Halloween Treat Class was SPOOKTACULAR!

Well, the Halloween Treat Class was DEFINITELY a hit! I'm so thankful to my wonderful team, because without them it would have been a Whirling Vortex of HORROR!! heehee Julie and Kevin were awesome as always, and I especially want to thank my sous chef/daughter Lindsay "Lulu". She made the Brain Cookie dough and the BLOOD for it. I didn't have to prompt her or anything...she just knew what to do. It amazes me what culinary skills she has at the tender age of 12 1/2. Thanks, doll. So ya wanna know what we made? Cool! We made the "Brain Cookies with a Blood Glaze, Graveyard pudding with Whipped Cream Ghosts, Oreo Dirt and Gummy Worms, and Snake Bite Sandwiches." It was a lot of fun and the kids were really hilarious. While the brain cookies were in the oven, I decided to take all the squirts outside in the parking lot and play "Simon Says" in front of all of Greenville. (didn't want to have any "down time" waiting for cookies, you know.) Well, I must say that it wasn't just the kids and moms who found humor in it: it was also enjoyed by the folks driving and walking by, along with the trolley riders. Quite funny, a chef out there with the kids, doing the "Octopus" and making them run and jump in place to when the coveted title of Simon Says Master. Needless to say, I was a little "Pooped" when the class was over. I loved having all the kids there and I hope they had as much fun as we did. Hey, we have a Cookie Swap coming up next, followed by our Thanksgiving class. You neeeeeed to call the store NOW and make your reservations, 'cuz I promise you this will be fun fun fun fun!
As for the rest of my weekend? Well, my little Princess and my son, Skeet M.R. (Master Redneck) went to Pittsburgh to visit family and go to a Pitt Panthers game, Turner the Sub King went to visit the Beautiful Lisbeth Rooster Queen, and Lulu and I just went home after the class and watched our TIGERS Whup up on those 'Canes!! WWOOOHOOOOO! I'll calm down now. Anyway, everyone came home last night and now it's time to get a great week going from the very start. Every day is a new adventure; and opportunity to do something good. Make good use of it, and don't be afraid to try new things. You just might fall into something cool. Until next time, my friends: Cheers! Chef Mark "Chunkman" Pollard: Friend, Father, Chef, Nut, and Husband of a Beautiful Princess!
