Sadly, we never get any trick-or-treaters tonight since we live in an apartment complex in the city. I don't believe there are any children that live in our building. In years past, I've always liked to go for a run about the time that the kids go trick-or-treating. I like to run down Lake Street because it is teeming with families and cute kids. Lots of families open their garage doors and host parties in their driveways. So much fun! And since I'm just "out for a jog" I get to peek at the cute costumes without looking like a creepy old lady.
To celebrate Halloween tonight, DH and I treated ourselves to Frito Pies. It's always been a tradition in my family to eat chili on Halloween night. Last night, we made a big pot of chili using my mom's recipe. Just as delicious as I remembered it, even though it turned out a little thicker than I had expected. Tonight, we heated up the leftovers, spooned some over a bowl of Fritos, and sprinkle it with cheese! Tami Taylor would be so proud. We California-ized this Texas treat by adding some avocado chunks.
Look out Mom, I think we have a new tradition! |
