It's a Holiday!

And what holiday is it, you might ask?

Why, it's National Candy Corn Day! The only holiday dedicated to one of my favorite fall foods.

You may remember a few weeks ago, when I got challenged by one of Foreign Quang's readers, to put candy corn in my mouth to make it look like teeth on National Candy Corn Day. I accepted the challenge and received one other photo.

PLEASE DO NOT LET THESE PHOTOS RUIN YOUR APPRECIATION FOR ALL THINGS CANDY CORN

    Somewhere on the Internet this morning, I caught a picture of a guy with candy corn teeth. He flashed them for a couple of seconds and then ate them.

    Spooky pictures. Happy Candy Corn day.

  3. I do enjoy candy corn! Chocolate is my all time favorite, but there is something about candy corn that gets me every time! I need to get some :)

  4. Auntie M: Happy Candy Corn Day to you, too! I already ate the other two bags of candy corn that I bought in preparation for this day, so I'll have to go get another. :)

    Janice: Heh,heh,heh---we shall see if your suspicions are correct! You enjoy your weekend too!

    Hayden: We left ya speechless, huh? :)

    septembermom: I'm the same way. Chocolate is king, but once a year, candy corn rocks.

    The power of suggestion. Might have to buy a bag tomorrow.

  7. Auntie M: I asked Computer Geek to pick up a bag for me on his way home from work, but he said he couldn't find any at the store. I think he was lying.

    Maybe Computer Geek thought he was looking out for your best interests. But, no candy corn on Halloween. Shame.

  9. Auntie M: I am sure *I* will find some today.

  10. Biggest Halloween shock of all.
    We dont have Candy corn (well some does creep into a few shops, but...)
    And no one, read it ...no one eats Pumpkin Pie....

  11. Pen: You don't have candy corn? It sounds like the British have more sense than the Americans. :) Tonight at Walmart we actually found apple cider, creme brulee, and chocolate caramel flavors of candy corn. I settled on the apple cider. I ate a few pieces and made myself sick. That's interesting to know that no one there eats pumpkin pie. Have you ever had it?

  12. Randi. We dont have Walmart either!!
    Yes I have had lots of pumpkin pie.
    All made by myself, or my son.
    I had an American influenced growing up time. I wish we had an american store here. We miss so much.

  14. Pen: I just assumed Walmart was everywhere. It FEELS like they're everywhere anyway! There's a tradeoff though sometimes. We get fantastic prices, but sometimes low quality. The physical education teacher at our elementary school says she can always tell which kids get their shoes at Walmart. They start falling apart after the first few weeks of school. (My son's included.) I'm glad you have had pumpkin pie! I read on your site that you have trouble even finding canned pumpkin sometimes.

  15. When we lived in Africa, I baffled my housekeeper/nanny by making pumpkin pie. There, pumpkin is a vegetable, not a sweet.
    I made her try it and she liked it so much she made me teach her how to make it.

  16. Jill: Isn't it amazing how eating is such a cultural thing? Are there dishes you saw in Africa that were the norm, but that made you gag?

    My daughter's friend introduced me to pumpkin drink as a cold-morning warm up. She takes canned pumpkin and prepares it like one would prepare pumpkin pie, except she leaves out the eggs. She warms it on the stove and serves it hot in a mug, with whipped cream on top. It's soooo yummy and very filling---perfect for keeping kids full and warm on those snowy days.

You won't be paid for it, but at least you'll know that you have contributed intelligence to the universe...
