A Halloween dinner party

No fancy dress, no monsters, but a little wintery chill as the clocks go back and we hunker together for warm and good food. This Daria (l), Gilles (c) and Jonathan (r), friends of Karen's, and now mine, too! Gilles supplied the camera tonight and also a wonderful tarte aux pommes. Fantastique!

My piece de resistance was a batch of acorn squash, carved as jack o'lanterns, stuffed with gruyere and cream, then baked.

Bart added beetroot to his squash to create a digustingly lurid dish we christened 'pumpkin brains'. Spooky! Trika was in attendance, too, but somehow managed to avoid being photographed. Yes, we suspect she is really a vampire, too.

Please go home, we want to spend time with our enormous porch, wonky pumpkin and pile of washing up
