Re: Halloween poll

  • Do you have any halloween traditions?

    Normally me and DH pass out candy together, drink, and watch scary movies. But this year he invited his parents over (MIL drives me batty) so I'm going out with a friend. We're going to play pool and then will come back to my house (once MIL and FIL leave) to drink more and watch movies.

    Do you carve pumpkins every year?

    Yes. These were our pumpkins last year. We haven't carved this years yet.

    Where do you get your pumpkins (store, pumpkin patch, grow them)?

    We go to the pumpkin patch. But I did grow some this year but they are pretty small so I will use the to cook with instead.

    Do you dress up?

    Yes, this year I'm going to be a ladybug, my friend is going to be a bumble bee. I'm making my costume. I'm pretty excited!

    If so what are you going to be?

    oops... see above.

    Favorite fall/halloween recipe?

    I make mac and chees every year. But I'm starting to dig the pumpkin recipes. I've never been a big fan but they are growing on me :)

  • Do you have any halloween traditions?  Nope.  We are sticks in the mud about Halloween.  I'm sure we'll get back into it once we have kids.

    Do you carve pumpkins every year?  Not anymore.  I remember carving pumpkins as a kid and Mom roasting the seeds to eat

    Where do you get your pumpkins (store, pumpkin patch, grow them)?  We would go to a pumpkin patch

    Do you dress up?  Nope.  But I remember my favorite costume as a kid was one my mom sewed for me.  I was a remote control.  I won Best Costume at a party that year!

    If so what are you going to be?  If I was going to dress up this year, DH and I would do some type of couples costume.  I love funny/politically-incorrect ones. 

    Favorite fall/halloween recipe?  Definitely apple bread or baked potato soup.  DH also loves Pioneer Woman's spinach soup!  So good!

    Do the creep.
  • Do you have any halloween traditions? Not reallyDo you carve pumpkins every year?  No.  I painted pumpkins with my nephews, but haven't carved them in a while.Where do you get your pumpkins (store, pumpkin patch, grow them)?  Pumpkin patch.  Going to a store seems like cheating.Do you dress up? noIf so what are you going to be?Favorite fall/halloween recipe?  Pumpkin roll with cream cheeseI GUESS I AM KIND OF LAME.  I AM OUT OF TOWN USUALLY ON HALLOWEEN SO I AM NOT AROUND.  ALSO OUR DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T DO TRICK AND TREATING SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT EITHER.   
    my read shelf:
    Robin's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • Do you have any halloween traditions?      Not especially.  It's our first holiday season in our new house, so we're beginning the traditions you know?  But I like to decorate the house and make either cupcakes, roll out cookies, or chocolate mousse with bat shaped cookies in them for dessert around this time.Do you carve pumpkins every year?       No.Where do you get your pumpkins (store, pumpkin patch, grow them)?     When we do go, we drive out to the coast with another couple and get our pumpkins at a proper patch :-) Do you dress up?     Indeedy!  If so what are you going to be?     A favorite year we were Pebbles and Bamm Bamm (I made those) and this year we're ketchup and mustard (had to sell out and buy those...but it's pretty cute.)       Favorite fall/halloween recipe?     Black bean chilli with butternut squash and yogurt.  It's pretty filling and delicious. 
  • Do you have any halloween traditions? We've always gone to hang out with friends.  We also always watch horror movies, classics, on Halloween and the nights leading up to it.Do you carve pumpkins every year? Yup!  Last year it was a Packer G, and it might be this year since it seemed to have brought us some good Super Bowl luck!Where do you get your pumpkins (store, pumpkin patch, grow them)? This year from a pumpkin patch!  It was so fun!  Usually from the store, though.Do you dress up? Always.  However, this year we have no plans and nobody to do anything with, so we will probably not dress up.  Sad.If so what are you going to be? Well, I'll tell you what we were in years past.  Last year, DH and I along with a couple of his friends, were "The Gang" from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  The year before that, we were zombies; I was "The Double-Tap" zombie (see Zombieland). Favorite fall/halloween recipe? I love maple butternut squash!
  • For the last three years we have been going to our friends band show. Does that count as a tradition?
    Yep, I love carving pumpkins:)
    Normally at a store. Once got it at a patch and they were almost double the price.
    Yep, we dress up, even though DH hates it, so each year it has to be something simple. Last year we were rockstars and DH even let me do a black liner on his eyes and black nails. This year we are skeletons :)
    Every year DH roasts the seeds from the pumpkins. I love chewing on them for weeks after halloween :)
