…and it just wouldn’t be Halloween without candy for dinner!  Seriously.  And it’s a good thing that dinner was easy to describe because I’ve got to keep this quick; I’m spending 8am – 9pm on campus tomorrow and I need to sleep.

Unfortunately I ran out of time this morning and didn’t even manage to finish more than 1/3 of my oatmeal.  My yogurt and pear held me over okay while I was busy, but the minute classes were done I needed to EAT!  I just had to get through my 30 minute commute (I walked today) to tear into this huge plate of bread with dipping oil.

Guys, this bread is so freaking good.  It speaks to my soul.

Mmmmmmn!

I was craving a Reece’s Cup all day but we were too cheap to buy candy so I settled on this peanut butter chocolate ice cream bowl instead.

I put a healthy scoop of chunky pb in the bottom of a cup, topped with mini chips, microwaved until melted, and then scooped on a bit of slow-churned vanilla ice cream.

So much better than the candy bar could ever be.

And I even did end up getting my candy.  I had to break a $20 before tomorrow so I bought 15cents worth of the good stuff from the bulk bins.

Followed by pumpkin beer!

We headed over to a friend’s house for a Halloween get-together and this Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin Ale was split three ways.

I also had a small cup of tasty punch,

a handful of pita chips with hummus,

and some organ sugar cookies.

I believe I ate a stomach and a humerus.

Other than cookies and company, the impetus for the get-together was introducing our friend Anna to the fabulousness that is “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

She’s a fan now!  Especially of the music.  Confession – I totally call “TNBC” by the title “This is Halloween” instead!  Happy Halloween, guys!
