Rockin Into Octobers To Do List

**cincygreg** · September 20th, 2011, 03:36 PM

And here we are again. The month where we trick, we treat and we ask those who prefer to do so to smell our feet. (maybe not so much with the feet smelling, but if that's your thing have at it and knock yourself out.)
Of course Halloween is one of the most major events of October so there will be plenty of that stuff on here as well as plenty of other solid options.
So lets get started with the Holidays
Oct 10th is Columbus Day
Oct 31st Is Halloween
October is....
Cookie Month (which should be every month in my opinion)
Pretzel Month
Popcorn Poppin Month
Chili Month (in cheese coney or way form of course)
Pork Moth (it's a swine of the times)
Pasta Month
Pickled Peppers Month
Vegetarian Month
Dessert Month

More Holidays Here

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.
Because being who we are, liking what we like and doing what we like to do IS in fact how we roll!
Party on people!
