Un Día Festivo de Octubre

Happy October! I woke up to spider webs and ghosts sprawled out across my lobby this morning and found it only appropriate to write today about el Día de Los Muertos. Celebrated especially in Mexico, this holiday (a.k.a. Day of the Dead) honors family members who have passed away. It is the idea that on this day (October 31st), the souls of the dead come back and are with the families. To celebrate the occasion, there are many traditional foods that are prepared, including Pan de Muerto (Bread of the Dead). Here's a link with the recipe: Pan de Muerto
Enjoy!!
