Welcome Halloween, Week 3 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

This is a disney classic that most probably don’t

even remember, I used to love watching this one as a

kid and come to think of it I don’t think any of my

kids have seen it, I think we will be watching it if

I can find it somewhere.


Your DIY craft is going to be a flaming pumpkin,

I would not make just yet. Carve your pumpkin when it

gets close to Halloween and then on Halloween night set it on fire.







Please be very careful when setting your pumpkin on flames,

you are messing with fire and of course with fire there

is a chance you could get hurt.


What you are going to need:

Pumpkin or Pumpkin(s) 15lbs or larger


Pumpkin carving kit


1 gallon empty metal paint can(s) with lid (s)


Toilet paper roll(s)


Kerosene


Nitrile cleaning gloves


BBQ lighter


Fire extinguisher (class B rating)


Now how to get started:

Gather together your rolls of TP, empty metal paint cans

and kerosene so that you can take them to an open air

environment where you won't be breathing in an excess

of harmful fumes. Then take your 1 gallon empty metal

paint cans and place on or 2 rolls of TP inside each of them.

Make sure that if you are going to place more than one

roll inside each paint can that they do not reach above

the rim because you are going to want to be able to

close the lids later on.


Next, check to make sure you are not around any open

flames or potential ignition sources, then carefully pour

kerosene into the TP rolls until they are completely wet.

Leave a small reservoir of kerosene in the bottom of the

paint can, the TP rolls will soak some of it up while they sit

and saturate. Any additional kerosene still left in the

bottom of the can after saturation may be used for

soaking subsequent rolls later on. It may also be poured

back into a safe kerosene storage container.

Once the TP rolls have been soaked, preferably outside

of your house and away from any open flames or potential

ignition sources, where you can leave your fuel to soak

for 24 hours or until you are ready to use.

Each soaked TP roll will last 45 minutes to an hour.


Next prepare your pumpkin, I'm sure everyone has carved

a pumpkin at least once so I am going to skip the how to.


Important step when ready to light up your pumpkin.

Pick a place that is at least 7-10' away from anything

that could catch fire. Next take a garden hose and

thoroughly wet a 5-7' diameter circle around the location

of where you are going to set your pumpkins a blaze.


Now that everything is prepared it's time to start the show!

Start by bringing the fire extinguisher, paint cans with

fuel, your nitrile gloves and BBQ lighter all over to where

you have placed your pumpkin(s).


Before removing any of the fuel from the paint cans,

put your gloves on. Remove your pumpkin(s) lids and set

them to the side. Then open the fuel canisters and place a

single set of fuel into each pumpkin while being careful not

to spill kerosene on yourself or your grass.


When you are done placing fuel into each pumpkin(s)

remove your gloves and hang to dry. Close the lid on each

paint can and return to where you were storing them.


Double check your grass make sure it is still saturated,

if you need to wet it down again. DO NOT light your pumpkin(s)

from the top as kerosene will start to flame up, instead take

your BBQ lighter and place it at the very bottom of whatever

design you have done. If you are doing more than one

pumpkin wait a few minutes between each one to make

sure everything is running smoothly. 


Now take a picture and a video because you are going

to want to capture this.


***There are videos on YouTube on how to do this if

you want to watch a video.***

 



Graveyard Pudding






I couldn't find any treats to make from the actual movie

but I found these and thought they would be cute and fun.


What you need:

1 package of oreo cookies

1 box of chocolate instant pudding

1 package of PEEPS tombstone

Wilton's candy bones and eyes

zip lock bags

parfait glasses

milk

gummy spider or worm candy

large candy eyes


Create:

Separate the oreo cookies and remove the filling.

Put the oreo cookies into a zip lock bag; seal the bag and

using a rolling pin crush the cookie into small pieces.


Following directions on the back of the box prepare the pudding.


Begin to build the parfait by putting a scoop of crumbled

oreo cookies on the bottom of the glass.


The second layer is a spoonful of chocolate pudding.


The third layer is more crumbled oreo cookies.


Top this off with the tombstone, bones and eyes.


Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.


While you are eating your snack watch Disney's

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and enjoy!

Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right!
