Highlights: Halloween

Published on October 30, 2010 By Emily. Updated on October 30, 2010

Sometimes it’s Sunday evening before I get around to thinking about the Highlights.  Sometimes, the topic is a bit of a stretch and I’m lucky if I come up with a handful of great links.

Some topics are simple though; when there’s a holiday approaching, I start saving links as soon as they appear in my Reader.  (I’ve already started collecting for Thanksgiving!)  The result is lots and lots of Halloween links.  So many, I’m leaving out much of the commentary this week and offering you the links by subtopic:

Costumes

Foodie Halloween Costumes from Endless Simmer…not to be confused with the Top 10 Worst Halloween Food Costumes

Like food celebrities?  Check out Chow’s Food Celebrity Halloween Costumes (Michael Pollan or Alice Waters, anyone?)

Serious Eats is dressing up their French bulldog, Dumpling, in 12 different food-related costumes.  Pretty stinkin’ cute.

Not really a costume, but if you need a garlic necklace made out of silver (to keep vampires away?), check this out.

Recipes

Tasty Kitchen posted a bunch of the site’s prettiest looking Halloween recipes (I’m sure they taste good, too).

(Almost) every weekend, I choose a theme and highlight blog posts, websites and news articles from my Google Reader which I found interesting (and hope you do too!) If you want more reading, check out “What I’m Reading” on my sidebar.  And don’t forget to add Relishments to your reader or like Relishments on Facebook!

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
