You should have a great weather day in Orlando today.

We carved our pumpkins tonight. Tomorrow I’ll toast the seeds. But now it’s time for you to vote on which is your favorite.
1 is on the left and 2 is on the right.

I like number 1. It has character. You have the same dishes as we do, I see. Callaway pattern!

And you didn't send any to me???

Next time, although even though it snow still none of it stuck.

Yep Calloway, but some have broken so we mostly have a mishmash if that and some plain white and Star Wars plates.

I rather have Wisconsin's summers than what Florida has. Florida is nice to visit for theme parks, but the weather is a turn off for a year round state to live in with it being humid and hot.

The cold is part of the territory for Wisconsin.

As far as snow goes, the amount varies by region in Wisconsin and by year also. I know I get lake affect snow due to lake Michigan, the weather from that area does help out the temperatures out in the summer.

I hate the cold, so I will never live any farther north than Maryland. Actually, I can't leave Maryland for about five years due to a health problem that has some of the best treatment here, but that's another story. If it gets below 50 degrees, forget it. My asthmatic lungs don't want any of it. Plus I have really bad seasonal affective disorder, so being any further north and not seeing the sun...yeah, not my thing. I like Florida because the sunlight there is consistent throughout the year. And I don't mind the heat.

I somehow managed to break one of the 6 plates, but everything else is in tact. We also have the Christmas plates and a couple of serving plates. My aunt got them for us for our wedding.

I got honked at on the way to work this morning literally for stopping at a red light and I officially hate people.

Nope. No lectures. I have had to give up dairy, grapefruit, nuts, a bunch of other fruits, and cereal. I am not giving up my diet Mountain Dew.

No lectures just a loving mom voice saying check out the brand Zevia. I'm wondering if some of the carp in Mountain Dew is giving you problems. Can you drink chai?

I haven't had toasted pumpkin seeds since some in the 1980s when I was a kid. I had them in school.

As far as pumpkins go, I know one of the stores in Door County made Lion King theme pumpkins based on pictures I saw on their facebook page.

Toasted pumpkin seeds are on my rainy day cooking list today

@donaldtoo have a magical day!

 

[Figgy1]

I've never tried to make it. Looked up a few recipes and they all seem to call for regular white bread (but you'd have to buy the unsliced loaf). Cut it in thick slices (so that you fit in the bananas, etc.). Good luck and let us know how it comes out!

Look for Texas Toast thick sliced bread, that will make it easier and you can freeze what you don't use for next time.

I don't do Stevia. Anything plant based is usually worse in my case due to the fruit allergies.

I just don't do dark sodas (Mountain Dew is clear). And no, I'm not giving it up, lol.

Sorry you have all these allergies. Fruits are some of my favorite foods.

2 seems to have clearer cuts.

I'll give you that...it is well-executed, and very cute. The eyes are great, because I know how hard it is to cut a nice curve in a pumpkin....not something I'm good at.

So our choir director told us he's leaving. Didn't last very long. *sigh* I get it, and maybe our group is not a good fit for him, but I just really don't want to go through the process AGAIN, of trying to find a new director.

Apparently we don’t stop for them any more. My DD almost got her car wiped out in the back by someone running a red light Saturday. I think red lights are merely suggestions not rules for some drivers

Hello all. Work going mildly ok. Get paid tomorrow just in time for Halloween. Not doing much, just hanging out with Sarah, then babysitting her cousins with her.
