Rules you must follow to survive Halloween

As we all know, the season of ghosts and goblins is upon us. For many of us (and by that I mean me) the season is filled with horrors that are unimaginable - and I'm not just talking about leftover candy. Mainly because in my house, there's no such thing as leftover candy.

Celebrate with pumpkin cupcakes

Before I present my Halloween themed column, I am thrilled to share information about an exciting, unique and delicious event and dining experience. The inaugural “Farm to Table Harvest Celebration” is Saturday, Nov. 2, and encompasses the philosophy of “eating local.” I was fortunate to preview the menu, which showcases South Valley produce, beef breed and feed in Santa Clara County and local wines. The talents of seven chefs are featured with wine pairings for each course. If you have a passion for food, do not miss this event. It is anticipated to become a premiere food experience in the entire bay area. Details: Santa Clara County Farm Bureau at (408) 776-1684.

Our only professional sports event and we have to wave goodbye

Gorgeous time of year Indian Summer is in the Hayes Valley in San Martin where the PGA Golf professionals show up to play each fall in early October. Crisp CordeValle Golf Resort mornings yield to sunshiny warm afternoons at the Frys.Com Open. The views are as soothing as a Fred Couple’s swing. It’s a walk in a natural park interrupted by occasional roars from the happy crowd, announcements on the first tee … please welcome our 11:22 a.m. pairing … Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera from Argentina … and next to tee off 1997 British Open Champion Justin Leonard from Dallas, Texas ... and bellows from the beer-for-birdies bunch at the pavilion aside the 17th green.

Cemetery hosts Day of the Dead celebration

Halloween is fast-approaching, much to the pleasure of candy-loving children. The ancient Celts, who inhabited the area now occupied by Great Britain, Ireland and Normandy, believed that on this night, called “Samhain,” the spirits of the dead returned to earth, and they welcomed them with food and bonfires.

“Beer hole” gets plenty to cheer about, including one of the best shots of the day

The beer was flowing Saturday and the cheers were loud.
