Since reading about it in the Times on Wednesday, I’ve really been enjoying  Candy Professor , a blog by Samira Kawash, PhD, where she explores our country’s relationship with candy.

As you can imagine, there are quite a few entries about Halloween. I wanted to share this particular post about a Thanksgiving tradition of going from house to house begging change that eventually became the trick-or-treating we all know and love (or love to hate).

Speaking of Halloween, it looks like this year is going to be a little more mellow than years past, though I can’t even remember what I did last year! Chris and I are going to a movie marathon at a friend’s house, but I don’t think we’re even going to dress up.

What are you up to this Halloween! Have a great one!
