Witches, goblins and one little strawberry filled the hall for our neighborhood trunk or treat.
With pot luck, there were 3 different chilis, hot dogs. 2 different coleslaw, corn bread, and chips and desserts gallore.
Children’s games and activities nestled in every corner. Chatter, gossip and good old fashioned reminiscence filled the air.
Everyone was so excited to be out of quarantine and ready to socialize that the neighborhood drowned in energy, anticipation and euphoria of freedom.
On the way home those cute demons flew numerous times past each trunk until their bags were too heavy to lift. Even the cute strawberry had her pumpkin overflowing.
I hope your parties will be as wonderful .
Venison Chili
(No measurements just ingredients.)
Ground venison browned with chopped bacon
Cooked and strained red kidney beans
Chopped tomatoes, onions, peppers, and 1 bay leaf
(Sweat chili: add catsup)
Chili powder, swest basil salt and pepper and the secret ingredient, cinnamon.
Top with grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Water added then cook all day long. Umm, the smell alone keeps those monsters in check.
Happy Halloween!
