Happy All Things Thursday!
And…
Happy Halloween! Bring on the candy, please.
On this glorious night we watch scary movies and consume ridiculous amounts of candy. I love it. Unfortunately, a North Dakota woman doesn’t feel the same. Apparently, she’ll be giving out ‘fat letters‘ to kids she deems ‘moderately obese’ this year. What the what? Way to pile on the shame, lady bitch. Can you guess how the kids are going to deal with that? Yeah, they’ll still be stuffing their faces with Halloween candy, but now it’ll be for all the wrong reasons. Well done. (Huffington Post)
There’s a possibility that a Sriracha shortage is forthcoming in America. Apparently, the factory that makes it emits pungent fumes, which burns the throats and eyes of the townsfolk of Irwindale. The city is trying to shut the factory down. When I read about it I almost cried, then ran to the kitchen to check my current stash. I mean…I don’t want these people to suffer, but…how about you guys take one for the team? (Huffington Post)
On the recipe front…
I must add this Pumpkin Pie with a Chocolate Crust to my collection of all things pumpkin. (Spoon Fork Bacon)
While I’m at it, I’ll need to add this Pumpkin Sage Polenta, as well. (The Kitchn)
These Dulce de Leche Brownies look divine. I’m going to bake them and consume them all by myself. Don’t judge. (Two Peas and her Pod)
What I really wanted for breakfast this morning was Goat Cheese and Chives Grits. What I got instead was lukewarm tea and a head cold. (The Kitchn)
Lately, I’ve been making these Pumpkin Waffles quite a bit. I think I’ll switch it up and make some Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes. Who wants to join me? (No. 2 Pencil and Baking Bites, respectively.)
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to bed. I need sleep…plus, the last season of Damages.
P.S. Please save the Kit Kats, Snickers, and Butterfingers for me.
If humans had genuine courage, they’d wear their costumes everyday of the year, not just on Halloween.
