Post of the Day--Halloween with Sammy & Johnny-Tricks (Games) and Treats (Cake)

We made it back from Wil's family home on Halloween with full stomachs and trick-or-treating on our minds.  I promptly got busy mixing up the cake.

Not as good as from scratch, but pretty darn moist and delicous.

And, I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but this fudgy frosting was pretty dang tasty!

We got the cake safely to Sammy and Johnny's house, thanks to Sammy giving us a ride.  I did not come up with any clever, or even simple costume, so there were no disguises at this event.

Sammy made a wonderful Spanish torta for dinner.  

It was a great mix of potatoes, zucchini, and egg. 

The surprise ingredient was tuna, of which I'm not a big fan. But, it ended up being quite good!

We followed dinner with, you guessed it, Uno and then Canasta. Sammy and I redeemed ourselves as the winners of the night. Yay for us!!  I'm pretty sure I may be dealing with full-fledged Canasta addicts at this point.  Every time I see Johnny or Sammy, they ask when we will be playing it again. I'm not ready for an intervention yet, but if I need help, I'm going to call ECL in to talk them down, ha!
