Halloween Treats (Page 1/4)
blackrams SEP 22, 08:55 PM
It's coming up real soon. I always enjoy sitting out with the wife and greeting the kids while passing out treats (while I steal candy) in the past but,
this year is different. We now live on the far end of a dead end street. I advised my wife to not bother buying all those treats this year. I don't expect a single kid to come by and I don't need it.

Well, she didn't listen and now after Halloween, someone is gonna have to eat all that candy. Everyone has their own favorite candy. I am particularly partial to candy corn. I most surely don't need it. I know that's not everyone favorite.

That brings me to the question. What's your favorite candy?

Same as Jack Ruby.



On the serious side, there are probably charities that would love to have that candy.

Yeah Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I used to get really into it as a kid. I grew up in New York, and i had a large wooded area with lots of trails behind my house. Me and my friends would make a "Haunted Woods" for all the other kids in the neighborhood. I would guide the kids and their parents down the main trail that cut straight through the woods to the next street, about a half a mile or so. Have about a dozen of my friends dressed up as different monsters roaming through the woods near the trail as we walked through. It would be night time so it would be dark, and the woods were very thick with trees, so it would be hard to see them, but you would hear them moving through the trees and making scary noises and stuff, and would occasionally run across the trail behind or in front of us, giving the kids (and often the parents) a good jump scare lol..

Was a lot of fun, miss those days. That was a great neighborhood to grow up in, tons of kids. After we were done with the haunted woods, we would head down to the end of my street too the fire station, and the fire fighters would have cider, doughnuts and cookies all laid out in the garage for the kids and pig out lol..

Don't really get any tricker treaters anymore where i live now. Haven't for years.

As for my favorite candy, that's hard to say, I like so many, lol. But i gotta go with Raydar, I love those Peanut Butter Cups, and they are even better cold..

I also really love Bottlecaps.. Been a favorite of mine since i was a kid. Plus I just bought 3 big boxes of them today, lol. CVS had them on sale 3 boxes for $3 (they are the big movie theater style boxes too), so I was like, hell yeah, gettin me some of those! lol.

Cinnamon hearts. I get a 6-month supply for $1/bag day after Valentines almost every year, then go through them in about 3 months.

And how many of you are borderline or full-blown diabetic?

I read a book called Sugar Blues when it was first published, way back in 1975. It was fascinating to learn how harmful refined sugar is, and how it's in almost everything!

William Dufty, interesting guy. He was married to Gloria Swanson and co-wrote "Lady Sings the Blues" with Billie Holiday.

The song, "Sugar Blues" is over 100 years old:



I love Chloe Feoranzo, my favorite living clarinet player.

Have never seen this "product" anywhere. So, I tried to find it on line. No Joy.

Found several recipes but no finished/bottled product. Although, I'm pretty sure it would not be something I would like, I have some friends I feel certainly would love it.

OK, finally found some: https://www.etsy.com/listin...imilar_listing_top-1 and https://i.etsystatic.com/80...N.450916462_d3ve.jpg
Will have some on hand just in case maryjane shows up in costume.
