All Hallows Eve Supper

This Halloween, for the first time since moving to Manhattan almost seven years ago, I will be receiving trick-or-treaters. As someone who participated in the ritual candy gathering far beyond the socially sanctioned age (I was still casing the neighborhood for candy when most kids my age had a plan of attack that included toilet paper), I take my new role as purveyor of treats very seriously.
Since Halloween falls on a pesky weeknight, it’s important to be prepared. I recall sitting down to dinner and getting only a few bites in before the doorbell would begin to ring. So, for Halloween dinner this year, I’ve decided to make a bubbling cauldron of cheese fondue with seasonal veggies for dipping; it’s the perfect meal to be taken in bites between my ghostly guests.
