Read Tales of Ghosts and Goblins in the Triangle
It’s not truly Halloween without spooky stories to tell in the dark. To celebrate Halloween like a Raleigh local, it’s time to settle down with a cup of hot cider and a good book about local haunts.
Ghosts of the Triangle is a book written by Richard and William Jackson, highlighting a variety of historical houses that are said to be haunted in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. You can read about the tales of the Dorothea Dix campus, The Carolina Inn, and more in this page-turning book.
If you want to read tales of ghosts and goblins right now, you can find more info on the Duke Mansion and Mordecai Manor here.
Snack on Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
While you’re carving your pumpkin, keep the seeds and set them aside to eat later, and follow these recipes to create tasty snacks to help get you in the fall spirit. (Quick tip: The secret to cooking the seeds correctly is to soak them first.)
This recipe for toasted pumpkin seeds is a fantastic recipe that our real estate team members have used and have had great success with.
Spice Up Your Usual Breakfast
If you enjoy cooking breakfast, it’s easy to add “pumpkin pie spice” to your oatmeal. You can also add pumpkin puree to your pancake or waffle mix, adjusting the thickness with milk or water. And if you’re a smoothie fan, you can easily add the spice or canned puree to add the fall flavor to enjoy the season even more.
