It’s Saturday! Halloween is here so it’s time to get the candy together for all the Trick-or-Treaters in your neighborhood. I usually go to my parent’s place because they get way more kids than in my neighborhood. Of course, with Covid-19 on the rise in Illinois, it’s hard to say if there will be anyone to hand out the candy to.

And if there are no Trick-Or-Treaters then what will I do with all those leftover Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, KitKat, M&Ms, Twix, Butterfinger, Crunch, Almond Joy, Whoppers, Zagnut, and candy corn? Yeah, that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing!

Oh! And remember—absolutely no Circus Peanuts! 

It’s Friday! Well, with tricks or treats just one day away, I thought I’d feature a few photos of a Halloween display in Orlando, Florida, that’s so convincingly gruesome that it’s got people calling 911. If you ask me, that’s just proof you’re doing Halloween right.

I’ve heard that many towns and cities have cancelled Halloween Trick-or-Treating due to the rise in Covid-19 infections. Here in my neighborhood the kids can rejoice because it’s still on. I’m okay with the decision because I think with a few mindful steps, the kids can still Trick-or-Treat safely. I doubt there will be as many as in the previous years, but I plan to be at the ready handing out the candy wearing a face mask.

Double babes & double jokes, you say? That’s exactly what I have for all of you this Friday… enjoy!

It’s Thursday. As the temperature continues to drop and the leaves begin to fall, it must be that time of the year again—time for homemade pumpkin seeds!  I gutted ‘ole Jack the other night and roasted up his seeds to a golden brown. This is my first batch of the season and they turned out fantastic! I like ’em really salty so I hit them generously with salt while they’re still wet from being rinsed. That way the salt sticks really well. Perfect for snacking while working throughout the day!
