Happy Halloween (Post 93)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Happy Halloween!!

Well, I'm sure the question on your mind today is:

How long can I keep the Trick-or-Treat candy, before it goes bad?

Well, Surprise! Surprise! Candy never truly goes bad.

Do you know why?

Because of the huge amounts of sugar in it.

It will however lose it's flavor and color.

Carmel is good for 6 to 9 months or can be frozen and stay good for a year.

Gum is chewable for 6 to 9 months and then will dry out.

Candy Corn can last for 9 months if you just look at the package and don't open it, but if open last 3 to 6 months

Jelled Candy can last a year unopened, but only 6 to 9 months in a candy dish.

Hard Candy can last one year.

Chocolate - that ever loveable chocolate can last 1 to 2 years.

Enjoy the candy and hoard a little for those middle of the night cravings throughout the year.

A New Project (Post 86)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Ok, the holidays are coming - the seasons are changing - and guess what?

It's time to :

CLEAN OUT THE KITCHEN PANTRY!!!

For some of us - it has been years - I filled up a kitchen trash can with outdated cans - some of them expired in 2005 - I swear - I just bought that stuff - and if the labels on your spices have yellowed - it's time for the trash - Did you know that you are only supposed to keep spices for one year? After a year they lose their flavor - so the next time you buy a spice - use a permanent black marker and write the month and year on the top - so you know when to toss it out. Did you know that some baking goods - like pancake mix - can become toxic after the expiration date? - Someone could get really sick
Here's a list of things to do when cleaning out your pantry - to add to your ten cent crazy book

I know it sounds like a big job - but it will really only take about 30 minutes.

First - Take everything out - have the trash can nearby and check the dates as you pull things off the shelf.

Toss the old outdated stuff or anything dented - without a date or almost empty. Also anything you have not used in over a year

Set all the good stuff on the countertops or kitchen table.

Wipe down each shelf.

Organize everything while its on the table

Soft items should go toward the top of the pantry- paper towels, napkins etc - that way if you drop it on your head - you won't get hurt

Next should be things like: crackers, chips, snacks, cereals, pastas and noodles

At eye level should be cans - group - soups - meats - veggies - fruits - sauces and broths

Next should be baking supplies and spices - if you have any left after tossing the old - a plastic Lazy Susan can be bought for very little and is great for those little spice bottles and cans

Next should be any food items not already on a shelf - like those ready-made meals

Last should be anything heavy like bottles of water - juices - drinks etc.

Never store cleaning supplies with food - but it you must - put them on the very bottom so that if they spill - it will not be on food items.

Now you have a better idea of what you actually have in there! Plan meals around things that need to be used and make a list of spices you need to replace.

Enjoy your clean pantry and try to remember to clean it out again in April or May

Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips (Post 84)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Here's a list of Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips to add to your ten cent crazy book

An adult should always inspect children's candy when they are done trick-or-treating to remove open packages and choking hazards and throw out anything not factory-wrapped - no homemade treats unless you know the cook.- limit amount of treats to be eaten for the evening

Anyone Trick or Treating should always wear light colored clothing to be seen in the dark - and reflective tape should be put on bikes, skateboards, brooms and trick or treat bags

Map out a route so that everyone knows where they are going and how to get home

You may be dressed strange so be careful around animals, especially dogs

Stay on the sidewalks - don't walk in the street

Everyone should have a flashlight with fresh batteries

Stay off the grass and only visit homes with porch lights on

Don't talk to a stranger that approaches you, never go inside a strangers home or get into their car

Watch for cars - look both ways before crossing the street and cross at the corner, don't go between parked vehicles

Use face paint instead of a mask - test make-up on a small area of skin and never go to bed with it on

Use a glow stick instead of a candle in pumpkins. If there is a pumpkin with a candle, be careful, wigs, capes and costumes will catch fire if you get to close

Children should know how to call 9-1-1 if they become lost

Costume accessories (swords, knifes, sticks, canes) should be short, soft and flexible

Hats should not cover eyes

Shoes should fit well

Never trick or treat alone

Don't cut through alleys or fields, stay in populated, well lighted areas

Having a cell phone with you is always a good idea

Set a curfew time

Teddy Bear Day (Post 78)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Here's something to add to the calendar in your ten cent crazy book

October 13th is
National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work and School Day

You see in 1902 Teddy Roosevelt was invited to go hunting. When most of the other hunters had killed something and he had not, his attendants clubbed a black bear and tied it to a tree for him to shoot..
When he refused and said it was unsportsmanlike - political cartoonist had a field day and starting drawing cartoons - each making the bear smaller and smaller.
And the toy of a "Teddy" Bear came to be.

So it's good for us adults to have an excuse to carry our Teddy Bears around one day a year, thanks to a president who refused to use unsportsmanlike conduct.

So whether you have a good old fashion "Teddy" Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, Teddy Ruxpin or Care Bear get him out and take him to work.

Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins (Post 72)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book – read post 1-4 to find out how

Ok, it’s time to buy those pumpkins – whether you’re going to carve them or just sit them out in front of the house or on a kitchen counter or next to the fireplace, there are pumpkins everywhere you look. Find whatever pumpkin makes you feel happy – maybe it’s putting a pumpkin on every step – ranging in size from large too small or just one great big jolly pumpkin.
Pumpkins last a really long time if the weather is cool, and you don’t carve them – they can easily look good from Halloween until Thanksgiving.

If you do plan on carving your pumpkin into a jack-o’-lantern – here are some tips to add to your ten cent crazy book.

Before you get out the knife – think about it

If you carve your pumpkin, more than a week before Halloween – you will probably have gnats everywhere by time the trick or treating starts

Know what kind of face you want to give your pumpkin

Draw it on a piece of paper – really like it

Remember if you make cuts between the mouth and nose to close to each other your pumpkin may crack and fall apart

Buy the right pumpkin

Sometimes a malformed pumpkin will cost less, but if you get a big pumpkin with a flat side and a large stem – you can always lay it on its side and display the stem as the pumpkins nose

Before carving – set your pumpkin on plenty of newspaper

Your knife should be long enough to cut through the shell but not go through the other side of the pumpkin

Draw your face on with a pencil

Do you want round or triangle eyes?

If you keep the pieces you cut out, you can use a couple of bread ties and make your pumpkin look like he has floating eyeballs by cutting out and attaching round eyeballs with the wires from the bread ties on the inside of the pumpkin

Do you want eyebrows to give him character or make him look mean?

Do you want a circle mouth, making the pumpkin look afraid or jagged teeth to make him mean or square teeth and a big smile? – straw added to square teeth can make him look like he has braces

Draw a circle and carve your lid on an inward angle – so the lid will not fall inside the pumpkin

Turn the pumpkin on its side and remove the insides of the pumpkin.
My pumpkins insides go straight into the trash – but some people use them for pies, soups or toast the seeds

Scooping out the insides is not always an easy job – most of the insides - you can get out with your hands and then I suggest you use an ice cream scoop – scrape the inside of the lid also

Now, carve the face at an angle to make the holes on the inside of the pumpkin wider than the outside holes

Sprinkle carved pumpkin with ground cinnamon - to make it last longer and smell good

All Done – I hope you and others enjoy your pumpkins
