Extending Traditions

Halloween - the forgotten holiday - by many - when it falls on a week night. Not me! For the last few years I have been implementing soup night at my house on this night. Halloween soup night has been in my life from as far back as I can remember. Dad and all the other neighborhood dads would take us kids trick or treating and when we were done we would all head back for a bowl of chili or clam chowder at mom and dad's. I never imagined that I could extend this tradition into my current life but am blessed with such a great group of friends that they all make it happen...

Halloween is truly a group effort. Someone takes Ella on an epic trick or treating run and we all take turns handing out candy at my house. In between the doorbell rings - we eat! Soup! No clam chowder though - gross. This year we had Ann's chili, Nell's famous carrot soup and Lynda's new hit Meatball soup. Great friends who are also great cooks - what more can a girl ask for?
