It gives me great pleasure that Halloween is increasingly popular inside our country. More and more families are preparing for this holiday enthusiastically. Nice decorations, tireless treat seekers, familiar faces.
This year I was ooo on the 31th to have enough time for the preparations and to make some Halloween dishes because no holiday can pass away without fitting foodstuff. It was a plus to go to the hipermarket in full custome to take part in the custome competition. I was completely satisfied and more than happy with the black frilled long skirt, a fathingale. Nolen's wish was to have a plague custome from the Middle Ages since we visited the castle in Boldogkőváralja where we met with a plague doctor. He was afraid of it and then he thought it will be frightening enough to make the other children to be afraid of him during Halloween.
We always do the trick or treat walk around my parents' place at Kőhegy area, after we decorate their stairs with carved pumpkins, lights and placed the treats to let the hunters find it themselves. Mom and Dad are always keen to help us with the preparations. This year we started our tour right after sunset and thanks to the really mild weather, we were able to walk even to the farest spots. A very old friend of mine joined us this time and so we were entertained with rhyming poems, witty sayings. We found the participant places 40 - 60% self-service - hosts on the spot. For me, it is always hard to choose, either to go and collect ideas or to wait for and meet the others at home.
I saw that the fathers and mothers had a good time as well and enjoyed the evening not less than the children. Unfortunately, this lasts only for 1 day and there is no trace of this holiday on other days. Still divisive but much better than years ago.
Of course, Halloween is not Halloween without some Halloween style DIY dishes. And as a curiosity, at my parents' place, there is Halloween mood in the cellar all year long...
