Halloween here at Sharon's house

[Guest guest]

No holidays are celebrated in my community on Sundays here except Christmas and Easter so the grandkids went out trick-or-treating last night. The grandkids are all in a stupor today from their colored candy. Seriously in a stupor. That's because almost all of my grandkids have reactions to artificial food colors and most preservatives. But their parents make an exception on Halloween so the kids can be like all other children and have the colored Halloween candy. Tonight we are having our annual family Halloween party, complete with hay ride and s'mores around the campfire. I am make a pumpkin spice graveyard cake for the party. I hope it turns out like I want it to. My 14 year old granddaughter is in the kitchen making Halloween sugar cookies

and cupcakes. My daughter-in-law is making bread dough now to set to rise all day. We are having an assortment of snacky type food along with fry bread and beans for dinner. My daughter and her husband and 4 kids will join us late this afternoon. So today I will have all eight of my grandkids here! hugs to all of you on this very spooky day:) SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Kate... It was a wonderful time and I am exhausted today:) It sounds like you haven't ever had Indian Fry Bread. Right? It's just what it sounds like--fried bread dough. We like to put a smear of refried beans on it. Sometimes fry bread is made into "Indian Tacos" with refried beans, lettuce, tomato and salsa on top. Other times it is just served with a little butter and honey or just a sprinkle of sugar. love SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, Sharon. It sounds delish. Some of my kids like refried beans, some do not... do you make your own refried beans? What sort of beans do you use; black, kidney, small red?I like it the sweet way myself.Love, KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, November 1, 2010 3:14:10 PMSubject: Re: Halloween here at Sharon's house

Hi KateYes, I make my own beans. I cook pinto beans then mash them. Do you want to know the secret of excellent refried beans? You must fry them in lard, not oil or shortening. It's the only way to make authentic Mexican refried beans. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sharon,

When you said "fry bread".. I immediately thought of the stuff my

cousin's grandmother used to make when we'd visit on a Sunday

afternoon (as kids).. She always had homemade bread, but it works

with store bought'n too.. But she'd butter both sides of the bread,

pretty heavily, and then place them on a cast iron griddle on the

stove.. and grill both sides of the bread.. sort of like a grilled

cheese, without the cheese..

Up here though, what you call "fry bread" we call "fried dough"..

but it usually the dough put in a deep fryer.. when it comes out,

it's either dipped in powdered sugar or a mixture of cinnamon and

sugar is sprinkled generously on both sides... People actually make

their living for the year, traveling to different fairs and

carnivals with there little trailers..

But the one thing I loved very much as a kid was the local "grange"

fair would get those little vanilla and chocolate ice cream squares,

that came wrapped in like parchment paper or something.. but they

would toast waffles, take them out of the toaster and pop that ice

cream square between two waffles, and sprinkle them with powdered

sugar.. and make an ice cream sandwich.. they were great!! I've

tried to do them at home for the boys when they were growing up..

they were good, but nowhere near what I remembered from that

"fair"..

Halloween sounds great around your house.. I wish I could do for

Halloween, all the things I love to do.. For most people Christmas

is their favorite holiday.. I like it fine, but Halloween is the one

I'd go all out for.. I love all the spooky stuff!!! That is

something I definitely miss..

HUGS

Kate...

Nope Lard isn't bacon grease.. though it does come from a rendered

pig..  You can usually find Lard in the grocery store.. in the

cooler section somewhere.. Lard has to be kept refrigerated or it

turns rancid..

Lard is the secret that most baker's won't tell you about.. but Lard

was something used, in the good old days.. it's what made the bread

golden brown (well that and the pinch of sugar added) and the pie

crusts extra flaky.. and quite a few other things..

My mother used Lard in her pizza dough.. an people came from West

Virgina to her place in the mountains of PA to get her pizzas and

take them home with them.. they'd buy five or six and take them home

and freeze them.. The Lard along with a pinch or two of sugar would

turn her pizza crusts a nice golden brown..
