I’m so sorry I was gone for a while, but I’m back for the holidays!

By the request of a viewer, I’m going to do a post about how to keep yourself from a holiday sugar hangover, and chocolate oranges. Stay tuned!

WARNING:Choose LEMON or LIME leaves. Most leaves are TOXIC!!!!!!!!

Yup, Halloween Hangover, when we start regretting we ate that “One last” candy bar, and when you find hair sparkle and fake blood on your pillow (and regret not taking a shower)

Well…

At least we get an extra hour of sleep!

As you may see, I’ve changed the top banner.

I’ll change it seasonally, and normally it will be it’s original “Gooey Chocolate” pic.

I was looking at WordPress’s “Freshly Pressed” and came across this (Copy and paste the link)

Here’s my opinion on the candy the dental team the wrote this suggested.

Wax Lips
The only exception (See ‘Best Halloween candy” here.)

Sugar Free Gum
Ummm, hello? This is HALLOWEEN. not “Let’s all be Healthy!” Day.

Sugar Free Candies
Some of the most disgusting things on Earth (Along with Wheat Thins, Apple Jacks and Price Right brand Cocoa Puffs)

Granola
It’s.Not.CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretzels
We’re looking for sweet, not salty.

Nuts
Leave it to the squirrels.

Seeds
Umm, are we birds?

Trail Mix
We’re Trick-Or-Treating. Not Hiking.

Cheese and Cracker Packs
It’s just gonna crumble in the bag.

6 Surefire Ways to Get Your House Pranked
(in no particular order)

Bad Treats
There is no surer way to get your house egged than giving out bad treats. i.e., Coupons, “Old Lady Mints” toothbrushes…

Canned Stuff
A branch off of ‘Bad Treats’, If you forget about Halloween, and hand out stuff from your cupboards, (Canned spam, Beefaroni) You’ll wake up to a white Day-After-Halloween. Or a really darn gooey, smelly, yolky one.

Advice
If you chime out “Look both ways before crossing the street!” you’ll be eating your words. Or at least seeing them strung all around your house.

No Candy
If you’re one of those grumpy old ladies who think Halloween is a silly old holiday, or someone whose been brought up to think that the joys of asking for candy is some kind of Satanic activity, (I don’t blame you) and just sit inside, watching TV, and ignore the kids who see the hopeful glimmer of a porch light on your steps, oh, boy, you’ll be scraping egg off the windows in the morning.

Chasing Off Teens
A very hazardous activity. Teens are some of the most toilet wrappingest, egg lobbingist people on the planet.

Giving out Candy to Kids, and Raisins to Teens
It can also be defined as “Giving candy to toddlers that can’t even chew real food yet, and Apples to kids who wanted the candy in the first place. Who would not hate their neighbor who gives a Snickers, or Rice Crispies, or Kit-Kat to your baby brother, and you get an apple?
Eggs away!

Bread and Chocolate Review
When I first stepped into Bread and chocolate, thoughts of me stuffing myself with high-fat and calorie desserts danced in my head. But then, the scene of the shop stopped me. The creamy,warm, mango-colored walls made the place have an aura of warmth, an oasis in a rainy, cold Connecticut October. The desserts on the side fridge next to the entrance payed my eyes on them. The service was wonderful;though the place was packed, the service was quick,and the cashier courteous. The mango smoothie I ordered was creamy and fruity, and tasted like the exact opposite of the powdered-re hydrated stuff at McDonalds. The hot chocolate I snagged a taste of from Jenny was hot and creamy, served in a ceramic cup. The soups were hot, and savory, and the Olive-Oil bread we took home was for only $3.00.
What a way to eat lunch.
