I was intrigued when he told me when he told me he wanted to be a black panther for Halloween. It turns out, he meant the big cat. I will be cleaning up black fur from my workspace until the end of time.

Take It Slow

We ate this up, we loved it so. Sausage, White Bean and Kale soup is a weeknight staple at our house. I add ginger to my broth to soothe after a weekend of rich food. To make the meal more substantial, I served our dinner with al dente farfale pasta, but it's delicious on it's own, and it would be even more nutritious (and gluten free) over quinoa or brown rice.

Hope you had a great weekend. Ours was busy, as we hopped from one youngling party to the next. Yesterday we hosted our annual pumpkin carving party here in Petaluma. Picture a packed house full of screaming little children smuggling cookies with some pumpkin carving on the side. We capped it all off with a party of 3 in my family room, which ended in a fit of excitement when our San Francisco Giants won the World Series. Jasper has become quite the baseball nut, and we let him stay up well past his bedtime to watch what we all suspected would be the final game of the long season. He got the go ahead to throw a cauldron of popcorn in the air to celebrate. It was better than champagne.

I'm about to make about 40 or so of these as a favor for our pumpkin party. I found course black sea salt at Whole Foods to make this irresistible sweet and salty combination; using extra small Fuji apples keeps them crisp and slightly tart. For 10 apples melt one 11oz package of caramel with 2 tbsp of water. Insert small craft sticks into washed apples (you can also use cake pop sticks) and dredge them in the caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow to set in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Have a spooky weekend!
