It is that time of year again when the apples are so good and juicy. Here in Michigan they are in coming into their peak time and available everywhere.
For the last several years I have gone and purchased delicious Caramel Apples from our local candy maker. They are soooo big and delicious you have to cut them into quarters in order to eat them. They are covered with caramel, chocolate and lots of other goodies. They are so good, and so fattening. I get a sugar rush just thinking about them. They also cost around $7.50 each!

It is Pumpkin time once again. What most people seem to forget about the pumpkin is that it is not just a Jack-O-Lantern. A friend of mine never used canned pumpkin, she always quartered a fresh pumpkin and cooked it down until it was mushy.
I tried doing it her way with a slow cooker, and it was all right, but give me a can any day! Why go through all that work yourself, when someone else has done it for you. Anyway here is a great recipe for pumpkin other than pie.

Place seeds in shallow baking pans. Half cover the seeds with saltwater (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of water).
Place in a 200 degree oven and bake until all water has evaporated and seeds are crisp. Store in airtight container if they last that long!

Made from nothing more than a small, round seedless watermelon, this spooky cerebral creation is bound to turn heads.

1 small seedless watermelon |
1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire green rind, exposing the inner white rind.
2. Slice off the bottom of the melon to create a flat base that will keep it from rolling. With a toothpick, outline squiggly furrows that resemble the folded surface of a brain.
3. Finally, carve narrow channels along the tracings with a sharp paring knife (a parent’s job) to expose the pink fruit beneath the rind
