Make this your most
creative Halloween yet!
 Halloween has a long history with various influences. Pomona Day's apples, nuts, and harvest, the Festival of Samhain's black cats, magic, evil spirits and death, and the ghosts, skeletons and skulls from All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day. The Halloween we celebrate today is often full of parties, "scary" foods and fun drinks. Step up your game with some of the spooky dessert and drink recipes to the left.
Also, I hope you take some time to enjoy all that fall has to offer. Go apple picking or visit a local pumpkin patch. Make some hot chocolate and pumpkin bread. Hunker down for the cool weather with a glass of fine wine. Fall is the perfect time to slow down a bit and enjoy the falling leaves, the smell of mulled cider on the stove and the taste of your favorite homemade soup.
Be sure to check out the coupon from AsianFoodTours.com at the very bottom of this eNewsletter. All the best in food, wine, and travel.
Happy October,

Drinks
Enjoy these 10 Bourbon Cocktail Recipes by Justin Greig. Light bourbons accompany fruity ingredients while dark bourbons add robust flavor.
Traveling with Kids
Kid-Friendly Zones: Traveling with Kids columnist Elaine Labalme and son Steven know that when New England's mountain resorts come to mind, we often equate them with two seasons: ski season and leaf-peeping season. And yet, these environs are equally appealing in the spring, summer and fall.
Chocolate
Speaking in (Cacao) Tongues: Chocolate Buzzwords
Stephanie Zonis shows us that many of these buzzwords are meaningless, some of them have real substance and it's worth being able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Sally's Recommendations
 Cat Cora by Starfit 8-inch Chef Knife  The curved German steel blade easily rocks, making mincing herbs and slicing small veggies a breeze! The ergonomic walnut handle is perfectly balanced and enables safe, tireless use. The Cat Cora by Starfit 8-inch Chef Knife offers excellent performance at a good price so you can chop like a true Chef! Retail Price: $40.95. For more information, click here. Dave's Gourmet  The Presidential election is upon us and Dave's Gourmet wants to see if a hot sauce can predict the outcome. They are selling two sauces: the Barack Obama Adjustable Origin Hot Sauce and the Mitt Romney Adjustable Opinion Hot Sauce (profits go to Cancer research). Every bottle sold is a vote for that candidate and there is a tracking poll on Dave's Gourmet's website at www.davesgourmet.com.
MYdrap
 MYdrap sells the only cotton napkins...on a roll. Reusable up to 6 times and easy to store, these napkins can be washed in your machine (but mine needed ironing).
