Creepy Kooky and Spooky The Oct To Do List

[cincygreg]

And no, I'm not just talking about you know who. (or do you even know who you know who is or whom you know whom is or... nevermind. Moving on )
The big day in October is Halloween and of course it is celebrated all month long in various ways. Haunted Houses, mazes, family friendly stuff, cross dressing (which is not only more accepted in October, it's encouraged and applauded) costume contests, all kinds of good stuff. So lets get on with it, shall we?
First the Holidays

Oct 31st is Halloween

October is...
Poppin Popcorn Month
Cookie Month
Seafood Month
Chili Month (yes, that includes all forms even cheese coneys)
Vegetarian Awareness month (although I am actually aware that there are vegetarians every month)

OOPS, almost forgot something important. The flavor of the month (my bad) but I think we can get to figuring that one out now. Lets see, October. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!?!? Think think think... Well, it is the month of halloween and that means Pumpkins and of course pumpkin ice cream. But that would be too simple and that's just not how we roll in here (or is it . Nope, we need to dig a little deeper into this one. You know what's great about fall? Apples! Caramel or candy apples are a great tasty treat. (and, they are on a stick which is pretty much almost always a good thing ) And of course there is apple pie (ala mode or unmoded) and who can resist cinnamon apples. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH! Warm cinnamon apples on top of anything and everything,,, Ham, turkey, waffles, pancakes, french toast, even ice cream. Wait a minute! That's it! Caramel apples are topped with caramel (well, they are kinda dipped in it but work with me on this one) Moded pie is topped with mode (oops, I mean ice cream. moving on) So lets say october is the month for toppings! Of course that goes for any and all toppings and you can top your ice cream/frozen yogurt any way you like. Mix ins can work here as well as inside toppings such as chips and chunks. As always all chips, chunks, dips, dunks... (you know the rest) are in as well. Tough to top toppings as the choice for flavor of the month so why try. Lets top off this month with whatever topping we like.
