In our family we take any opportunity to have an excuse to have yummy Mexican food, so of course we celebrate The Day of the Dead! We also usually make it into a family home evening, kind of a genealogy holiday!
Here is Mama, and Leili making Great-grandma M.'s Mexican rice. And of course Mama is wearing her Day of the Dead apron! Festive, Festive!
This year money, patience, and sleep are all so short that our celebration was a bit muted compared to other years. But Jake and mama made agua de jamaica, and dad, Jake, &Fern made pan de muretos! YUMMM! We also made some refried beans and had burritos, it was all so good! If you want any of the recipes let me know!!

Now for the yummy part of Halloween night!
We made Cherish's Potato soup using a pumpkin as the squash, mmmm!
Then we took the seeds from said pumpkin and made some roasted pumpkin seeds!
To go with our seeds, The Great Pumpkin, and Garfield facing scary pirates for Halloween candy, we made caramel corn! MMMMM!
