Fried dough? Well it IS actually fried dough:) So that is probably the same thing. The Indians make the dough using baking powder but I always just make yeast bread dough for it. Here Indian Fry Bread is a big deal at the state fair and other similar events. Fried toast is not it but that sounds good too.

AMSubject: Re: Halloween here at Sharon's house

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..

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:)

Seems my life revolves around food.. LOL.. and that's why I weigh in

at as much as I do..

And they use yeast bread dough here too.. I've seen them "working"

the dough... quite similar to making buns, except it's flatish when

their finished working it out and they just lay it in the deep fryer

and let it go..

And it's always good to hear about how other people "feed" on

holidays.. I was in total shock when we got together with friends in

Connecticut for New Year's Eve.. They do seafood (they bay shrimp

and other stuff).. while we do the Pork & Sauerkraut thing.. I

thought them strange.. and they thought us strange.. LOL.. but we

had a GREAT time.. even with that strange New Year's Eve

Smorgasbord!
