Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) or Halloween
is a very popular day in Santa Barbara...
.
There are many events all around town for little ones and adults....
our singing Count Dracula welcomed 20 Park Highland neighbor Ladies
to my Spooky Lunch
"Come on in dearie", said our ghostly witch
We served up some skull & bones soup....
some Raven Salad
paired with Twisted Tree blood....er...wine
Bug Under Glass for starters
scary favors for my guests...
finished up with some special sweets, served on heirloom silver of course
the Ravens and our other "pets" cleaned up the left-overs
thanks so much for stopping by our Spooky neighborhood lunch....
Recipe (from Trader Joe's) for Soup I served. Delicious, easy & filling soup to serve a crowd, corn bread and a sliced melon, grape & apple salad, served with wine & iced tea
cookies & coffee for dessert
Peruvian Chicken & Rice Soup (serves 8)
(could also be called Tortilla Soup, just add some corn chips and shredded cheese)
1 box Chicken Broth (32 fl oz)
1 box Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup (32 fl oz)
1/2 jar Corn & Chile Salsa (bit spicey)
1 large bag (frozen) Chimichurri Rice
Cooked sliced or chunk Chicken
Juice of 2 limes
throw it all in a big pan, heat properly and serve!
(everyone wants this recipe!)
come by again next year...I'll start seasoning and aging the bones now....
Hope you have a spooky Halloween where ever you are!

WOW this is really a Halloween... with all details! Well here in Sweden it is not so much Halloween, but more and more for every year! Wish you a nice weekend! Hugs from C
Hello Carla! Great Halloween decorations you made! It must be gorgeous in your country! Halloween isn't part of our tradition and in Italy not many people celebrate it!
Happy week end!

You are funny... sounds like a yummy meal.

Hi Carla,
Looks like a very fun and spooky party. I love all of the creepy touches mixed in with all of your elegant pieces.
