Happy Halloween!

It's not a very regional holiday, but we really enjoyed these "Spooky Ghost Meringues" (I used raisins from By Nature for the eyes instead of candy sprinkles). Other early-spring Halloween stand-ins...



...ghoulish white asparagus...



...and—the next best thing to pumpkins—bright yellow baby gem squash. Both from the African Potato stand at the Fresh Goods Market.
