Halloween Sake Tasting

Yum Community — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:02:46 -0800

This story was written by member lauren and comes from the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community.For Halloween, my husband and I opted for a quiet and delicious sake dinner at Hanazen rather than a crazy party! We tasted 5 different sakes, all of which were completely different. Some with the traditional earthy flavor and others with a light, fruit and flower flavor. All very different and uniquely delicious. Each sake was accompanied by a traditional Japanese dish. In my opinion, the perfect dinner! The pictures were taken with my iPhone!

For Halloween, Pepsi released a special limited-edition costumed can. Instead of the typical jack-o'-lanterns or orange and black theme, however, the soda company simply printed Halloween-related words like boo and ghost on the cans. Have you seen them in stores? What do you think of the design?

Come Party With Me: All Hallows' Eve - The Look

partysugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:50:08 -0700

It's easy to go all-out crazy with the decorations for a Halloween party. Think black rats, spiderwebs, glittery skulls, and hanging jack-o'-lanterns.

Throw in orange lights and lots of candles for spooky intimate lighting. Cover the table with a festive printed cloth.

Serve the food on black platters and in black bowls. Place skull glasses near the punch cauldron. Lastly, don't forget lots of your favorite Halloween candy!
