    A couple dozen donut holes.

    Don't know when was the last time I had a fresh donut. I only ate 6 out of the bag. Saved the rest for the wee ones to fight over. I like to occasionally surprise them - treat them - with a little junk food. They don't think about what foods they put into their bodies and that's the way it should be.


    So sweet (ugh!) and yet so tasty.

    More than a dozen Kisses.

    It's a tough situation with Halloween around the corner. This month I've shown amazing self-control around the candy brought into my home for the occasion. It could be because I've stocked stuff (Tootsie Rolls and Reese's) that are hardly faves. The packages haven't even been opened (pilfered) by anyone (er, only I know where they are ;p). In years past, I did not have the will power to keep from dipping into the stash of individual-sized Snickers bars or Hershey's chocolates (bars and Kisses).



    I'll just help myself to the chocolates the kiddies bring home from Halloween because they're bad for their little teeth. ;)     After Halloween, I may find myself  swooping in to pick up some clearance Kisses.

    Half a dozen apples.

    The other day I had put together the first apple pie for autumn 2009.



    I don't like waste which is why there's often a bunch of cutouts made with the left-over dough on the face of my pies. This guy weighed about 10 pounds and would be gone in one day, which caused much complainin'.

    Donut holes are very moreish. Fully agree with you about junk food, it's a good treat and too many children these days worry about the food they eat. A treat every now and then is good.

    the first apple pie of the autumn looks great!

    trick or treat is the day before halloween here cuz there's a big parade downtown every year. the kids come around tomorrow, but i held off getting candy till today. if it's in the house chances are slim to none i won't 'sample' it.

    haha!! when I was still a kid and we still had trick-or-treaters around the neighborhood, my mom did have to hide the candy b/c I'd always dig in... but that's not the case anymore... we don't have any more trick-or-treaters, so we don't even buy any candy... o.O

    hehehe, I have a mini donut maker that makes 6 at a time. I still need to find the recipe for the batter though. I'll do a experiment soon.  

    The cherry cardinal kisses are bomb in hot cocoa...*drools*

    I like chocolate donuts or the plain glazed ones.  I think Krispy Kreme had really great donuts however they went out of business here so we don't have them anymore in Vancouver :-(
    As for candies, I get tempted very easily if it's a mini Kit-Kat or Coffee Crisp, I also like Twix although they are sweet but I like chocos that have wafers in between :D  My work has a whole basket of candies out front, how tempting since Monday they had Kit-Kat.  I only ate one though.  And then yesterday was M&Ms and Snickers.
