#453 - Candy Corn Thursday

[Bonny]

Peeps are even worse (imho, of course, like the candy corn. )

With the peeps it is just really hard to only eat one. Usually doing the whole package of 6 in a day really can give you a sugar high & cause severe hyperactivity.

I thought severe hyperactivity was the norm with you Bonny.

Oh Lordy, don't get Mz Gini going on peeps. She won't stop. Have you guys ever microwaved a peep?? Not a happy ending for the peep.

Brrr, it's cold here and dark and frosty. One Spanish Coffee for the road please. Thank doG it's Friday.

44 weeks to go to retirement **but who's counting** then I can tell my boss from hell to sit on her thumb and rotate......

Love Nestle's crunch bars.
It's nippy here today so I'd love some spiced pumpkin tea please.

[RICHARD]

Whew, that was an adventure......Just punched my way out of the lost and found.....whoever put up the spider webs in front of the door forgot I was in there!

I love the smell of Hershey's Special dark chocolate.

I don't eat much these days, but I did eat one PB cup and a Snickers

Ed just jumped on the keyboard and that was his message to you all..I'll be back, I have to love the edster...

Okay, after reading this thread I am definitely going to NEED chocolate!

Snickers is my all around #1 favorite candy bar.

I don't care much for candy corn either.

Dark chocolate does smell awesome Richard. Give Ed some extra love from me. I am thinking we need some updated photos. I still love that one of him lounging on the edge of the windowsill.

Ok, in the spirit of fun and Halloween, I have to tell a tale about my brother.

He is a candy hoarder. I discovered this when we were kids. I'm the sort who would eat my favorite treats first because my dad would eat them if I didn't. My bro was the opposite.

This was discovered one hot July day when my Mom was sweeping under his bed. Out rolled several of those candy Halloween pumpkins. The sort that taste like candy corns. He was trying to make his candy stash last until next Halloween!!!

Of course they were petrified by that time!!!

[Karen]

When I was a kid, after I ate a couple of pieces of my favorite kinds from my trick-or-treat bag, we kids would sometimes swap candies with each other, and then I would count out the days between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and try to ration it out to have it last until then!

[RICHARD]

Ed is passed out on the other recliner at the moment, so I have some free time.

I will try to catch the Edster 'posing'.


--------------------------

My dad used to 'screen' our candy and pull out all the stuff that he liked, We didn't know it at the time but he loved to stash candy and sometimes he would put stuff away so well that mom would find it months later.

For Christmas one year he got one of those Hickory Farm cheese and meat gift boxes. It turned up a few years later, shoved in the closet, all petrified.

We laughed and laughed about that....

.................

Since it's going to be cold tonight, let me fill some drink orders and put out a candy tray......Yes, we do have candy corn in the menu.

Now look - if you can't say anything nice about Peeps - then don't say anything at all. The theme is candy corn - try that in your microwave!

Have YOU tried it? I don't have a microwave so am curious!!!

[Lady's Human]

We can't nuke candy corn, it's never in the house long enough to get there.

While I'm up and about, I'll toss on a pot of coffee, anyone else want an Irish Coffee?

[RICHARD]

I'll do a cup with you.

I haven't drunk my 'one cup for the calendar quarter'.....

I could use a cinnamon roll too, I'll fire up the oven.

DONE!


------------------------

I was out for my walk yesterday and cannot believe the colors of the trees out here.

Wow, what have I been missing?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Um, Orc has his head stuck in the apple bobbing barrel. How long can he hold his breath?
