In The Spirit of Halloween

“This has been posted before, but Halloween is coming up and I thought it'd be fun to repost it. Besides, lot's of newbies may not have seen it:

What's wrong with this picture?”

“Ah... the Classics!

Thanks, Artex. I was just thinking about that one the other day and wishing I had bookmarked it.”

“That one is pimp!

“Yeah, that is a classic. What about the one where the ghost chick goes through the room.”

“Ya that one is cool too!

8)”

“Chocolate Spider Cookies

In a minimum 6-qt pan on low heat, mix 12 oz of butterscotch morsels, 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate and 2 cups of peanut butter until blended. Turn off heat.

Add 13-15 oz of chow mien noodles and mix until well coated.

Put dollops of mix on wax paper (on cookie sheets or something). Refrigerate.

Yumbalicious!!!”

“...use a double boiler if you are really patient...


Don't get cheap or health conscious on the peanut butter. You have to use Skippy creamy. It has the right emulsifiers. You'll be sorry if you use anything else.”

“Sam's club here has 28+ lb. pumpkins for $5! I got a really nice one that weighs more than my daughter, I think. I know it's a little early, but it'll keep in a cool place.”

“How many pies can be made with that thing?”

“4 or 5, but I'm thinking more. I also make a really good pumpkin flan. Yum!”

“Pumpkin cheesecake!!!!!”

“We used to get pumpkin and sausage pasties when we still lived in Michigan. Dang those were good. The people that sold them only had them for the month of October.”

PASTIES????........”

“Yum! I love pasties.

div, pronounced "pah-sties." Not the little tassel booby things. LOL!”

“Halloween? that reminds me! i got this email the other day...the story is a little different from the one on the webpage that has the link to the video, but whatnever!

* make sure you're somewhere you can be loud, b/c you have to turn it up! *

"Strange but interesting.

This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot.

The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road....Spooky!

Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. If you have the sound up a little, you'll even hear the cameraman whispering in the background about it near the end of the commercial. A little creepy but pretty cool!"

(just click on where it says ghostly car ad)”

“I was hoping for a real ghoulie. You're just a big tease Lyra!”

“I'm not falling for that one again...”

“sorry Sass...well i thought the mist was scary, humph! if you want to be really scared, i'll send you a pic of me! haha.”

“Lyra, were you the one who posted that last year?”

“Yay! Must be that time of year again to use our ghoulish names.”

“LOL

OK...BOOOOO!!”

“LOL. Mighty fine name MightyDang.

Hmmm.....should I start a 2005 TT Halloween names thread, or just let the newbies and lurkers go crazy trying to figure out who's who. Me thinks I will go with the later.”

“Wahoo! I remembered my password!

I think it is a little early but it's good to shake the dust off now.”

“dang it took me a while but I finally remembered my Halloween username”

“no, i'd never seen it until last week! perchance i'm behind the times, LOL.”

“I have tried making pies out of the pumpkins we carve for Halloween and they are never any good. I use the little ones that you can get at the grocery (they are more brownish-orange) they turn out great. I don't know what the deal is. I make a mean pumpkin pie… most any kind of pastry actually. Wonder what that says about me as a man... :-/

“yeah the carving ones make icky pies. i made like a ton of pies last year out of the baking ones, which rocked. and then at Thanksgiving with all Tarpy's relatives i used one of the carving ones for a pie...everyone tried to pretend like they liked it, LOL. i told them i usually don't make such crappy pies! LOL. figures!”

“The carving ones are too stringy and watery. You have to cook it way down before it has any flavor. The smaller ones are much more flavorful...

“The small cooking pumpkins have drier, denser flesh and a higher sugar content.”

“I always wanted to try a pumpkin vindaloo but I could never figure out which type of pumpkin to use - basically you want something chuncky to substitute for the meat in one of the chicken vindaloo recipes”

“Canned chunk pumpkin. There used to be this Afghani restaurant here that had a truly heavenly stewed pumpkin, served with aromatic rice like I can't get even at an Indian restaurant and a flat bread like foccacia topped with kalonji (black onion) seeds. Dang I miss that place. You could also try using Calabaza squash, which is very much like pumpkin.”

“i've noticed that a lot of times people say "pumpkin" when what they really mean is squash in general...like my friend who is Guyanese calls this dish she actually makes with butternut squash "pumpkin whatever." i bet you could use just anything at all that you like that would hold its shape!

“Talking about holding ITS shape...Boo. Am I scary enough?
