I used to always make a big pot of chili, served with tortillas, cilantro, sour cream... and a big pitcher of Sangria (sangre = blood after all!)
Since moving here, we always get costumed up and head out and about, so I don't usually make anything.
Does anyone else recall getting satsumas in lieu of halloween candy? The first satsumas ripen at the end of October...we always liked getting 'em. And popcorn balls, pralines, and peanut butter fudge still rule in rural areas. As my mama always said, if you don't know someone well enough to eat their homemade food, you shouldn't be trick-or-treating at their house. Granted, we did live in the country.

Yes! How could I forget satsumas! And peanut butter fudge too! Popcorn balls & cupcakes. Well, that's what my mama made & I was happy with that! But yes, we would get satsumas from some people.
Makes you miss the old days, eh?
