Quite possibly, this could be my shortest post. Nah, I think I will ramble a bit.

It’s the week before Halloween, that means I am going to be “spookifing” food.

Take the after-school snack of apples and peanut butter:

spooky, eh?

It’s sliced apples bound together with peanut butter and slivered almond “teeth”.

Oh [...]
