Put on your high-heeled sneakers &
come join in the fun...
Beth over at Food As Art is hosting her very first one!
Party, that is, with PUMPKINS galore!
Some on the doorsteps & some on the floor.
...what a chore!
The tables & chairs have been set with the theme.
All that is missing is hearing you scream!
Even some witches have dressed for the day...
With *Bling* in their noses &
balls in the way.
The colors keep changing in front of our eyes
Keep watching....Don't blink...or you may get surprised!
Creepy-crawlers abound & will make your skin shiver
Be grateful we're not serving ONIONS & LIVER!
The mummies are wrapped, all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums....
(oops, wrong holiday...)
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!
Now fly over to Beth's house...
Its gonna' be a hoot!
Rollo Pretzel Treats:
Spread out square pretzels in a single layer on cookie sheet.
Top each with an unwrapped Rollo caramel-chocolate candy.
Bake in 200° oven just until candy begins to soften.
Remove from oven & immediately top with either a nut
or another square pretzel.
Allow to cool.....if you can stand the wait!
My favorite way to eat pumpkin:
No Bake Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
(Kraft photo...I haven't made mine yet!)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. milk, divided
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
1 HONEY MAID Graham Pie Crust (6 oz.)
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
BEAT cream cheese, 1 Tbsp. milk and sugar in large bowl with whisk until blended.
Stir in half the COOL WHIP. Spread into crust.
WHISK remaining milk, pumpkin, pudding mixes and spices 2 min. (Mixture will be thick.)
Spread over cream cheese layer.
REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until set.
Top with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.
I am also joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday and Susan for Tablescape Thursday along with Michael Lee for Foodie Friday.

Rett: what a great post, your witch quilt is just too cute. I can tell lots of effort went into your post. I love your table and thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
ReplyDeleteRett, You have created the perfect poem and picture party! Your runner is so cute and I love that magic ball. Wherever did it come from? The carrot fingers are always a delight to see, as are the mummy dogs. The spider eggs are new, though. Are those olives? Still sending good thoughts....
ReplyDelete~ Sue

My favorite are your little spider deviled eggs. So cute!

ReplyDeleteRett, There's a lot to love in this post! From the food, to the table runner, to the witch quilt, to the witch's shoes, to the poetry, to the photos of pumpkins in front of the church - what a neat post! Your pie recipe is a keeper and I definitely will be trying it. Thanks for participating in the Pumpkin Party.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Love it all here, where to begin! First off, the witch boots are just so cute, as well as that colorful crystal ball. I also really love the runner you made and your wonderful tablescape! Then as if that wasn't enough to love, you have the most adorable food ever too, especially the spider eggs and even topped it all off with a fantastic poem! OMG! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAs for my blog, I just changed it out last night so I could change out my backgrounds with the seasons. I am now using the "Awesome Inc." designer template by blogger. I had to play with the width adjustments on the layout to get it not to overlap. What a pain! But I think I got it where I can want it for now! :))
Rett, when are you expecting me? I couldn't be there before noon tomorrow!! WAIT - make that NEXT Tuesday. LOL Everything is just adorable!!!! I remember all your tasty spooky treats you shared last Halloween - - - I know the kiddos are going to have such fun at Nana Wett's!! Love you, dear friend!!
ReplyDeleteYou flip me out! You seem to have everything awesome for every holiday, making it all seem so cool and unique! Your company must just love coming to your house! I am so jealous of the energy you must have to get this all arranged and perfect every time. Bravo, my friend!

Wonderful ideas! - please do come on over to our pumpkin party http://lenorita-lenoramoore.blogspot.com/2010/10/jack-o-lantern-halloween-tea-party.html Blessings

ReplyDeleteYour poetic pumpkin party post was so much fun to read. The spider devilled eggs would be a hoot to serve at a dinner party.
ReplyDeleteThe Kraft pumpkin pie looks like one I'll have to try too.
This is all simply amazing. Love all of it! YOU ARE A VERY GOOD POET!
ReplyDeleteAdorable ... love the carrot fingers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very fun post.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a great host.
And your rhyme, your rhyme,
just made it the best time!
The witches with bling
are really my thing,
Oh, the carrot, the carrot(s)
I could hardly bear it.
Eggs, topped with a fly
Oh, I thought I would die!
But the thing I loved most
was the start of the post.
The purple witch shoes
Oh, I can't help but ooze!
Loved it all,
Happy Halloween
Jacqueline
Those carrot fingers are just the cutest things that I have seen all week!!!

ReplyDeleteA feast for the eyes! I have been trying to decide what to take to my monthly Dominos group this Saturday night and I know now....carrot fingers! So cute! I might add spider rings to mine. Love the eggs also...will do those for Sunday lunch.
ReplyDeletewhat a FUN post!! I loved it and loved the fingers in the dip. May copy that idea if you don't mind. :) Happy Halloween
ReplyDeleteYour deviled eggs are so clever! In all my tine fiddling with Halloween appetizers, I have NEVER seen olive spiders in any of my app books! Bravo for creativity!!!
