Before we get to the easy and delightful walnut and carob cookies that are the topic of today’s post, I want to say that my heart goes out to everyone in the Northeast who has been affected by Sandy.

It’s an appropriately gusty and rainy night for a spooky, Halloween-themed post; if you’re anyplace along the East Coast, I hope you’re staying safe and warm tonight.

Happy Passover weekend to all of my readers who are celebrating! I’m not particularly observant in any religious direction, but I was raised Episcopalian.

Every year on St. Pat’s day, people who aren’t busy enjoying green beer at bars across the nation busy themselves instead with preparing green food: green cookies, green cakes, green muffins, and so on.
