Halloween Fun

So, my house is clean enough to begin to organize it (I know, seems strange that one must clean in order to clean but that is how I work for some reason.) But I wanted to share the Halloween fun I had this year with my family.

We were too late getting to the pumpkin patch, so I opted to go with pineapples instead.

Pretty easy and they smell amazing if you use real tea lights.

My son asked to be a Tweelik Jedi, which actually looks like this:

So, using a pair of  green tights, a lot of flannel material, and electric tape, here is what my Tweelik Jedi looked like.

Yes, that is me as a black eyed pea. Just call me Fergie.

So, here are the pineapples with some electric backup Jack O'Lanterns on the front porch.

Here is the front porch...tough to see but I had lights in both windows.

And lights in my own bedroom window.

Had some slippage but overall, lots of compliments on the decor!

Buttermilk Ranch Cheeseball

Buttermilk Ranch Cheeseball "This is the quickest and easiest appetizer I know of. It takes only minutes to make and can be served almost immediately. You can keep the ingredients on hand for months. Serve with buttery crackers." Ingredients 1 tablespoon sour cream 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch ®) 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans Directions Mix the sour cream with ranch dressing mix in a bowl until smoothly combined. Add the cream cheese and Cheddar cheese to the bowl, and mix together with your hands until thoroughly blended. Chill the mixture for 5 minutes, then shape into a ball. Place the pecans into a shallow bowl, and roll all sides of the cheese ball in the pecans to coat. Serve immediately. Thanks to allrecipes.com

I am back...and RETIRED!

Well, since I am still the only one following this blog, I don't reckon this a very big deal. But, hopefully soon and since I now have some time on my hands...I plan on getting this blog going and maybe even thriving.
