Todos Santos

Today we are celebrating Todos Santos, or All Saints Day.

On Todos Santos, we pause to remember our dear, departed loved ones by setting out pictures and mementos, and sharing our memories. 



We started celebrating early again this year. Over the weekend, we shared a nice dinner with Susie. 

I made barmbrack -- a sort of Irish quick bread full of raisins -- and Remembrance Cookies -- rosemary shortbread cookies in the shape of people, to call to mind the people who have passed on, and the things you love about them.






AJ made a delicious salmon-miso chowder.



And Susie brought over some fancy ciders -- the best beverage for celebrating the season!
