Trick Or Treat

Baton Rouge

It was Halloween yesterday and that's a huge deal over here. For the kids it seems like it's second only to Christmas and Kathy invited a few over to the house for a little barbecue before the serious trick or treating began. You're only allowed to go round the houses from 6 until 8 but then here it's more for younger kids than back home I think. Abby went dressed as a witch and overcame her usual shyness to trot up to the houses and ring the doorbells. Shyness doesn't apply when there are sweeties involved and soon everyone had more than they could carry. All a far cry from pennies and monkey nuts, that nonsense just doesn't cut the mustard over here.

Kathy's sister Kristi showed me a great thing to make at barbecues. Take a couple of digestive-type biscuits, then make a sandwich with a thin piece of chocolate and a sticky toasted marshmallow. A bit like an ice cream slider really. They taste far too good, you could do yourself a serious nasty with them.
