Something About Nothing ... #12

nice work

someome got creative

Kids. We carve every year. Up to 9 or 10, DB over 50 so far. Lights out by 8. Ha ha, kid was like they have big candy bars. We are a full size candy house.

Hope Robo is having a great party.

Lovely and cool night. Clear sky and moon is so bright.

Happy Halloween homies!
 
Happy Halloween everyone

Quiet night here...made chilli and now enjoying a glass of wine after dinner.

Cool pumpkins Lynne.

I never met a dessert that I didn't like, love trifle, carrot cake and banana bread...i'll take Carole's share :flower3:
 
Kids started ringing the doorbell about 4:30

Turned off the porch lights at 8:30

Only a couple candy bars left

We get car loads from outside the neighborhood
They start at our hoa and then on to another one
Lol

Families in our neighborhood have younger kids and most dressed up in full costumes

So cute!

Just in case I ran out of candy bars, I had money to give out ......always thinking ahead just in case
 
Happy halloween!
Did some last minute cobwebs. SOmehow ended up in lots of halloween stores today. Was a bit dense in one of them. Thought the signs said 50% off. IT actually said BOGO 50% off. CouLdnt do anything about it once I realized.... no returns. Oops. My phone I being rather special today so quick post. Hope you guys had more trick or treaters than I did!

We had chili, subs, Halloween chips and dip, salads and veggies and fruit trays. Everyone had a good time and they took home plenty of treats.

Didn’t have as many Trick or Treaters this year.

Trifle...no go, but banana bread and carrot cake...oh yeah!:-)

You’re the first person I know loves both........lol......well, Janet of course........but I think I may even try Janet’s as her baking sounds lovely!!

Yay, a kindred spirit. I don’t really know what trifle is though.

Trifle is generally thought of as a 1970’s outdated dish your grandmother would serve........base is jelly (jello) with soaked sponge, kind of like pound cake or lady fingers put in jelly before it sets......this is what grossed me out about it.... then custard on top once jelly sets and cream on top of custard with coloured sprinkles on the very top......that’s the traditional UK old style.......even worse some made it with sherry.......I like alcohol, but hate hate hate it in desserts.........so it was never something I would eat......


Nice!!!

Here’s a pic of a Trifle

That’s a very fancy dish and not what folks here would associate as “trifle” certainly now it can be made fancier and so many different flavours.......Internet is full of fancy pics...........but those bits of cake in the jelly ugh.........not for me.........I’ll try and find a picture of the 1970’s plain trifle I despise so much.........

Your table above looks so good though :thumbsup2

Not the best picture, but this was the boxed......yes boxed trifle so many made when I was a child in the 70`s.........the four sachets were inside and you made them individually up then put them all together.........

My mum used to make her own custard from scratch and real cream on top instead of the synthetic stuff in the box.....but I still wouldn't eat it.......


 
That picture reminds me of the molded geletin desserts that were popular in the 70’s. Ewww.......
I really don’t like Jell-O anyway.


I just did a Google search, I had forgotten that there were also molded Jell-O salads. I think I’m going to be ill now.

Yay! That means it's the first day of November. And it's cool. Went down to 34 last night. Ahhh, the winter is coming. Don't say the s word. Not ready for that anytime soon.

Yeah, I was never a fan of jello with whip cream or any of those layered desserts. Yeah, those molded jello with stuff in it was ewww for sure Charades. Ahhh the 70's. I'm glad to forget some of the fads we had then.

I think we had around 16. That is generally normal for us. I like how the teen stayed on the street, and adult came to the door and shouted back what candy I had, then took it for her and another kid. Yeah, all should come to the door. Not cool in my book. Oh well, I let him take 3. Enjoyed some of the costumes. Little 4 year old neighbor was a chocolate chip cookie. She was so cute. And the little guy other neighbor was a shark. Some creative stuff too. Little one went out with her friends. She was a teen cartoon character, but the name or show I can never get stuck in my head. She dropped her bag, took a hot shower, and was in bed before me. By 6 last night, it was 49 degrees. A chilly Halloween night, but at least the wind was around 5 mph, so not very windy, and clear, so not wet as well.

Time for a very large cup of tea. It's going to be a cool day, 59 by 3pm. Heavier coat worn this morning. And, enjoyed a heated seat.

th
Yes, it is Wednesday, and if Keisha or others are in a sugar coma, it's hump day, the day of the week that we need to get by to see the week-end. And ours should be wet, than lovely. This cold snap will end with warm air bringing rain by Friday.

Enjoy and relax..... only
th
days until Christmas!
th
HeHe, I need more tea.
 
Happy November All!!
2 Months and 6 Days until I take off!

Halloween was postponed until Friday, so no kids last night. Got to play 3 more worlds in Super Mario Odyssey! It's really a great game, probably one of Nintendo's best. Tonight is a shift at GameStop. Wheee! :) Work is so boring right now, but I guess that's good because I hate working. :)

Yep, that's what I think of when I think of trifle. Not a fan.

Agree with Mac, Robo's pic looks like a multi-layered strawberry shortcake (with raspberries on top). Love strawberry shortcake (not with raspberries).
 
Cool rainy day here. Had to have middle at school by 6:50 am for her envirothon competition, then had to wake middle up at 7:30 (he's usually up by 7 on his own). He then asked to be taken to school instead of walking to bus stop as it started to rain. Oh and we got woken by a 230 am prankster ringing doorbell. Did manage to snag a 1900 PF breakfast for my niece (saw TP alert for a BoG dinner but it was already gone).
So much to do today but I've crawled back into bed for now...

Ew no wonder Schumi doesn't like trifle! And just no to the molded jello things with random fruit (or vegetables) in them! But that reminds me I need to make some pumpkin pie bread.

Wingapalooza this weekend! Lots of chicken wings to be had! Last year raised over $70k for children's charities. DH has been living/breathing it again this year for past several weeks (president of club that puts it on and committee chair).

We didn't have near as many people out nor treaters as years past. Think all the "convenient and safe" trunk or treats going on over weekend is killing neighborhood functions (major pet peeve of mineo_O)
My neighbor got a wig for his dog. In the dusk it really did look like a lion running around. He's the sweetest baby ever though. Name is ESOB (expensive son of b-). He has a sister named Maggie that thinks she's a lap dog (120# lap dog). And that's my son as a force wielding ninja rebel or something. We also gave out full size Worlds Finest Chocolate Carmel bars.
