How to Make Mummy Dogs

Finally, she dips a toothpick in mustard and dots each mummy dog with a pair of eyes on the exposed surface of the meat.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYFAINlHIpE

National Candy Corn Day

On National Candy Corn day, why not learn how to make your own candy corn at home? If you're too busy, that's understandable since Halloween is right around the corner, but why not get the kids involved in a fun candy corn activity? Try having a 'candy corn hunt.' This is a fun game for toddlers. You can do this by hiding 10 pieces of candy corn. When the child is getting close to a hidden piece you can say 'warmer' or 'colder' if they are too far away. Another way to celebrate National Candy Corn Day is by doing candy corn crafts. Try stringing together candy corn, the same way you would string popcorn. Use the candy corn strings to decorate for Halloween or use it to make a candy corn necklace. http://www.candy-corn.info/cc/Candy_Corn_Activity.asp

How To Microwave Pumpkin Seeds

Put your plate with the single layer of seeds in the microwave and cook on high for approximately eight minutes. Every two minutes, stir the seeds and rearrange in a single layer. After six minutes of cooking time, check and stir the seeds every minute. Once the seeds have a golden color, they are ready. Allow the seeds to cool, then enjoy. You can store the pumpkin seeds in an air-tight container for about one week.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmRcaFpjYnU

Pumpkin Cookies

The name "pumpkin" comes from the Greek word pepon, which translates to "large melon." Native Americans used to roast pumpkins and then eat them, and also dried them out to weave into mats. Although pumpkins are commonly used to make Jack-O-Lanterns in the United States, the first Jack-O-Lanterns were actually carved from potatoes and turnips in Scotland and Ireland.http://urbanext.illinois.edu/pumpkins/history.cfm

When choosing a pumpkin to take home, experts recommend picking one that has completely turned orange, as there is a chance that it will not ripen any further. Shape is a matter of personal tastes, and if the pumpkin is going to be used as a Jack-O-Lantern then the shape of the design may play a consideration in this decision.http://www.pumpkinnook.com/howto/pumpkinpickingtips.htm
