Dear Waves,
Thank you for this. :)
Lovely colors (can you tell I am not really awake . . . . noticing colors here.) :confused:

WE had a lovely evening ....over a hundred children!
I'll post some pictures in the photos thread when hubby uploads them.
We gave out smarties and gum and dumb dumb suckers and real looking spiders!
HA!:eek:

these are similar looking to the kinds of cookies we get in october-november... for the Day of the Dead (today, Nov 2, All Souls Day). they call them the Bones of the Dead. i've had variations with/without
-- almonds
-- pine nuts
-- raisins

all seem to have cinnamon and be liberally dusted with powdered sugar (perhaps to make them white, like bones? :D)

we don't have any right now... i wonder if mom will bring some home.....
