What’s on the Menu for Halloween?

My Mom used to make a big pot of Oyster Stew on Halloween.  It sent us kids out warm and satisfied.  Keeping warm is the trick here in Michigan on Halloween because it’s frequently cold and rainy.  So that’s what I’m making on Halloween.  It’s made on the boxy thing in the kitchen.  So what say you?  Anything special or traditional on the menu?  

We usually give out big sized Hershey bars to trick or treaters.  We live on a dead end road that’s not in a subdivision so we get very few kids at our door.  
Due to Covid, I haven’t seen a good TP job on somebody’s trees.  I kinda miss that.

    When kids were younger we used to do a big pot of chilli.  In Illinois, Halloween could be 80 or 30.  You never knew.  The chilli was great on the cold ones.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    I tend to have Reece's and Snickers for supper on Halloween.  I never have as many ghosts and goblins as I buy for.

    Probably takeout. I will be traveling on Sunday and likely won’t get back in time to make pediatric dentists wealthy. Anyone need the KitKats, Reese’s, and Skittles that I bought a month ago?

    Haven't decided, but our neighborhood does trick or treating in the afternoon, so we usually braise short ribs - the prep is done before it starts and is done after everything is wrapped up.  SWMBO Jr has a get together at a friend's house that may shorten that schedule, so we might end up doing miso smothered chicken.

    Haven’t figured out dinner, but I’m going to try my hand at making Halloween cookies. With hot chocolate for the kids, and hot buttered rum for the grown-ups.

    Ok. So that’s one person so far with no sense of humor. 

    Noted. 

    C’mon man. Have you *ever* given another guy grief. Or is it all “i love you man” where you come from. 

    You met littlesteven. He was one of the best at this game. 

    Fishing with him was three days of great food and horrible jokes and derision. Hahahaha

    On the occasions that I hand out candy I usually buy a pizza. One “kid” asked for a slice instead of Snickers.

    Oyster Stew. My favorite way to consume oysters. No idea about Sunday dinner as yet. Will be eating at my daughters, and enjoying the grandson experiencing Halloween for the first time (18 months).

    Like some others we haven’t had any t/o/t for 37 years! Reason I know that time? A neighbor who is now 47 years old has told me he tripped when leaving on my long DARK driveway and cried all the way home! And he was the ONLY one that year and for 2 years before that! I don’t think kids even back then, much less nowadays will walk the 160 feet down our driveway to get whatever candy we might offer!

    No…not at all…when that kid surprised us by ringing our doorbell then Pat opened the doors and said “Hello Matthew…wait for Ron to find you something.”

    I’m pretty sure back then I was eating Snicker bars so I probably gave him one of my $.10 or were they $.15 clear back then?  =)

    I’m considering doing a pizza with ketchup and candy corn.

    Clam chowder here pretty pedestrian and the weather is unusually warm but I am sure it will hit the spot.  Fred’s post definitely played a part in that decision but I have never had let alone heard of oyster stew.  Need to figure that one out.

    You definitely need to figure that one out. And if you haven’t ever had oyster gumbo add it to the to do list as well 👍
