Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

I also work as a sign language interpreter, educator and author. My study of Deaf culture has taken me around the world, where I am always on a quest to find Deaf-owned restaurants. I love making connections between my different worlds, for example in this AFAR story where I share \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/tips-from-a-sign-language-interpreter-for-overcoming-language-barriers\">tips for communicating across cultures\u003c/a> that I learned from the real experts, Deaf people. Or this \u003ca href=\"http://edibleeastbay.com/online-magazine/fall-harvest-2017/deaf-chefs-compete/\">profile of a Deaf chef and culinary arts instructor\u003c/a> at the California School for the Deaf.\r\n\r\nTo see my visual/edible take on the world, follow me on Instagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/annamindess/\">annamindess. \u003c/a>\r\n\r\nFor more of my stories: visit Contently \u003ca href=\"http://annamindess.contently.com\">annamindess.contently.com\u003c/a>",

And these sausage rolls, which can be popped into your mouth quite easily (as proven by my husband who ate nearly every single one of them), do just the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure to find sausages that are about 3 inches long and already cooked. If you want, you can use larger sausages for a more filling meal of mummy-ness. Just be sure to bake them for a bit longer. You can also cut sausages to the correct length. I used pre-cooked frozen Chicken-Apple Breakfast Sausages form Applegate and those were a great length, but any smoked sausage would do too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to keep your puff pastry cold as you are rolling it out. If it gets too warm, it’s difficult to work with, but you can just pop it back in the fridge for about 5 minutes to chill it down again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are best served right away, while fresh and hot from the oven, but you can prepare and wrap the mummies up to 6 hours in advance and refrigerate them on the baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap. Then just remove the plastic wrap and pop them in the oven when everyone starts screaming (that they are hungry).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102355\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Mummy Sausage Rolls\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102355\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/mummy-sausages-final2-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halloween Mummy Sausage Rolls \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Halloween Mummy Sausage Rolls\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 10 sausage rolls\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>4 oz puff pastry\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 cooked breakfast sausages, each about 3 inches long (I used \u003ca href=\"http://www.applegate.com/products/natural-chicken-and-apple-breakfast-sausage--2\" target=\"_blank\">Applegate Chicken-Apple breakfast sausage\u003c/a>)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp ketchup or mustard\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry to 1/16th inch thick, into a rectangle about 11-inches long and 5 to 6 inches wide (or thereabouts).

"content": "\u003cp>Chocolate dipped strawberries don’t have to be only for Valentine’s Day. They can also become spooky ghoulish ghosts if you dip them in white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate (although you can use the same technique here with any type of chocolate).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to select the best possible strawberries that you can find: bright, unblemished, and on the larger side. Even though they aren’t in season at this time of year, you can still often find them at most big supermarkets. Also, the size of the strawberries determines how many you can dip with the amount of melted chips listed below, so adjust accordingly with the number of strawberries you want to end up with for your party or your ghoul-friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that melting white chocolate is a little tricky, as it has a lower melting point that milk or dark chocolate. When white chocolate gets overheated or heated too quickly, it will seize up. White chocolate is best melted over a very low, slow heat, so I generally do it in a double boiler (or a heatproof metal bowl set atop a saucepan). Be sure that the water in the pan is only simmering (steaming) and not boiling, and that it doesn’t touch the bottom of the double boiler or bowl. Gently stir the chocolate until it is just smooth and melted, and if it starts to get too hot, remove it from atop the steaming water.

They can also become spooky ghoulish ghosts if you dip them in white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate (although you can use the same technique here with any type of chocolate).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to select the best possible strawberries that you can find: bright, unblemished, and on the larger side. Even though they aren’t in season at this time of year, you can still often find them at most big supermarkets. Also, the size of the strawberries determines how many you can dip with the amount of melted chips listed below, so adjust accordingly with the number of strawberries you want to end up with for your party or your ghoul-friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that melting white chocolate is a little tricky, as it has a lower melting point that milk or dark chocolate. When white chocolate gets overheated or heated too quickly, it will seize up. White chocolate is best melted over a very low, slow heat, so I generally do it in a double boiler (or a heatproof metal bowl set atop a saucepan). Be sure that the water in the pan is only simmering (steaming) and not boiling, and that it doesn’t touch the bottom of the double boiler or bowl. Gently stir the chocolate until it is just smooth and melted, and if it starts to get too hot, remove it from atop the steaming water. Use the melted chocolate at once for dipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can “paint” the ghostly faces on with a toothpick or wooden skewer or use a small piping bag with a very fine tip for a more decorative effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102288\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102288\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"You can “paint” the ghostly faces on with a toothpick or wooden skewer. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/ghosts-eyes-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can “paint” the ghostly faces on with a toothpick or wooden skewer. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>White Chocolate Strawberry Ghosts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 12 to 16 strawberries\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Freshly baked, tender-sweet chocolate cookies are topped with a round of orange-flavored icing and then capped off with a milk or dark chocolate Hershey’s® Kiss®.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cookie dough, an extra chocolaty sugar cookie dough, can be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated or up to 1 month in advance and frozen. You can even roll and cut the cookies, then freeze them before baking (just freeze them separately on a baking sheet, then transfer them to an airtight container; make sure to bake them directly from frozen).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sugar cookies are even great on their own, and can be rolled and cut with your favorite Halloween cookie cutters if you like. And even though I think the cookies are the best part, if you run out of time you can always use chocolate wafer cookies in a pinch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102217\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102217\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Wicked Witch Hat Cookies\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/10/witch-hat-cookies-final-plate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chocolate Wicked Witch Hat Cookies \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Chocolate Wicked Witch Hat Cookies\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 40 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the first half of the 20th century, Halloween meant homey festivities where costumed revelers played games and enjoyed traditional fall foods such as apples, gingerbread, popcorn and cider. Sweets appeared as color-coordinated party fare. Festive serving tables at \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#candy\" target=\"_blank\">a 1921 Halloween gala\u003c/a> displayed dishes of orange and black gumdrops and jellybeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the last century, the holiday tilted more towards “trick” than “treat.” To prevent the pervasive pranks of soaped windows, unhinged gates and egged cars perpetrated by ”rowdies from the other side of town,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#trick\" target=\"_blank\">a 1939 women’s magazine\u003c/a> suggested hosting a Halloween open house for neighborhood youngsters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When children began to visit their friends' houses, they were often presented with wrapped homemade cookies or popcorn balls to take home.

Sociologist Joel Best has been investigating allegations of strangers poisoning kids’ Halloween candy for 30 years. As of this \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithsonianmag.com/not-categorized/where-did-the-fear-of-poisoned-halloween-candy-come-from-822302/?no-ist\" target=\"_blank\">2013 Smithsonian article\u003c/a>, “he hasn’t identified a single confirmed example of a stranger murdering a child in this fashion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the annual mass paranoia was possibly fueled by one actual gruesome crime perpetrated in 1974, when 30-year old Ronald O’Bryan, a Texas optician, laced a handful of Pixy Stix with cyanide and handed them out to several children. After his 8-year-old son, Timothy died from ingesting the poisoned candy, an investigation revealed that Mr. O’Bryan was deeply in debt and had just taken out large life insurance policies on his son and daughter. He was found guilty of murder and executed in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before this monstrous act, the media ghoulishly stoked the fires of fear with yearly exhortations. In 1970, even the esteemed New York Times, fabricated a haunted house of words, warning: “those Halloween goodies that children collect this weekend...may bring them more horror than happiness. That plump red apple that Junior gets from the kindly old woman down the block may have a razor blade hidden inside. The chocolate “candy” may be a laxative, the bubble gum may be sprinkled with lye, the popcorn balls may be coated with camphor, the candy may turn out to be packets containing sleeping pills.” (As quoted in \u003cem>Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween\u003c/em>, page 5.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While parents understandably want to protect their young ‘uns from harm, perhaps the ritual spilling of the sugary loot on the living room floor for inspection currently has more to do with mom or dad picking out the best (chocolate?) morsels for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Apples played an innocent role in Halloweens gone-by.

Celebrated from sunset, October 31 to sunset, November 1, it eventually morphed into our American Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Samhain, it was believed that ghosts would be released from their graves. The Celtic priests (aka Druids) used various methods of divination to communicate with the spirits and foretell the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Romans conquered Britain in 43 AD, they brought along some apple trees. The apple was an emblem of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and fertility, whose harvest festival was observed on November 1 and eventually the Roman and Celtic traditions intermingled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an apple is sliced through the middle, its seeds form a 5-pointed star or pentagram, which the Celts also viewed as a symbol of fertility. From this belief, evolved various methods of using apples to determine future marriage prospects. During the annual fall celebrations, young unmarried people would try to bite into \u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">an apple floating in water\u003c/a> or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry. Girls could also place the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing\" target=\"_blank\">apple they bobbed under their pillows\u003c/a> in hopes of dreaming of their future lover. If a young woman peeled an apple in a long spiral, swung it over her head three times and tossed it over her shoulder, it was believed that the shape it landed in would form the first letter of her future husband’s name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Ireland, Scotland and Wales kept their ancient November eve traditions alive through age-old games and folkways. They used apples or nuts to divine the future...and asked spirits about matters of love. The immigration of Scots and Irish in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries brought the Celtic celebrations to the U.S.\" (From \u003cem>A Halloween How-to,\u003c/em> page 12.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel covered or hard candy apples are still a traditional treat this time of year.

Vegetable carving has been a common practice around the world for many hundreds of years. The Maori carved lanterns from gourds more than 700 years ago. To arrive at modern day grinning pumpkin faces adorning front porches, we have Irish immigrants to thank (again) for bringing over their folktale of \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/topics/halloween/jack-olantern-history\" target=\"_blank\">Stingy Jack\u003c/a>, a trickster who made a deal with the Devil. After years outsmarting the Devil, the story goes, old Jack’s body finally succumbed to the ravages of age and he craved eternal rest. Because of his malicious mischief, however, Jack was not allowed into Heaven, so he went down to Hell. Out of revenge for his tricks, the Devil refused him entrance and tossed him an everlasting burning ember to light his endless wandering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As there were no pumpkins in the British Isles, Jack carved a turnip to carry his eternal light. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O' Lantern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Ireland and Scotland, people believed that spirits and ghosts could enter their world on Halloween. To avoid being visited by demons they created their own versions of Jack's lantern by carving fearsome faces into turnips or potatoes, lighting them with candles, and placing them in windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits. In England, large beets were used. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/jol.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">from Haunted Bay.com\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants from these countries brought their jack-o'-lantern tradition with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack-o'-lanterns. They were softer and easier to carve than the turnips and potatoes of their homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As one of the earliest known food crops in the Americas, pumpkins had actually already saved lives. Indians introduced pumpkins and squashes to the Pilgrims. Pumpkins were an important food source for the Pilgrims, as they stored well, which meant they would have a nutritious food source during the winter months. Without pumpkins many of the early settlers might have died from starvation.

In 1900, the tricornered tidbits became their most popular confection, outselling licorice, peppermints and even chocolate. Originally, the sweets weren’t associated with any specific holiday and were even promoted for Independence Day. After WWII, however, candy corn was advertised as a Halloween candy and by 1951, the Goelitz Company had 12 factories around the country devoted to ‘”cultivating” candy corn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>To dig up more on the history of Halloween here are two excellent books:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Halloween-How-To-Costumes-Decorations-Destinations/dp/1565547748/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Halloween How-To, A: Costumes, Parties, Decorations, and Destinations\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> by Lesley Bannatyne\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Death-Makes-Holiday-Cultural-Halloween/dp/158234230X\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> by David J.

Festive serving tables at \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#candy\" target=\"_blank\">a 1921 Halloween gala\u003c/a> displayed dishes of orange and black gumdrops and jellybeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the last century, the holiday tilted more towards “trick” than “treat.” To prevent the pervasive pranks of soaped windows, unhinged gates and egged cars perpetrated by ”rowdies from the other side of town,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#trick\" target=\"_blank\">a 1939 women’s magazine\u003c/a> suggested hosting a Halloween open house for neighborhood youngsters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When children began to visit their friends' houses, they were often presented with wrapped homemade cookies or popcorn balls to take home. After WWII’s sugar rationing was lifted, national candy companies encouraged tots to try on consumerism. Currently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/americans-will-spend-28-billion-halloween-candy-year-less-2012-fears-about-economy-inhibit-1445886\" target=\"_blank\">more than 2 billion dollars\u003c/a> is spent annually on Halloween candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89211\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Halloween sadists regularly poison children’s treats.

After his 8-year-old son, Timothy died from ingesting the poisoned candy, an investigation revealed that Mr. O’Bryan was deeply in debt and had just taken out large life insurance policies on his son and daughter. He was found guilty of murder and executed in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before this monstrous act, the media ghoulishly stoked the fires of fear with yearly exhortations. In 1970, even the esteemed New York Times, fabricated a haunted house of words, warning: “those Halloween goodies that children collect this weekend...may bring them more horror than happiness. That plump red apple that Junior gets from the kindly old woman down the block may have a razor blade hidden inside. The chocolate “candy” may be a laxative, the bubble gum may be sprinkled with lye, the popcorn balls may be coated with camphor, the candy may turn out to be packets containing sleeping pills.” (As quoted in \u003cem>Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween\u003c/em>, page 5.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While parents understandably want to protect their young ‘uns from harm, perhaps the ritual spilling of the sugary loot on the living room floor for inspection currently has more to do with mom or dad picking out the best (chocolate?) morsels for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Apples played an innocent role in Halloweens gone-by.

Celebrated from sunset, October 31 to sunset, November 1, it eventually morphed into our American Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Samhain, it was believed that ghosts would be released from their graves. The Celtic priests (aka Druids) used various methods of divination to communicate with the spirits and foretell the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Romans conquered Britain in 43 AD, they brought along some apple trees. The apple was an emblem of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and fertility, whose harvest festival was observed on November 1 and eventually the Roman and Celtic traditions intermingled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an apple is sliced through the middle, its seeds form a 5-pointed star or pentagram, which the Celts also viewed as a symbol of fertility. From this belief, evolved various methods of using apples to determine future marriage prospects. During the annual fall celebrations, young unmarried people would try to bite into \u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">an apple floating in water\u003c/a> or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry. Girls could also place the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing\" target=\"_blank\">apple they bobbed under their pillows\u003c/a> in hopes of dreaming of their future lover. If a young woman peeled an apple in a long spiral, swung it over her head three times and tossed it over her shoulder, it was believed that the shape it landed in would form the first letter of her future husband’s name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Ireland, Scotland and Wales kept their ancient November eve traditions alive through age-old games and folkways. They used apples or nuts to divine the future...and asked spirits about matters of love. The immigration of Scots and Irish in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries brought the Celtic celebrations to the U.S.\" (From \u003cem>A Halloween How-to,\u003c/em> page 12.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel covered or hard candy apples are still a traditional treat this time of year.

Vegetable carving has been a common practice around the world for many hundreds of years. The Maori carved lanterns from gourds more than 700 years ago. To arrive at modern day grinning pumpkin faces adorning front porches, we have Irish immigrants to thank (again) for bringing over their folktale of \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/topics/halloween/jack-olantern-history\" target=\"_blank\">Stingy Jack\u003c/a>, a trickster who made a deal with the Devil. After years outsmarting the Devil, the story goes, old Jack’s body finally succumbed to the ravages of age and he craved eternal rest. Because of his malicious mischief, however, Jack was not allowed into Heaven, so he went down to Hell. Out of revenge for his tricks, the Devil refused him entrance and tossed him an everlasting burning ember to light his endless wandering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As there were no pumpkins in the British Isles, Jack carved a turnip to carry his eternal light. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O' Lantern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Ireland and Scotland, people believed that spirits and ghosts could enter their world on Halloween. To avoid being visited by demons they created their own versions of Jack's lantern by carving fearsome faces into turnips or potatoes, lighting them with candles, and placing them in windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits. In England, large beets were used. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/jol.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">from Haunted Bay.com\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants from these countries brought their jack-o'-lantern tradition with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack-o'-lanterns. They were softer and easier to carve than the turnips and potatoes of their homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As one of the earliest known food crops in the Americas, pumpkins had actually already saved lives. Indians introduced pumpkins and squashes to the Pilgrims. Pumpkins were an important food source for the Pilgrims, as they stored well, which meant they would have a nutritious food source during the winter months. Without pumpkins many of the early settlers might have died from starvation.

Using a pastry bag, you can easily form them into little ghosts. Just pop a couple of mini chocolate chips in for eyes (and a third for a ghoulish mouth if you like) and voila. A few hours in the oven and you are ready for a party. With a lot of cute ghosts. Boo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here are some tips for making perfect meringues:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Use fresh eggs; don’t purchase pasteurized egg whites as they won’t whip up into light-as-air meringue.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Separate cold eggs straight from the refrigerator; room temperature yolks have a tendency to burst into your whites.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Make sure to keep your whites pristine, meaning no yolk, not even a little speck, or it won’t whip up into frothy goodness (this means also no other fats like oil, so make sure your hands, mixing bowl, and whip are all clean).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Warm egg whites whip up more readily, so ideally let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to take the chill off.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Save your yolks! You can use them to make scrumptious lemon curd or an ice cream custard base (such as this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2005/01/24/the-ice-cream-chronicles-part-1/\">Meyer Lemon Ice Cream\u003c/a>, my favorite ice cream in the universe).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/ingredients2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89098\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/ingredients2.jpg\" alt=\"Ghost Meringue Cookies ingredients.

Using a pastry bag, you can easily form them into little ghosts. Just pop a couple of mini chocolate chips in for eyes (and a third for a ghoulish mouth if you like) and voila. A few hours in the oven and you are ready for a party. With a lot of cute ghosts. Boo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here are some tips for making perfect meringues:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Use fresh eggs; don’t purchase pasteurized egg whites as they won’t whip up into light-as-air meringue.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Separate cold eggs straight from the refrigerator; room temperature yolks have a tendency to burst into your whites.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Make sure to keep your whites pristine, meaning no yolk, not even a little speck, or it won’t whip up into frothy goodness (this means also no other fats like oil, so make sure your hands, mixing bowl, and whip are all clean).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Warm egg whites whip up more readily, so ideally let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to take the chill off.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Save your yolks! You can use them to make scrumptious lemon curd or an ice cream custard base (such as this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2005/01/24/the-ice-cream-chronicles-part-1/\">Meyer Lemon Ice Cream\u003c/a>, my favorite ice cream in the universe).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/ingredients2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89098\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/ingredients2.jpg\" alt=\"Ghost Meringue Cookies ingredients.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nothing says let’s have a party more than whipping up a bowl of creamy, lime-kissed guacamole and setting it down next to a pile of crisp tortilla chips. Well, at least at my house that constitutes a party (especially with an ice-cold beer alongside). It seems like every time I make guacamole, the second it’s ready everyone is suddenly right there in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time you are planning a party (Halloween is coming up fast, friends) remember this: guacamole makes a great base--a bumpy, grass-green landscape--for all sorts of inventive things. I decided to turn that yummy landscape into a fun and slightly creepy graveyard scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can personalize this any way you want, but the general idea is to spread your vat of guac in a shallow baking dish (the spookier the better) and then plunge eerie crisp tortilla chips in the shapes of gravestones, ghosts and ghouls, and anything else you can think of, into the guac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tortilla chip shapes are cut from fresh corn tortillas and then shallow fried in a cast-iron skillet. It's easier than you might expect (especially if you stick to tombstones and ghosts) and takes less than a minute to bathe them in the hot oil and crisp them up. \u003cstrong>Some tips:\u003c/strong> be sure to use a sharp paring knife to cut out the shapes, leave room at the bottom so you can plunge the shape down into the guacamole, and once cut, get it into the oil quickly so it doesn’t dry out or curl up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Get creative with your shapes (I made ghosts, tombstones, a creepy cat, and an ominous tree), and with what you put in the guac! I've given you a basic, and tasty, recipe for the guac, but feel free to add in other things you like: diced cucumber, minced jalapeño, a big spoonful of your favorite salsa...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to make the guacamole up to 3 hours in advance, spread it in your dish, squeeze some lime juice over the top, then cover it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole, and refrigerate until party time. You can cut and fry the chips earlier in the day, just let them cool then put them into an airtight container. Don't plunge them into the guacamole until the party starts, and make sure to make plenty of extra to replenish the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have a ghoulish time!\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_88471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/Guac-ingredients1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-88471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/Guac-ingredients1000.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for the Guacamole Graveyard.

It seems like every time I make guacamole, the second it’s ready everyone is suddenly right there in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time you are planning a party (Halloween is coming up fast, friends) remember this: guacamole makes a great base--a bumpy, grass-green landscape--for all sorts of inventive things. I decided to turn that yummy landscape into a fun and slightly creepy graveyard scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can personalize this any way you want, but the general idea is to spread your vat of guac in a shallow baking dish (the spookier the better) and then plunge eerie crisp tortilla chips in the shapes of gravestones, ghosts and ghouls, and anything else you can think of, into the guac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tortilla chip shapes are cut from fresh corn tortillas and then shallow fried in a cast-iron skillet. It's easier than you might expect (especially if you stick to tombstones and ghosts) and takes less than a minute to bathe them in the hot oil and crisp them up. \u003cstrong>Some tips:\u003c/strong> be sure to use a sharp paring knife to cut out the shapes, leave room at the bottom so you can plunge the shape down into the guacamole, and once cut, get it into the oil quickly so it doesn’t dry out or curl up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Get creative with your shapes (I made ghosts, tombstones, a creepy cat, and an ominous tree), and with what you put in the guac! I've given you a basic, and tasty, recipe for the guac, but feel free to add in other things you like: diced cucumber, minced jalapeño, a big spoonful of your favorite salsa...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
