It consisted of roasted fava beans, a mushroom medley and my aunt's famous Hot Asian Wings. Our neighbors downstairs brought up stencils along with their best pumpkin-carving game faces. The day was blustery, turning stormy. We even got a tornado warning text alert from the city, adding an appropriate touch of spookiness. Max and I wore themed outfits––his is from Aunt Jessi, mine an old maternity dress. The last time I wore it at 8 months pregnant, The Fella said I looked like a cute, little pumpkin––this was meant to be a compliment, but hmmm... And finally, no fall carving party would be complete without steaming mugs of mulled apple cider!
Nice work on the pumpkins! Max looks cute with them!
