I’m not big on doing “gross” foods usually, but a lot of people are for Halloween. I have seen some of the same ideas a thousand times at this point, so I was thrilled to see this one as something new.
And it’s all perfectly edible *and* desirable. Peeled grapes are all fine and dandy to pose as eyeballs for kids to feel in the dark, are is cold spaghetti for worms…. But who wants to eat those? On the flip side, chocolate covered strawberries? Who cares if they’re called hearts and the chocolate looks like blood? It’ll be delicious.
Sugar and Spice’s
fondue party post has several other dipping ideas, too, such as sponge cake as brains. You’ll have to check out the post for all of the pictures and tips.
This one’s for the squirrels
Who’ve ever had a broken acorn
Who’ve stepped upon a rosy thorn
No more reason to be so forlorn.
This one’s for the squirrels,
Who love their tasty snack
Who dream it’s everything they have
All around the world
This one’s for the squirrels….
Yes, that should be sang to the tune of “This One’s for the Girls”….and then you should never speak of it again. I know it’s not normal for everyone else to sing to their squirrel friends, but I certainly do.
For everyone else, there are Nutter Butter Hershey Kiss acorns. Technically they’re Nutter Butter bites, or they’d be quite the funky shape….although then the squirrels would probably just want them as is instead of in acorn form instead. ;)
Many years ago, I had a white chili at someone else’s house and fell in love with it.
As with most first loves, any attempt at love after that is never the same again. It doesn’t make it bad by any means and often times it can be so much better even, but you’ll never recreate the feeling of that first one.
That’s how my relationship with white chili is. I have tried making it myself several times. I have ordered it at restaurants. And it’s “okay” but it’s not the same.
I actually really enjoyed this particular chili (sorry, don’t know which recipe I used, though!), but it still didn’t have the heat of that first white chili I tried. That’s even with me having the second bowl down there with all that added pepper, in addition to it already having plenty of spice in it, plus onions.
Ah well.
At least they were all smiling, right?
