Halloween has always been one of those holidays that, for me, is full of heightened expectations and subtle letdowns. You get all dressed up, and yes it’s fun and exciting to see what costumes people have concocted. The fun of that is kind of ephemeral, however, and it seems like this year a lot of people didn’t even bother dressing up, no doubt due to the spooky state of the economy. (My own costume probably cost me less than a dollar overall, due to copious borrowing and innovation). There are long lines at bars you could ordinarily just stumble into without a second thought. And the parties…ehh.
Here is a song that sums up how I typically feel after Halloweens:

I did bake some cool brain bread to go with my zombie chef outfit, though:
Although, since the bread got super poofy, it doesn’t really look like “brains” to me, so much as “challah bread gone waaay unkosher.” What do you think?
