Hallow'een


Hoping that everybody in America and Canada are safe and not suffering from the horrible effects that hurricane 'Sandy' has caused...

Happy Halloween to those of you participating in the festivities.

I have done two pumpkins, one to take to the party tonight and one for home because I am still a big kid, who has eaten way too much candy this afternoon - there is still a bucket left for later!!

  1. Your pumpkins are brilliant! Very spooky. I gave in to demands and carved a pumpkin today, and very fun it was too. Enjoy your party.

  2. Wonderfully scary pumpkin! Hope you have a great time at your party. I live in upstate NY, so were spared most of the horrors of Sandy, but the coastal areas were devastated. The pictures sent by friends and relatives make me cry. But rebuilding has already begun. Take care and thank you for your incredible blog. It's so motivating and welcoming as well. And thanks as well to Laura for sending us to you! Be well, Linda

    1. Hello Linda,
      Thank you for your kind word and welcome, happy to have you here! We have been watching all the news reports and have friends in New York too (who thankfully are safe) but it is very saddening to see. I hope to see Laura next week, so will thank her too! Be safe and drop by soon!

    1. Hello Janet,
      Thank you! I loved doing them! There were a few bits that dropped on the floor - is there nothing a puppy won't eat!!! Thanks for stopping by.

    1. Hi Jim,
      Hope the rain has passed, thank you. Pumpkins small this year, less carving mind! Party was fun, with a lot of little devil princesses too pretty to be scary!

    1. Hi you two,
      Thank you, I try... There is usually more time and more gore, but quite enough for small children... mind you, they didn't seem scared at all - mostly focused on the candy!

  8. Hi Ivan,
    Just thought I'd let you know I made your sliced baked potatoes dish for dinner tonight. I used a bit too much stock, and I didn't get the slices arranged as nicely as you did, but it was a hit! Thanks.

    1. Hello Terry,
      Happy you tried it, hope it wasn't spoilt by too much stock - you could leave it in to dry out more, also ovens differ. Some potatoes will take in more liquid and also less needed if the slices are thicker. I hope you try it again!
