Spiders - Both Scary & Delicious

22 Days Until Halloween

 

 

today just happen to be one of those off days for me, but it was the quarter sized spider residing in my laundry room that did me in. No, he never got a bite out of me, but he just had that look of being something in the wrong location, heck maybe in the wrong state. I did my best to locate that quick fella, to no avail. So now I am equipped when I enter the laundry room - bug spray in hand. Now here is something to get your stomach rolling, my son told me a statistic the other night, as he knew it would creep me out big time, that a person - while sleeping - will eat 8 to 10 spiders in their life time. Well to quote Jimmy Fallon - ewe!.  So with all this spider talk, I decided that today would be spider day. I wanted to show you the ones that could take a bite out of you, and below that - the ones we can safely take a bite out of - Bon Appetit.  

It's hard to believe that we are cresting upon another weekend in October, before we know it, it will be Halloween. So it's time to kick this Halloween blog up a notch, starting next week it's time to get your skin crawling, you mind racing and your heart pumping. I'll give you the weekend to prepare yourselves for the newest in my fictional spooky stories that I hope will be a fear-tastic good time. But until then, enjoy some of my eight legged friends. If you have a creepy spider tale, please share it - I'd love to add it to the nest.

Blog you later - ha ha ha (Evil Witch Cackle).

Prepare batter for vanilla or chocolate cupcakes, pouring batter into 2 1/2 mini muffin tins with paper liners. Once they are baked and cooled, ice mini cupcakes with meringue buttercream and coat icing with black sanding sugar. Use cinnamon candy for eyes. For legs, attach 8 pieces of black licorice. For fangs, cut out tiny cone shapes from a marshmallow and attach.

 

If I have to choose - I'll take spider category number two - I'd rather enjoy them as delicious cake baked creatures.

Edible Halloween - Would you eat it????

28 Days Until Halloween

 

Well it was quite the shocker this morning to wake up and see that yesterday's blog had not posted until early this morning. But that won't stop me from posting my next Juicy Halloween item today. You're going to love this. I got the idea to go out and surf the Internet for Halloween Party ideas when I stumble onto some crazy things - Edible Halloween - though personally, some of the items I'd have to close my eyes before eating as the look is just a tad bit to convincing and my tasted buds would turn to the dark side and say, "Ah HELL NO!" Check it our for yourselves - below are some pictures I gathered together of food items made to look extra sinister and adds that twist of creepy to any Halloween celebration. I guess my question is now - Could you eat these things or most of them, or is it a bit to close to the squeamish side of life for you? Bon Appétit. (smile) For now - have a great Friday everyone or what ever day it is in your neck of the woods. Until next time - Blog ya later.
