Hope y'all had a Happy Halloween. As far as decorations went, we were in a low ebb this year. However, the flow of children through our neighborhood was about 3 times the volume as last year. Ran out of candy and had to use some of Stacey's haul. (She trick or treats in order to get good candy for decorating the holiday gingerbread house.) We've got bigger plans for next year, so keep a weary eye out.
We had a friend and her daughter over and I enjoyed cooking some selections that I based off of Martha Stewart's classic Hors D'ourves book. I made three pizza's, some mini-quesadillas, and had more food in reserve, but it wasn't needed. Instead we had soy-ginger beef and chicken rolls for lunch today. I think we need to have people over more often so I can cook more.
Stacey and I would really like to set up a monthly dinner that is open to all comers (as long as you give us 72 hours notice) with the only price of admission being a bottle of wine, a folding chair, or a few dollars (to help with the food costs). It may not be five star dining, but it will be good food and good company. (Now they're going live with a restaurant based on the same concept.)

Whelp. The Angels win the world series for the first time in their 42 year history (perhaps that was the question?). Troy Glaus is walking the World Series trophy around the stadium right now and I know my friends Doobie and Rebekah are there reveling in the glory. Never having been at a world championship game, I wouldn't know. But I imagine it is something like when my High School basketball team won the state championship defeating a long time rival. Only raised by a few factors of magnitued.
I know that the Angels will be touring down Main Street USA at Disneyland in the next couple of days and it's sad to think that I won't be there. Las Vegas is too far away to just jump in the car and drive to the park for an evening. I look forward to seeing photos of the event on LaughingPlace.com and seeing what photos, if any, Rebekah took while at the game.
