A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Where we live there are no trick or treaters. The houses are far off the road & far between. Kids today are like I was.. have one or two hours & want to hit as many houses as possible... so the neighborhoods in close together homes are chosen

Usually just the friends and families with kids come by. Not a lot, but some.

quite nice! I have saved quite a few glittery backgrounds..just dont use them much. I did have a great JH2 Table that I used once & I liked it..the next timeI tried to post it, would NOT format.
Also used some in one 4th July thread & I think one new years.
I need to use them more..they are neat

Ditto!
It is always fun to see my "stuff" that I personally made pop up here & there..
esp in emails from NON free Republic people..the graphics are found & used. My signature on it of course can be "erased" but most dont & so I can be sure it is mine & not just another similarly thinking/creating mind

Some Strange Halloween Quotes:
I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween… -- Unknown
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
William Shakespeare, Witches in Macbeth
On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me. - Rodney Dangerfield
When I was a kid, there were rules to the art of door-to-door extortion. Kids today don't even know that they're going about Halloween all wrong. - Robert Kirby
Proof of our society's decline is that Halloween has become a broad daylight event for many. - Robert Kirby

they are nice & I am sure you will find lots of fun ways to post they. You have already such a good feel for color, texture & good "mixes" as I call them.
If I have some time later I might play a bit..WELL, let me correct that..IF I TAKE TIME...I wont have it to spare!

You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:
10. You get winded from knocking on the door.
9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.
8. You ask for high fiber candy only.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.
6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask," and you're not wearing a mask.
5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick or ." and can't remember the rest.
4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.
3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.
2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.
And the number one reason Seniors
should not go Trick Or Treating...
*
*
*
1. You keep having to go home to pee.

How about a homemade Pumpkin Pie(s)
Here is the Recipe
1 round unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry (9-10-inch)
2 cups freshly cooked pumpkin, seeded, peeled, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated skim milk
1/2 cup skim milk
(To make your own freshly cooked pumpkin, quarter 1-2 small pie pumpkins, de-stem, seed and de-string them. Then steam them in a steamer over boiling water until very tender--the skin will peel right off. Then mash them using a stick blender or a food processor).
Preheat oven to 400°F and have ready a pie shield and a large rimmed cookie sheet.
Line a deep dish pie glass pie plate with the pie pastry rounds, fluting the edges decoratively as desired. Combine in order the pumpkin, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Lightly beat eggs together with both milks, then add to the pumpkin mixture, stirring well to combine--it will be rather thin.
Pour as much filling as you can into unbaked pie pastry and bake at 400°F for 50 minutes (or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out without any goo on it). If there is any extra filling use to fill a smaller mini pie plate or discard.
NOTE: Set cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are setting your pie plate on in order to catch any drips. I did not need to do this as I did not overfill the pastry cases and in fact got one large and one small pie out of the recipe.
If the pie edges start overbrowning, place a pie shield or a ring of foil over the edges--this will be needed or not depending on the type of pastry you use.

Thanks to all for all the great graphics...I think I need to try to sleep some more. I was up about 3 ish... had a "disturbing" dream & decided to post thread early.
Dreamed I was in a prison camp of sorts for about 5 or 6 years.. Many of the people I knew were very gaunt & sad. when I came back to the family/friends I could find, they told me my mom had died one week prior. I remember crying in the dream. I don't ever recall a dream where I experienced emotion. Ever.
I have a ton of stuff to post yet. The thread was a monster size wise. You know me.. Pack Rat carried over onto thread..but I eliminated all except pumpkins.. and then eliminated a lot of "pumpkin stuff"...recipes, poetry, humor...
will post some of it as I go

Thank you Eleanor for that recipe. I can tell you I am so very impressed that you do so much scratch cooking/baking. I know I can only speak for myself here, but BELIEVE can speak for many.... We don't do much scratch cooking ... packaged, mixes, pre made pie shells, cake mixes & of course the easiest ... buying the stuff already prepared.
Are most English women avid cooks/bakers? or are you an exception?
