Friday Favorite Recipe: Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Judit’s Halloween Favorite Film: Hocus Pocus
When a teenager resurrects three witches he and an immortal cat are the only thing that can save the town. The three witch sisters Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy make Hocus Pocus a fun little movie that can’t be taken too serious, but is still a little scary.
Corina’s Favorite Halloween Film: Practical Magic
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are sisters who have to fight a strange curse that every man who falls in love with them is doomed. It is a result of witchcraft and the sisters try to break the curse and have some spooky adventures along the way. Practical Magic is a cute movie any time, but it is especially great to watch around Halloween with the lights low and a few candles.
Corina’s Friday Favorites: Halloween Costumes
As you might guess Halloween is my favorite fun holiday! This year I was a Bavarian Día de Muertos – the dirndl came from my very own closet and I was glad to have so many odd colors in my makeup kit since they came in handy. For the face I used silver eyeshadow all over and blue eyeliner for the details. The flowers came from Judit’s vase and did double duty as a headdress. This costume was a hit at a party two Halloween’s ago and I loved it so much I decided to do the Bavarian Día de Muertos again. Don’t you think I did a slightly better job this year?
This was the costume a few Halloween’s ago…still in practice.
On Halloween even the wineries transform into spectacular venues with music. The Carr Winery tasting room was a perfect backdrop for a spookalicious night.
A few years ago I was a Space Devil (yes the blue hair was the Space part) with fellow little devils at the Canary Hotel.
Another time is was a Neon Glow Girl with a dress from my closet, green wig, and glow sticks turned into bracelets and a necklace.
And before that I was Poison Ivy, dancing on the rooftop with Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss. The ivy came from the backyard and the Cookie Monster stepped on it later that evening.
Halloween Friday Favorite Wine Word: Zin! Zinfandel
Have a fun, safe, and very enjoyable Halloween evening!
Belated Happy Halloween 😀
The costumes look brilliant, you obviously had a great one! I went to a little Halloween party but because of exams, nothing extravagant!
Cheers

Hope you had a wonderful time at the Halloween party Choc Chip Uru. I had so much fun at a party, even though it started to rain that night and it hasn’t rained most of the year. C
Fun post. The costumes are amazing. I was a Fairy Godmother this year. It was soooo fun granting wishes with my wand.
What a creative idea Carol to be a Fairy Godmother! We would have loved to seen your costume and have our wishes granted. 🙂
Happy (belated) Halloween, girls! ‘Practical Magic’ sounds like a scream – I must rent that one next year. Or maybe I won’t wait that long 😉
Hope you enjoyed Halloween as well Helen! You don’t need to wait for Halloween to watch Practical Magic. We recommend it any time of the year.
The spaghetti squash does look like a pumpkin and is perfect for Halloween dinner. Practical Magic is one of my favorites too and now that I got reminded of it I want to watch it tonight while I pass out Halloween candy.
Hope you got to watch Practical Magic and enjoy Halloween!
The green Poison Ivy outfit is just too cute! Love the real vines and all that green. Looks like you had so much fun that night. Happy Halloween!
The vines for Poison Ivy came from the garden and it was really a very fun night dancing and celebrating and watching all those exciting costumes.
Hey I am dressed like a sugar skull too as I write this, pic on my post 😉 great favorites happy Halloween!
How fun Evelyne! Hope you had a great Halloween! I used eyeliner for the details and it stays on very well, but is a little hard to remove. C
Awesome costumes and the red dress is super! Have a great Halloween tonight.
Happy Halloween David!

You look cool in that dirndl dress!
Thanks and Happy Halloween Angie. It is an all year around dirndl. 🙂
