What are you going to be for Halloween?

Matt and I have been carving pumpkins for our party on Friday and still have a few more to go.  I hope everyone has a frightfully fun night!

Here’s a completely unscientific look at the candy you love and what is says about you.

Sorry there’s no Milky Way Monica, but they do cover those Halloween Horrors: Candy Corn.  My Favorite has always been the Butterfinger which means I am not to be trusted and slippery!

I made this for dinner tonight. It’s soup-er easy, and totally awesome and tasty:

1 28 OZ can crushed tomatoes
1 quart vegetable (or chicken) broth
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can tomato paste
1 large red pepper

1/2 jar of peanut butter, crunchy
1 cup brown rice
curry powder (if desired)

saute the veggies. add the liquids and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Add in the rice and let it get soft. stir in the peanut butter (the more you add, the thinker the soup) and curry. Let cook for another 15 minutes and serve hot.

Variation: Add lots of peanut butter and make a thinker soup, and then serve over chicken breast.

Radio Lab is a program on WNYC, NYC’s public radio station.  These two guys investigate where science meets art, religion, and humanity.  Each week they bring stories on a variety of topics that interview lots of interesting people.  They also have great production values on the show that make it highly entertaining to listen to.  Radio Lab is one of the high points of my week, and this week’s episode about space is one of the best- covering the Story of the Golden Record on the Voyager space craft (which happens to be one of the most romantic things I’ve ever heard) to just how big space is, and where art fits into all that.  Here is a direct link to the MP3 you can download and listen to.
