All Souls Night
Family gathering, mahjong session, lighting of candles and wishing joss sticks, and dinner
Wearing my second kerchief with a design of skulls, also a gift from my youngest sister, Sylvia, in Sydney
Tonight I introduced the family to two things they never had before: pickled grape leaves from Syria to go with our meat dishes and, for dessert, Coffee Crumble ice cream drizzled with Kahlua coffee liqueur from Mexico.
Angelique was in Bataan and could not join us.
Thus did we conclude our long, Halloween weekend, and I slept like a baby afterward.
