Borrowed (thanks Sheryl) WARNING do not read if offended by christian content

I found this funny and asked my friend to let me post it.

From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!!

A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'

The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin. Now it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins.

I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.

Inexpensive Halloween Costumes for You and Your Child

It's that time of year again when ghosts and goblins roam the streets. Halloween brings out the child in all of us so get into the spirit and collaborate with your child to wear a tag team costume set. Here are some ideas for Halloween costumes that are easy to execute:

Dumbledore and Harry Potter
Any child who knows and loves Harry Potter (which is the majority of children out there) will enjoy if his father dresses up as the all-knowing Dumbledore. You will need to don a robe, a beard, and a wig.

As Harry Potter, your child can wear a robe, cape, glasses, the wizard hat, and a fake scar on his forehead. Both of you should have wands for your Halloween costumes.

If you have a daughter who would prefer not to dress up as a boy then she can be Hermione. She could make her hair frizzy and wear preppy clothing like a private school uniform. Don't forget the robe.

The Skipper and Gilligan
Enter the world of Gilligan's Island by dressing up as the Skipper and Gilligan for your Halloween costumes. You can easily wear a blue shirt with a white collar, khaki pants, and a captain's hat. Your child will play the part of Gilligan by wearing a red shirt with a white collar and a sailor hat.

Dr. Evil and Mini Me
The cliched phrase, "The apple does not fall far from the tree" can apply to Halloween costumes as well. In Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and his Mini Me are an unbeatable tag team. If you want to keep your Halloween costumes as simple as possible then you and your child can just wear identical clothing.

If you're interested in mimicking the characters more closely then go to your local costume store or search online to find a more authentic ensemble.

Halloween's just around the corner. And while your kids are all set to have a blast, they will appreciate your effort and participation in making it a memorable day for them. Find tips to curve halloween pumpkin.

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Crust

RealAge Tip of the DAY for November 20, 2007

•Healthied-Up Pumpkin Pie Crust

That flaky, rich crust makes pumpkin pie one luscious treat. But it sure doesn't do your figure any favors.

What if you could have your pie and eat it, too, without the pastry guilt? You can! We've got a pumpkin pie crust recipe that cuts carbs, fat, and calories and still tastes delicious. (see below ↓)

EatingWell's Pumpkin Pie Crust
Often the crust is where all the saturated fat and calories are lurking in a pumpkin pie. (Learn how saturated fat affects blood sugar levels.) But not with this tender crust. Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons ice water

1. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. With your fingers, quickly rub butter into the dry ingredients until the pieces are smaller in size but still visible. Add sour cream and oil; toss with a fork to combine. Sprinkle water over the mixture and toss with a fork until evenly moist. Knead the dough in the bowl a few times -- the mixture will still be a little crumbly. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few more times, until the dough just holds together. Shape into a 5-inch disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Remove the dough from the refrigerator; let stand for 5 minutes to warm slightly. Roll between sheets of parchment or wax paper into a 13-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Peel off the remaining paper. Trim the crust with kitchen shears or a butter knife so it overhangs the edge of the pan evenly. Tuck the overhanging crust under, forming a double-thick edge. Flute the edge with your fingers.
3. Proceed with your favorite pumpkin pie recipe.

Sprinkles does it again: Pumpkin!

Well, today I went to Sprinkles.

Like I was telling labs, I was surprised to see they still had the Candy Apple flavor. I'm not surprised if it's in high demand.

But today, I went to get their Pumpkin flavor. Verdict? YUM! It was absolutely phenomenal. I am psychopathic about anything pumpkin flavored, and if it's done right, I can easily get addicted to it. Let's hope that doesn't happen. But it was good :)
