Hello hello our costumed friends! We know that we specialize in providing you with the most fabulous, funkiest costumes around. But we also know that a big part of Thanksgiving is the FOOD, and so we're going to put a little somethin' somethin' in our blog for the next couple of weeks. We'll be providing you with fantastic food recipes for the Thanksgiving holiday. Then, once Thanksgiving has come and gone, we'll give you some excellent recipes for Christmas cookies, dinners, ornaments, etc. Making stuff (instead of buying it in the store) is a great way to bring the family together, so get cooking!
