Ritual

Samhain dinner, dorm edition

Planning a tiny Samhain dinner with my roommates next weekend. Nobody else is a witch, but everybody misses somebody, so it works.

The plan: one empty chair at the table, a photo of each of our grandparents on the windowsill, LED tealights (approved by the RA, in writing, I have the email), and my grandma's pumpkin bread, which I have failed to make correctly three times so far.

We'll go around and each share one story about the person in our photo. That's the whole ritual. I think it's enough.

    It's more than enough. An empty chair and true stories is the oldest Samhain there is. Hope the pumpkin bread cooperates on attempt four.

    Add a pinch more salt than the recipe says and pull it five minutes early. Grandmas never write those parts down.
