(that’s me on the right)

Also known as El Dia de los Muertos or All Soul’s Day, The Day of the Dead is a popular holiday celebrated anywhere with sizeable members of the Mexican and Latin American communities.

The Day of the Dead is a special occasion where people gather together to honor their late relatives and ancestors with festive sweets and special foods (and in parts of Charleston, SC me…as it happens to be my birthday).

Don’t worry, the last time I checked I was still among the “early”. (Besides, I doubt I could get such great Wifi signal from beyond the pale.)

Below are delicious and fun recipes from our special Halloween Twitter Marathon from food and cooking blogs all over the world. (We’re huggingthecoast on Twitter.)
