It was a night of beauty and gyspies and candy..

Last evening was beautiful..warm even, by Utah fall standards anyway.

The kind of Saturday when you know why you love fall..


Crunchy leaves..

Bright colors...

Candy..

um....I mean..all the cute Trick-or-Treaters..

..and candy...

And being a long-distance Grammie on Halloween is particularly hard..

I would like to take the Grands out Trick-or-Treating before they think they're too old to go..or have a party to attend..

However, thanks to digital cameras and the InterWeb...I can see the fun almost as it happens:

There is something in October
Sets the gypsy blood astir
We must rise and follow her
When from every hill of flame
She calls and calls
each vagabond by name

~William Bliss Carman

And so it is to pass, that the food that follows candy (which, arguably is not food, per se) shall be of the fun yet creepy variety..

Rolled out by loving gypsy just-washed-and-hand-sanitized-hands...

Carefully shaped into....

Cute little "mummy-dogs"..
{no dogs were harmed in the making of these Mummies..}

Baked until Golden and oh-so-warm-and-flaky..Mmmm...

Must be eaten by 2's...

Look at that proud baker!

Miss you Miss Em...now, don't eat too much candy...after all I may visit and want some :-)
