I just got home and am beginning to plan out my evening. Tomorrow is Halloween and I'm so excited!! We are having a pot luck at school tomorrow. I'll be making 7 layer mexican dip. Or 8 layer. Or 6. Everytime I make it I come up with a different number of layers. This time I will be staring with a layer of refried beans, then sour cream, taco seasoned hamburger meat, salsa, shredded cheese, then topped with chunks of tomato, sliced jalapeno peppers, and olives. Yum! I usually make a huge batch of it for 2 selfish reasons. 1st, I love this stuff and never make it just for me and Jeff b/c we'll sit and eat it all. 2nd, after eating some of the leftovers, you can take the rest, wrap it up in a few flour tortillas, top with some enchilada sauce and shredded cheese, bake for a bit, and have some fabulous enchilada/burrito thingys. :) Yum yum!
In addition to the dip, I'll be bringing cookies. I'm going to make a batch of homemade sugar cookies, also my favorite. I'm going to change it up a bit this time though. I usually make powdered sugar icing, but this time, I'm going to use the icing that I put on my carrot cake, a cream cheese icing. It's really my favorite icing, so I'm going with that, dyed orange. I can't wait!
Since I'm spending all evening cooking things I can't yet eat, Jeff's bringing home some greasy burgers and fried okra from Ron's!
Man I love food!
Happy Halloween everyone!
