Favorite Fall Foods

I am a complete sucker for certain fall foods. Candy apples are one, along with caramel apples. Oh, sure, they’re carnival food, but when the apples are in season I get cravings of all sorts.

I’m also in love with candy corn. It’s so easy to just grab a handful on my way out the kitchen, in the kitchen, while I’m cooking…um, you get the idea. My poor unborn baby is probably shaking on a sugar high right now. And Halloween is coming, so of course we bought our candy early and we have to taste-test it to be sure it’s fit for trick-or-treaters.

I think I’m going to have it easy this Halloween. My son wants to be a green Power Ranger again and my daughter wants to be a princess. Since we already have both costumes, I’m fine with that. I could probably wear an orange shirt and look like a jack-o-lantern, but I’m not that tacky. Usually.

I should probably get around to buying some Halloween decorations. It’s always fun to see what the neighbors come up with, but I’m so bad about decorating. I haven’t an artistic bone in my body. On the bright side, the spiders have been happily spinning their webs along our front door entrance, so I’ll probably just leave them up there. You know, environmentally safe Halloween decorations. :rotf:

My favorite season for decorating, hands-down, is Christmas. It’s a lot of work, but I do enjoy seeing the wreaths and the garlands. The house always looks so nice during the holidays.

What about you? Do you decorate for the minor holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving? Or do you just do the major ones like Christmas?
