What I love about Halloween is the costumes and the dressing up. Who cares about the trick-or-treating anyway? I'm going to do the same thing -- start a new Halloween tradition that's all about family and fun and homemade foods. Who says we have to do trick-or-treating anyway? At least we have Thanksgiving to look forward to! Christine, I completely agree with you. What I love about Halloween is the costumes and the dressing up.

It's funny, we are trying so desparately to find some crappy chocolate that is "safe" for our kids and the neighbourhood kids to give out on Halloween. Well, whether it be melamine, salmonella, hydrogentated oils, HF corn syrup, preservatives, etc., it just doesn't exist, as far as the commercial stuff goes. And frankly, I am not going to spend a lot of money on something healthier that most kids don't recognize and won't eat, and certainly won't appreciate. Would you beleive that I had a young teenage girl come to my door trick-or-treating the other night smoking a cigarette???? The nerve!!! I am disgusted at all the trick-or-treaters who are barely dressed up at all, or who are over-aged, and many if not most of them have no manners at all. They just come to the house with their bags wide open, no "trick-or-treat, and certainly no "thank-you" to be said. Or the parents that come to your door collecting candy for their babies and small toddlers in strollers. Like, come on, who is that candy really for? I am actually thinking about giving up all together and just having a Halloween party with homeade treats in the future. This is certainly true.

I swear, no industrial food is safe anymore. OK I just looked it up — it’s only salmonella.

I don't know any details yet. When I woke up this morning and popped on the news, they said now there is a recall on Hershey’s chocolate (Canada). I don’t know any details yet.
