November 1 and 2 were both Dia de los Muertos. A friend of mine who also loves to celebrate dressed up in clothing and accessories that worked for celebrating.
November 1 was also National Cinnamon Day so I enjoyed some nice hot chocolate with cinnamon and whipped cream. Mmmmmm. I love cinnamon. 
We had them along with enchiladas, salad, and chunks of sourdough bread. The person who taught sourdough baking for our Relief Society activity also gave us a recipe for a loaf using sourdough discard so I tried it out. 
My opinion? Not as good as the time consuming sourdough which really has that good sourdough flavor. This was just like a regular yeast bread but yay for trying things out, right?
November 2 was also Plan Your Epitaph Day. Jr. Jr. and Nichole who were in charge of treat and activity for Family Home Evening tried to pick things that fit with that and Day of the Dead.
We ended up with Chocolate Cookie Crumble Ice Cream and playing Grim Fandango. The ice cream reminded me of chocolate pudding dirt. Dirt fits with death and burial and all that jazz. And Grim Fandango... well... it's obvious how it fits.
