You know,

as I get older I'm really realizing that life would be simpler if  I didn't put up, and and then have to take down, holiday decorations.   One of these days . . .

Halloween around

our house.

Waiting for trick or treaters.

Halloween Fun

Annie has been working on this

Halloween Party since we've come.  She did it for a Young Women project where she hosted the Activity Day girls.  It was actually somewhat of a whole family affair.

Omelet in

a bag.

We used to do these "omelets in a bag" quite often a few years ago, but I had totally forgotten about them.  Last night we were having our Halloween breakfast of french toast, pancakes, and buttermilk syrup.  I was thinking about what kind of eggs to make, and then I remembered these.  Since they sometimes come out in strange shapes, I thought they were just right for Halloween.

Omelets In A Bag

1.  Have each person write their name on a quart-size freezer bag with permanent marker.

2.  Crack 2 large or extra-large eggs into the bag (no more than 2). Shake to combine.

3.  Put out a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns,  

 4.  Each person adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag. Make sure to get the air out of the bag. and zip it up. Shake.

.

5.  Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.

6.  You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.   Open bags and omelet will roll out easily.

Then you are ready to sit down.

And when you bite into them, you will think

(like a black and white movie era actress):
