After mass today family came over for the Sunday afternoon.
It is time for our Halloween fun. First we made a Halloween ring toss. I found a piece of plywood already cut so my son took it outside and spray painted. I got some glow-in-the-dark plastic knives at the Dollar Store, cut the skulls off the handle so they could stand up on the board.
We used a large glue gun and some toothpicks to brace them on the board.
We used a large embroidery hoop to toss over the knives.
Next it was time for lunch. I took a can of Grands biscuits and snipped them with kitchen scissors , baked as directed and they came out looking like pumpkins. We put a nut in the center so it would have a stem.
The we made Dump Chili. We call it that because you dump everything in . First saute one chopped onion and three chopped garlic cloves. Remove from the pot. Brown a pound of hamburger and drain. Add back the onion, garlic and a packet of original chili spices. Add two cans of tomatoes, red beans, black beans and pintos -don't drain any. Add salt and pepper. Let it all heat through. Serve with jalapeno slices, cheddar cheese and sour cream. I'd have a picture but everyone ate it all.
After lunch we made bean bags, filled with dried pintos for a bean bag toss.
We carved pumpkins and with that comes toasted pumpkin seeds.
My daughter-in-law and I made what we call Spicy Drunken Pirate Pepitas.
In a pan we put a teaspoon of bacon fat, mini bottle (the travel size 50ml) of rum - it all cooks off, a tablespoon of brown sugar and a large pinch of sea salt. Saute and stirred constantly for 15min.
Then put on a cookie sheet, salt again and sprinkle with chili powder, put in a heated oven at 275* for an hour.
The turn out crispy, sweet and salty.
And all while my sister finished up another lap quilt.
Time to clean up and a walk. Here's to a new week.
peace
