season with colder weather and snow ahead.
At 7:00 a.m. today in my part of Arizona it's 31F/0C.
I haven't seen a long range forecast so I don't know if we'll get snow here this coming winter but it's always a possibility.
Somehow November the First seems like a time for stews and chile and baking.
We had Spanakopita and Hummus for our evening meal yesterday.
Don't think I've gone all that ethnic in the kitchen - both came pre-made from the supermarket; just had to throw the Spanakopita in the oven for awhile.
A few days before that, though, I did bake a dozen rolls from a recipe for German Farm Bread.
They're made with a combination of rye, whole wheat and all purpose flours.
Hearty.
Judy likes them - must be her German heritage.
So another month and another season are upon us.
Let's enjoy them.
Oh, one more Halloween thought.
I actually like candy corn.
