How I Celebrated

Caramel apple pops (classic) and we tried making candy apples (my first time). So, I found out I prefer caramel apples and I really don't like how the candy coating sticks to your teeth. Terrible. Had to swish water in my mouth for a long time to get it all unstuck.

History

I have had several caramel apples, but not any other kind of candy apples. I have seen the red kind and wondered what they tasted like.
One of the reasons why having a kid is a good thing, is you get to go trick or treating and get free candy from them. It is too hard to convince people to give trick or treating adults candy.

Caramel flavored candy corn is much better than regular candy corn. But I still wanted to experiment with making butterfingers with the caramel flavored candy corn. Last time with regular candy corn it was bomb. I expect no less this time!

I usually eat oatmeal in the morning, but it kinda slipped our minds as we slept in today and had cold cereal for breakfast. Then I forgot about my oatmeal in the microwave while I was ironing my Halloween costume. Twice cooked oatmeal is not my fave.

Puchbowl wild foods and chocolate
Interesting concept that we are so dependent on store bought goods or farmed goods, that I wonder how many could make it foraging out there. I don't know if I could! I would probably end up dying from some poisonous plant or diseased animal.

History

Punchbowl
 Pumpkin is a vegetable I do enjoy eating. I saw mince pie at the store once and I thought it sounded disgusting and I was curious why they would call it mince meat pie if there is not meat in it. I guess it is supposed to have meat in it. Sugary meat sounds kind of good, I mean maple bacon is really good, and so is honey glazed ham, but I don't know about meat and raisins.

How I Celebrated

These chips weren't too greasy, but they kinda count. Didn't want to go out to buy anything today. didn't film my dinner either which may have counted? Stir fry noodle? I really didn't use a lot of oil so both of them were a bit of a fail maybe for the celebration, but a win for my body.

 Greasy food is really good. My tolerance has dropped recently which is also good. I think part of it has to do with switching to healthier oils and not frying things very often. It does seem to make greasy restaurant food taste that much better though.
