HALLOWEEN, BUT NO PLASTIC PUMPKINS, PLEASE....

like any other evening.....Halloween may have a couple of pumpkin candles....not in the windows......but, otherwise.....just like any other day.......watch out, pre-diabetic 5-year olds in polyester store-bought costumes......I've made white asparagus witch's fingers, dipped in thickened beet-blood.....the mini-snickers and sugary treat-bags are 'down the street' at that house with a giant plastic balloon ghost, hooked up to a vacuum cleaner.......over by the one covered with "sprayed on" spider webs.........get out of that tree, miss Havisham, and pull the shades down, there's a pack of little masked kindergarteners, leashed to Bo Peep, begging for high fructose treats......hide the Valrhona!
