This time of year always reminds me of an autumn family trip to Montreal in Canada a few years back. One of the places I particularly enjoyed was Atwater Market/Marche Atwater. It is a very large farmers’ market housed in a lovely old art deco building. There you will find all kinds of gourmet food, meat, veg, bread, cheeses and seasonal produce. See my main photo above for this shot I took of pumpkins resting in the autumn sun.
There was a buzz of excitement all around as it was Halloween. The scary, decorated pumpkin display was something else, as my photos below show.
That night in the city, we saw lots of little kids dressed up in cute but scary costumes, being escorted by their parents from house to house to trick or treat, as the darkness was drawing in.
The parks were beautiful as the trees were turning all shades of amber and orange, leaving a golden carpet of fallen leaves on the paths, as my photo below shows.
This Halloween I shall be baking one of my favourites – Pumpkin Spice Muffins, shown below. Check out the link for my full recipe and post.
Have a fun evening, whatever you are baking, cooking, eating or drinking. Just remember to have that jack o’lantern burning at the window to keep any spooky spirits at bay. After all, you don’t want end up in the same situation as R. Dean Taylor (also a Canadian), in this chiller thriller of a Motown classic I’m adding to the ADK Playlist: There’s a Ghost in My House.
Happy Halloween!
