Carrot Fingers

I wanted to make something creepy looking for Halloween. This is what I came up with (got the idea off a Web site).

Pumpkin Hummus

This really adds something nice to the flavor of hummus, and is a good use for roasted pumpkin flesh.

Apologies for the worse-than-usual photo; as [...]

Tomato Manchego Toast

This was delicious! John used a rosemary manchego. I even ate leftovers by taking the cheese back off, and re-toasting the bread with the tomato still on.
