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).

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
