One of my favorite things about graduate school is how seriously most of the people I know take Halloween, and costume parties in general. Gone are the days of purely revealing or unimaginative attire – instead, many people expend considerable effort to pull off witty homemade costumes. A welcome symptom of student procrastination.

Monthly Archives: October 2011On a foggy October morning two weeks ago, Nick and I left Chicago’s Union Station aboard the Amtrak Wolverine line. The route is a beautiful one, beginning in industrial Indiana towns that give way to sand dunes and Michigan vacation spots. The train passes through Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, and Ann Arbor – arriving in Detroit […] show 6 comments I ran the marathon the weekend you visited! Dreary, but great running weather, you are right. You captured the feeling of the weather perfectly in your photographs. I ran the marathon the weekend you visited! Dreary, but great running weather, you are right.

In early October I left my Thursday night Interface Design class and headed straight to Louisville, Kentucky.

I’m hoping that during the last tours I’ll finally be able to sip the bourbon without the wince, burn and sip-regret. To actually *run* all the way through there is a feat — bravo. Squash looks amazing. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for Kuri squash. That stretch of land is some of my favorite in the country, though I may be partial as I have family in the area.

Happy I came across your site. :) I spent this past weekend visiting Kentucky for the first time and running the Bourbon Chase (more on that soon when I finish editing my photos). The autumn color was truly spectacular and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful weekend. Even though we are experiencing a bit of warm snap right now, October has me thinking […] show 8 comments Roasted garlic is a great addition to lentil soup. Spot-on Fall recipe.

Sonny - these look great. my costume is a murder of crows, i made a ton of paper crows that i pinned to my body, wore a crazy propaghadi shirt that had a pile of animal carcasses on it and wore ripped tights on my legs and arms – in the rips i put bloody gashes and did the same to my face. i explained this to everyone all night, especially super drunks girls (over and over again). anyway, cheers and happy halloween. chef friends on mine: http://bit.ly/sILJ2F and this: http://bit.ly/v1HrI5

R Taylor - I just happened to check your website while looking for a cookie recipe. It’s not yet halloween but I’ll definitely try your recipe. I’ll make different shapes instead and put almonds all over as toppings. Thanks for sharing!
