Halloween 2010 in Salem, MA: A Photo Tour
Join us for a photo tour of our hometown, Salem, Massachusetts. We captured a little of what it’s like to be here on Halloween day and night–from ghosts and goblins to a real magic circle with the witches of Salem.
A Halloween Tour of Salem’s Essex Street
We have a lot of love for our friends here in town, many of whom run small shops and businesses. For this post, I’m going to skip most of the museum-y type places, and instead show you guys a little bit about what it’s like to walk around town during October.
Baked Jelly Doughnuts (a.k.a. Soufganiyot)
If you know me, you know I have a great fondness for jam, jelly, and marmalade.

It’s flaky and buttery and crisp (not to mention reliable and dependent). So, when Pepperidge Farm recently asked us to do a little recipe development for [...]
Fresh and Spicy Peach Salsa
This is one of my favorite fruity salsas. The sweetness of the peaches is offset by spicy Serrano chilis, lime, cilantro, and an unexpected party guest: cool, crisp cucumber.
Drunken Coffee Jello Squares
OK, kids: This is coffee. In solid form. It’s been sweetened with condensed milk and booze-ified with a healthy dose of Kahlua—then rubberized into a blissful, cocktail-hour finger food thanks to the magic of gelatin. Now, you have to like Jello, or Jello-like food, for this to work. If you do, you’re in for a treat.
