The only thing I willingly eat chocolate chips in is chocolate chip
cookies. Then DD made a commercial brownie mix with chocolate chips
in it for my grandson's birthday cake (which she didn't eat due to the
gluten) and I didn't chew on chocolate nuggets. The chocolate chips
had completely melted into the brownie! I wish all chocolate chip
added products were like that.

Yours probably came from an organic field, not the Roundup ready kind.

I used to buy cheap bulk candy and some good candy that I liked.

I handed out the cheap stuff first. The good candy was for the handful
of kids that I knew personally and also for leftovers for me.

When I was a kid and we lived in Virginia (the second time around) there
was a house around the corner where they'd rigged up a talking
Jack-O-Lantern. You had to go inside to see/hear it. The husband was
in the basement talking into a microphone. The wife was upstairs
handing out candy. We thought that was cool!

No one thought a thing about their kids going into a neighbor's house
back then (1960's) even if you didn't know them well.

Actual homemade treats! That's a blast from Halloween's past.

Thats true. In England though, they don't have a major invtervening
holiday though between Halloween and Xmas? In Canada (due to shorter
season) we are the cusp of their Thanksgiving, and USA folks have it in
November. I'm not sure if Thanksgiving is as big in Canada as USA, but
it's still pretty significant.

I hand out candy but it's all pre-wrapped stuff. Some years, we don't
get many kids and some years we get a ton of them, so it's hard to
gauge how much to get. As a result, I get the good stuff so that any
leftovers will have a happy home here.

It is commonly celebrated, but not quite to the extent that it is in the
US. I know that it is one of the big travel events of the year. It is
generally a time for families to get together and feast on a turkey with
all the trimmings. Unfortunately, it also seems to be sliding down the
path to a major shopping event.

I get what we like here. While i will always get a few kids, it can
vary from 30-90 and there's no telling each year in advance.

I have an easy out though. At work, we have a candy bowl that we keep
stocked year round (some 10 of us contribute but it's mostly me and
Jo). I might get enough candy for 120 kids to have 3-4 pieces each
then the excess gets split between our needs and my work stash for when
the bowl gets low.

At work, we only do pre-wrapped candy so it's pretty much me getting
extra when it's cheaper, then when the post halloween sales kick in, I
get even more.

Haven't handed out Halloween candy at my house since my grandchildren
because old enough to go trick r treating, so I hand out the candy at
their house while their parents go out with them. Back when I was
responsible for the leftovers, I gave out the candy I wasn't
interested in eating and saved the Hershey's mini-bars for last -
hoping I turned the light off before I gave them all away.

I used to go through my kids' haul and remove all the hard candy.

I used to make them. We life in a rural area and the only kids that came
to our house were about a half dozen neighbour kids, all friends of my
son. I found out their parents were tossing them so I stopped. Those
kids are all in their 30s now and we have not had any trick or treats in
more than 20 year.

My very favorite deep fried tempura battered veg is sweet potato. Pretty
much the same as your pumpkin. For veggies, you should keep the batter a
bit thicker than for meat.

I really hate the fall holidays in regard to television. All the food
shows will only concentrate on Halloween meals for the next few weeks.
After that, it will be all tradition Thanksgiving meals...then on to
Christmas.

Also with movies...all Halloween and horrow movies now, then on to the
Holiday movies later. By the time Christmas passes, you will be so damn
sick of Christmas and all the stupid repeated (over and over) movies.

Darn you. I have stated in the past that I have been for Japanese food a
food times and never been impressed with it. Tempura was always the
worst part of it. I had heard so much about the light crispy batter, but
every time I had it the batter was soggy and greasy. People have told
me that there are better places but my experiences have been such that I
am not inclined to bother looking. There are too many other good foods
out there to enjoy.

Sounds like they didnt use the ice water and dipped them let them sit
before frying.

The batter could have been too thick, but also the fryer temp wasn't
optimal for whatever reason. God forbid they were pre-coated like
onion rings, calamari and shrimp often are.

The old style local Okazuya tempura batter was super thick, doughy, and greasy! Sweet potato tempura was always a favorite. The food was made to be able to sit around for hours and served ala carte. You'd pick your favorites and have it boxed and then eat it for lunch later on. My Auntie used to have an Okazuya.

I only watch a couple of those movies, A Christmas Story, and A Christmas
Carol. I also like Christmas Vacation, but only every couple of years. I
don't usually watch the cooking shows during the Holidays, so it's bearable,
and time to break out the DVD's.

I tired of the old Christmas standards. Our family favourites for
Christmas are A Christmas Story and Better Off Dead.

We always watch Die Hard while trimming the tree. Hogfather is another
annual favorite, as is Donovan's Reef.

In November we always watch Escanaba in da Moonlight, since it is set
on the first day of deer season.

Boy it sure does take a long time to make this bread! Now you can make sweet bread French toast.

We love Portuguese sweet bread French toast on this island. Typically the bread is cut on the thick side. You have to find out how long to soak the bread. Some people like to get the bread well-soaked but I go for a light soak. If you go for soaking the bread well, you might want to finish it off in the oven. I'd make it this morning but I'm making cornbread instead.

I thought it would never rise!!!! But eventually ... it did LOL.
That first recipe I got they were rolling the dough and baking it freeform.
OH BOY I was so pleased you said to use a springform pan or it would have
crawled all over the oven LOL That is some sticky stuff. I did make the
full amount and it made a lot, but D is loving it He toasts it and put
golden syrup on. Of course now I now how to make it and how long it takes,
it won't be a surprise next time These loaves are going to last a few
days yet and then I will make his favourite cornbread next.

Obviously, your husband has excellent tastes in many different areas. Congrats.

I made some beef and mushroom hand pies last night. It has a sweet curry base. I will have one for lunch - I can tell it's going to be epic!

The next time I make Portuguese sweet bread, I'll fry up some of the batch. I think it will turn out fine.

Congrats.

Heh I don't just think ... he saw the vid and is wanting me to
make it lol And It Is All Your Fault We have plenty of the
sweetbread so guess what I will be making next? )

I rarely cook for myself, I always cook for him or family. I
enjoy cooking so much and if they love it ... I am happy)

We're lucky over here. Sometimes a big truck will park down the street and we can just buy hot malasadas off the truck. These things should be eaten shortly after they're made. They're not very good the next day. Just don't fry up a big batch.
