Halloween Extravaganza 2011

Halloween this year was pretty awesome despite living in a country that does not really celebrate it. We kicked off Halloween weekend by going to the First Alleyway's Trick or Taco night. We invited Jason and Emily to come with us and it was a delicious, awesome night. We did not go in costumes but our friend Tony who works the bar upstairs definitely did and I managed to get a pretty good picture of it:

his make up is awesome because I happen to be a huge of Mr. Jack Skellington. :) The special for the night was two tacos and a draft beer. Since I am currently unable to imbibe alcohol at the moment, Tony was nice enough to accommodate me with a Shirley Temple :D We also ordered poutine and chips and salsa. For those of my friends who do not know, poutine is french fries covered in brown gravy and topped with mozzarella cheese. In other words, it is amazing!

After dinner we went on a walk downtown in search of a Tom and Toms cafe because they have great pretzels. On our trip we found a Korean dressed like Santa for Halloween selling fried potatoes:

I can't explain why Justin looks so disgusted but it is the best photo-bomb I have ever seen, lol. We found Tom and Toms and enjoyed some Cinnamon sugar pretzels with Caramel sauce and I had a hocho. It was an amazing dessert and even more amazing is this awesome picture a Korean dude let us take of him. His outfit was just too amazing to not photograph. Thanks so much Emily for having the guts to take my camera and get the picture!

We got home and surprised Gorbachev with a Halloween costume: Pikachu. Unfortunately it was too small so we could only make him wear it long enough for pictures!

The next day we watched Cloverfield with Jason and Emily in the evening and were surprised with plastic Jack-o-Lanterns full of treats! On the actual date of Halloween, Justin and I enjoyed Caramel Apple Pie Cupcakes, The Walking Dead, and Friday the 13th. I had never seen Friday the 13th before and when Jason jumped out of the water at the end I literally jumped n the air and screamed my head off. I am sure our neighbors loved that at 2 in the morning! Now we are just focusing on getting everything ready Thanksgiving which should an amazingly awesome day with a lot of the comforting foods we remember so fondly from home!
