Pre-Halloween Trick or Treating and Delicious Stew!

This last Sunday, I went over to my Somali Bantu family's house to carve pumpkins for Halloween. I brought them two bags of candy along with two pumpkins. They promptly gave a Kit Kat to the 6-month year old, Malut (my Godson). After he finished that, they gave him a carmel apple sucker.

After the pumpkin-carving extravaganza, the kids decided they were going Trick or Treating. I tried to tell them that Halloween was the next day, but they wouldn't hear it. We made make-shift costumes out of construction paper and using my Crayola markers. Habiba was a cat and I was a rabbit. Every house we went to, the people looked at us like we were crazy, while I just laughed nervously. I think we hit 5 doors, before the kids gave up. It was pretty hilarious.

Wednesday I made some delicious lentil stew! I was so proud of myself. I doubled the batch and everyone that had some unanimously agreed...delicious!

And that's my latest!
