For the past 19 years, I have stayed in on Halloween to prepare a huge feast for the kids and their friends for when they return from trick-or-treating with my wife and the other Moms and Dads.
This is the first year my kids are off doing their "own thing," and it feels really weird.
I suppose I can focus on giving out candy and whatnot, but it just doesn't feel the same...

for the record, the feast consisted of a dish I call "Fiesta Beef!"[with the exclamation point], roasted acorn squash with honey/butter/brown sugar, and dinner rolls.
The beef dish is basically cubed and browned beef slow-cooked in a Dutch oven with two jars of Newman's own Habanero-Lime salsa, caramelized onions, Spanish stuffed olives, and some bay leaf!
