I am not a big Halloween person but I was at an outdoor mall in Folsom and saw these characters hanging around: I also went to Buffalo Bill's Brewery in my town of Hayward to check out the three pumpkins that they had on display that weigh between 800 to 1000 lbs and have a pint of dark pumpkin beer: Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween

Four leaf clover made from corks. I had made cork hearts for Valentine's Day for my little craft boutique. As I was pondering ideas for St Patrick's Day decor and crafts I noticed I could create a four leaf clover from 4 hearts . Well, then it was off to the races. Here is one of the hearts and you can see that I used 12 corks to create the heart. It's easy to use a hot glue gun to build the heart.I created 4 hearts to make the clover. Start from the bottom of the heart with one cork , glue the two corks above that to the first cork , then glue the third row of corks but center the middle cork and glue that first, then the two side pieces. These are easy just require a couple of extra seconds of thought. Just keep going and following the picture above. Create a total of 4 hearts . Hot glue the 4 hearts together in the center to form the Four Leaf Clover . I'm a big fan of driftwood and it's always laying around somewhere as part of the decor so it was easy enough for me to make a stem from the driftwood. You could make a stem from twigs, or even something from the faux floral department . Side view and showing that I used holiday napkins from the dollar store to decoupage to one side to create a little color and festivity. Make sure you let that dry well before attempting to cut around the corks to remove the excess napkin. A little Mod Podge and gold glitter to finish off the other side. Hot glue some twine to create a loop for hanging. Completa. Cheers, now you have a reason to save those corks.

We are having Homemade Apple Rolls for warm breakfast food in our home. I like to make them from scratch. As with yeast, for this Homemade Apple Roll, you will need to plan ahead but it's so worth it. The apple filling can be well prepared a day before and keep refrigerated. It is cooked using microwave but could be done on stove top by combining all the filling ingredients, let cook for 10 minutes with constant stirring. Leave to cool completely before use. Unlike regular rolls, these rolls are baked as a log then equally slice after baking. This dough works up beautifully, it is easy to do and they are so good. HOMEMADE APPLE ROLLS Yield : 10 rolls 2 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tablespoon instant yeast 3/4 cup warm milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 tsp salt Extra butter for brushing APPLE FILLING 3 medium apples grated 4-5 tablespoon brown sugar/white sugar or to taste 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon METHOD FOR FILLING Peel, core and grate the apples. Place apple and brown sugar in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on High for 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and microwave again on high for another 5 minutes. Mix in ground cinnamon. Remove and cool. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container. METHOD FOR ROLLS Place flour and yeast in a mixing bowl. Combine milk, sugar and salt in a separate bowl, stir well. Now add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, forms into soft dough using a mixer or by hand. Transfer dough onto floured surface and knead by hand until smooth for 10 minutes or 8 minutes using a mixer. Place dough into oiled and covered bowl, let rise until double for 1.5 hours. Punch dough down, roll out dough into rectangle about 10 x 12 in. Brush the dough with softened butter leaving 1 in bare edge along one long side. Spread apple filling evenly over the dough . Starting with long edge, roll up dough into a tight cylinder, pinch seams to seal. Place dough, seam side down in a loaf pan. Let sit for 45 minutes, towards the end of rising time, heat the oven @ 190 C. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown, transfer onto rack to cool. Using sharp knife, equally cut into 1 in thick slice to serve. Connect with me: FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOU TUBE / YOU TUBE / RSS / EMAIL / GOOGLE+ / TWITTER / PINTEREST
