Making anything special for Halloween?
Comments (17)
7 months agolast modified: 7 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.

WANTED: Who's looking for anything special at the swap..?
Comments (29)Joyce, I'll bring some peonies too. I started them twenty some years ago and they are quite big now with lots of fragrant flowers each spring. I love the beauty and smell of peonies. It's the flower of good (money) fortune in many oriental cultures. That's why you often find large paintings of peonies in Chinese restaurants. I've done a few paintings of peonies myself, and sold some too, including 3 at the Fairview hospital, I believe. Unfortunately, I only have the Sorbet? I would like to trade it for other fragrant varieties, especially in red, white, mauve or yellow. Pauline, sorry about your knees. Hope your are feeling better. In case you can make it, I'll bring some bugle weed too. Don't worry, if you cannot, I'll save some for you later. Since Pauline probably won't come, does anyone have aloe vera and bee balm to trade with me? I'll bring some dieffenbachia and jade plant (money plant) too. I cut the dieffenbachia when it almost reached the ceiling and stuck the cuttings in the soil. Some rooted and some died. There are a few good-looking babies now. The leaves (often longer than a foot) are poisonous, if eaten. Therefore, keep away from children and pets that like to eat things. Anyone want orange daylily? If so, I have plenty to bring too....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 MoreAre you eating anything special this Friday evening?
Comments (21)I've been cooking dinners for us with limited supplies @ our rental house, so we don't have to interupt our renovation work. :0) I made spaghetti & meat balls......didn't have any soda crackers so I crushed cheese nips & added ranch dressing to put in the meatballs....."interesting" combination and NOT recommended. LOL...See More- 7 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.

7 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!
7 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.
