It's very popular in our area but they only go to houses that put up decorations. We did for a few years but it got too expensive. I think a lot of families from streets that had lots of apartment buildings were targetting our street.

Halloween is stupid anyway. Another bit of the  USA culture we inherited.

 

In both my parents culture they have a day of the dead. It is very different to Halloween though, it is a much more revered day for remembering your lost loved ones and taking care of their resting places. Coming from this perspective Halloween has always seemed a bit discourteous to me.

What culture was that?  I just wondered because I took a friend back to Poland to visit her elderly relatives who she hadn't met.  We visited a number of graveyards with well tendered graves of her deceased relatives (equipment kept near graves to use to keep the grave looking well cared for).  You could buy fresh flowers to put on the graves.  Impressive!

I don't like how Halloween has become Americanised here.

Ironically Polish is my mother's side, they celebrate Dzień Zaduszny what you might call All Souls Day, my father's side is Chinese Malay and they celebrate Qingming (Tomb Sweeping Day) but there is also the Ghost festival which I guess would be closer to Halloween however you don't make fun of the ghosts you are suppose to relieve their suffering.

What an interesting history you share.

I made a bacon and egg pie tonight, the first in many years. It was yummy. 

 

I bought a new pie dish from Willlams Sonoma. It's really good but the Pampas pastry sheets are a bit too small. Is it a US v Australian sizing problem? Who knows! Anyway a bit of rolling and patching on the bottom layer of pastry and it worked OK.

Well it is an easy thing to throw together so I used the left over mashed spuds from last night's "Thanksgiving" dinner and slammed together a nice Shepherd's pie.

Do you have Thanksgiving dinner like DT's mob, Lyle? I did not know Canadians were into that. Nice pie by the way, so turkey and veg inside?

Funny thing Les, I think our "Thanksgiving" was an actual "Holiday" (Day off with pay) before the one in the US. Personally I am having a hard time getting excited about many of the "Holidays", unfortunately the rampant marketing in North America has sucked all the joy out of these events.

I did make Turkey dinners as seems to be the requirement, I used the left overs for a delightful thing called a Turkey bun.

The Shepherd's pie is more traditional (at least in my world) it has ground beef, mixed veg and gravy.

Yes Lyle, our shepherds pie has your ingredients.

I’ve had some meat pies that I wasn’t sure had meat in them.

 

There was a farmers market I once visited with a vegan food stall, they had pies with sietan (a south east Asian fake meat). It wasn't half bad though it was probably the curry style sauce that made it work.
