Personally, I'm planning to make an Irish cream cake for Mabon...but then I don't really match my food to the holiday, I just make what's good (i tend to get a lot of requests for specific dishes and end up making those....right now I'm being hounded for my spicy mocha brownies, but I've decided to shake it up a bit....lol)

Ah Yes! I was thinking of haveing a little get together with my family, sence it will be right after i move in i can get away with it and no one whould wonder why i invited them over.

But my fionce dosnt like sharing his food, specialy when it comes to meat, lol. But i am still going to make a feast all the same!

Main dish: Post Rost
Side: Sweet Patatow Cassarolle
Desert: Salem Witch Pudding Recipe by Gerina Dunwich ( pumkin cassarolle looking thing)
Bread: sweet corn bread

This is what i want to do atlest, donno if we can afford it, if we cant then i will just gut down, or make meatless soup.

But if your a vegitarian, there are many soups that dont have meat in them, or you can just take the rost out of that and make it reguler soup.

I can get you all all thes recipies if anyone is intrested in them
