Making anything special for Halloween?
Comments (17)
11 months agolast modified: 11 months agoOlychick’s post made me think of these mini pumpkin cheese balls. I’ve actually saved some real pumpkin stems over the years that could be used for these (I know…😵💫!).
From this site.Also, a couple old favorites from Martha Stewart…Creature Chips With Guacamoldy and little Jack ’O Lantern Pumpkin Tarlets. Both easy and tasty.
Some pics I’ve kept for the ideas.
Oh, and my pumpkin bars. Always here for Halloween.

Do You Do Anything Special For Valentine's Day?
Comments (11)On her birthday I was going to make a cake for Jan, basically because I wanted to play around at decorating a cake, but she shot that idea down saying it wasn't on her diet... Well diet be damned, I am gonna make her a valentines cake complete with red roses on it, and if she don't like it, I guess I will have to eat it to,,,,but I am going to make it anyway....See MoreAnyone Have Anything Special They Are Doing Today?
Comments (21)This morning I made a bread delivery for Meals on wheels...Monday and Wed. we pick up everything that is left over at Panera Bread and take it to Meals on Wheels...Our people really, really appreciate getting those goodies plus the bread...I stayed and helped do the count for the day and then had a doctor's appointment...He's never sure just what to do with me...After I told him I was turning into a dizzy broad, he did order a brain scan (for real)...And along with the other hand full of meds he wants me to take something for my weakening bones...Every time I go, I seem to get another RX...Thank goodness I only have to pay the co pay....But the good news, I lost a couple of pounds..(not sure how that happened) I did clean the bathroom and kitchen and now I'm waiting for a friend to call to go to lunch...I should just stay home, I have a lot I could be doing outside... I'm going fix some stew in the crock pot and that might be it for the day..... Enjoy the rest of the day, everyone...See MoreDo You Do Anything Special For.....?
Comments (25)growing up we always had a bbq, the whole family together. some members would go to cemetery, but as soon as any decorations were put on graves here they would be gone the next day, so we stopped. i never went anyway, honestly i think its morbid but thats just my opinion...we always looked through albums. i know it sounds awful cold but i wont go to funerals at all. i do however think its in very poor taste when families do visit loved ones and plant something that your loved ones loved like say mums, something non invasive, only to go the next day and see a huge pile of everyones plants in a huge pile...boy that makes me madder than a wet hen!!!!...See MoreHelp!

Comments (3)Photosynthesis is a process during which the plant uses CO2 from the air and water from the soil along with little electromagnetic bundles from the sun (photons) to produce the plant's true food - glucose, with oxygen as a byproduct. Respiration can be said to be the opposite of photosynthesis, as it uses oxygen to burn/oxidize the sugar to produce the energy plants need to drive their systems and grow, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O –––> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 –––> 6CO2 + 6H2O Warm indoor temperatures and low humidity increase your plant's rate of respiration significantly, while short days and less intense light levels decrease the plant's ability to carry on photosynthesis, which we already know is the source of the plant's true food. Whenever a plant is using more energy during the respiration phase than it makes during photosynthesis, it is in serious trouble because the disparity between energy production and energy use must be rectified by calling on the plant's energy reserves, which are finite in the same sense that the reserve power in a battery is finite and eventually depleted when called on, which always results in death of the organism unless conditions change enough that the plant is able to make more food/energy than it uses. The chill of winter slows energy consumption dramatically, which means almost no energy is required to ensure the plant remains viable. In spring, the plant reawakens as temperatures move to the mid-40s, with almost all of the energy it had at the end of autumn. Ideally, the plant would be kept at temperatures between 32-42*F, and watered occasionally as required to keep the root/soil mass from drying completely. Al...See More- 11 months ago

The pepper tops are a great idea. This is one from the link I posted using a real pumpkin stem.

nancyjane, 1,500-2,000…WOW!!!😳
Years ago I found these Ladies’ Fingers and Man Toes in Martha Stewart Living. As I recall, the recipe was actually for pretzels, and I used sugar cookie dough.

11 months agoNo cooking, no trick or treating for me. I will be at the Barnes & Noble store in the Fair Lakes Mall, in Fairfax, Virginia, selling six of my books. The big push will be for "Putting a Ghost to Rest." If you're in the area, stop by!
11 months agoNot making anything special - maybe some popcorn, which I don't do very often. Pretty sure there won't be any trick-or-treaters in this condo we're living in now, so I may settle down to watch some fun spooky movies like Beetlejuice.
I did see these tho and saved the pic for future reference...

The first cookie is called a New Yorker. It's name comes from the shocked expression on the face. The second cookie is a 75mg Ghost we baked for Halloween several years ago and gave away to fellow guests at our resort in Jamaica.
