Halloween Menu

I really like my husband. When I get out the Halloween decor, he jumps in to help me hang the spider garland and assemble my pumpkin displays. I think partly because we like to do absolutely everything together and partly because he is super creative. And Taylor's creativity really shines in the kitchen. Boyyy, does it!

So here is our favorite Halloween menu, a la my husband:

* Squash soup with reduced balsamic vinegar designs*

For soup recipes, try Alton Brown's or this one from epicurious. Click here for instructions on reducing the vinegar (it's super easy). Once it's reduced, put it in a squirt bottle and make your designs. Some we've tried: spiderweb, spider, witch's hat. I suppose if you are really confident in your art work, you could try a black cat or a witch or anything else ghoulish you wish!

Serve this soup up with some of yesterday's peasant bread, and you've got yourself a meal!

And for dessert--

* Vanilla milkshake ghosts*

Happy dining!
