This: your scary-good Halloween dinner! I’ll admit—I was looking for something black.  Something that’s eerie to eat, and even if you are just staying home cozied up tonight, will give you a little sprinkle of Halloween spook.

Straight from The Cheese Queen: Kirstin Jackson chimes in with important grilled cheese reminders, and three unexpected flavor combinations. You don’t have to pick favorites. Try them all.

Remember those preserved lemons I showed you how to make last week? I’ve been scheming fun new ways to use them—cocktails, appetizers, even desserts.  But so far, one of my favorites has been this lemony pea pasta inspired by my friend Shane, the pasta king of San Francisco.
