THE KING, THE SOUTHERN BELLE AND SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

With the wonderful company of Annie and Holly, Calvin got to trick-or-treat for the first time in a near-by, very friendly neighborhood. In the car on the way there Annie kept saying, "The King and The Southern Belle are holding hands" (Calvin was in heaven having Annie visit). After The Southern Belle was satisfied with her candy collection we stopped by Stephanie's house and the King and Harlan The Little Chicken got to play a bit. It was perfect Halloween weather - cool and clear with a big bright moon and some moody clouds. Very fun night. Halloween is one of those Holidays that I think is going to be so much more fun, joyful and interesting now that we have a babe... Wondering what he'll want to dress up as once he's old enough to choose for himself.

Before we went out, Brad made us this delicious meal, which for some reason felt very pre-trick-or-treat appropriate: spaghetti carbonara, with sides of roasted herbed beets and sauteed beet greens, and brussel sprouts with parmesan, pecans and red onion.
