This is my first party in a long time, and my first Halloween party as a grown-up (giving). We're making a big pot of chili (have to fight over who gets to make it) in a big cast iron dutch oven and having "fixins" -- Fritos, cornbread sticks, crackers, cheese, chopped onions, etc. -- on the side. Since money's tight, and most people will offer anyway, I'm asking everyone to bring something to share. I doubt it will get more elaborate than that this time around, but I doubt people will complain. The people that used to have a party most of these folks went to never served any food at all.

Oh, and it's a bad movie night, so we'll have popcorn (probably a few different kinds), soda, etc. It's BYOB if people want. If no one volunteer to do dessert, I'll do cupcakes.

". . . he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was--a woman."
