what are you giving out for Halloween?

Thank you, Otter

GB made my avatar for me - he's offering to help anyone who needs it.


DS - honestly, you've never heard of Alton Brown?

 

[Otter]

jkath, I only spent a few weeks in socal (too warm for me) before heading for norcal (have moved home to MN since). I really loved the Laguna Beach area. Wouldn't kick La Jolla out of bed either!

 

[-DEADLY SUSHI-]

Nope..... not kidding.

I agree completely - it is way too warm!!!
I grew up in Santa Barbara, where it's 72 year round...only problem is that I'm not a beach person. Now that I'm in LA county, we're in a tiny spot that actually gets near freezing in the winter. It's just the 108 degree summers I'd rather do without!
I bet MN is amazing!!!

DS, Alton Brown is on The Food Network (6 pm central time here). He approaches cooking from a scientific standpoint, and was recently selected as "Cooking Educator of the Year." I pull a lot of legs on this site (as I did when I was in college), but this is the straight skinny, and I think you might enjoy the show. Would somebody (more than one please, preferably) please verify to DS that this is for real?

 

[Otter]

dkath, yes MN is amazing - amazingly cold in the winter - BRRRR!!! I 'm a small town MN kid who got tired of the congestion in CA. Sold in CA for a small fortune and am living on a lake in northern MN for a fraction of the price. If I had any complaints, nobody would listen.

Alton Brown is quite interesting to watch, however, I never seem to catch him that often. For some reason, he reminds me of Ted on Queer Eye (only for their food talk, really)

 

[Audeo]

Yes, DS. Otter's telling the truth. AB is for real. The show is Good Eats and pretty interesting. Lots of slapstick along with the science. I've learned a lot from him....

 

[Otter]

Your're a looker too, Audeo!. Yeeooww! Between you and the other gals on here, I may have to go on heart medication! DS, check out Alton Brown (Good Eats) - it really is an intersting show!

 

[Audeo]

Otter! Thank you from the very bottom of my 44-year-old heart! (Where's your picture, pal??? Where is it...where is it....???)

Getting back to subject (I think), for the youngsters who come by that I don't know, they will receive packages of cool stickers, magnetic bearded guy thingies, or mini cans of silly string. For the youngsters I DO know, they'll come inside (as always) for a glass of warm, spiced apple cider and pick up packets of homemade chocolate-chunk cookies, along with a can of silly string that includes instructions on how best to "get" Mom and Dad! :twisted: Our neighborhood goes all out for Halloween...and I cannot wait to employ Buckytom's shaving can implement of war!!! (Trial run went GREAT -- Thanks, Bucky!)

By the way, where's Bucky???

verifying here. we watch Alton probably more than anyone. He's a goof with a good sense of humor.

I used to live in Newport Beach and would go to Laguna to eat at Victor Hugos and Tortilla Flats (also location on Balboa Island).
