Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muretos . . . I'm a little late posting about "Day of the Dead" - but wanted to share this dish that Richard gave me the other day. He knows I have always been fascinated by this holiday and it's traditions. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed - I have always wanted to make an altar, but never seem to get it done . . . I am told it isn't just done for that particular day - and they can be left up all year round. If I get going on that and actually make the time to do it - I will post some pictures.
