an early halloween celebration

This is a long blog, but it is well worth the read if you love horror, food, drinks, friends and a good story. I was searching the Dish Network channel guide to see what suspenseful movies will be on for the remainder of September. Now that October is just around the corner after a very short summer, it is time to prepare for fall festivities and scary movies. I look forward to going apple picking and attending fall fairs, going to the Christmas Tree Shoppe to stock up on fall decor and, of course, curling up on cold weekend nights for some good horror movies! I started to think about how I can start the Halloween experience early, so I decided that I’m going to invite a few friends over this weekend for a fun night of horror! I’m not going crazy on creepy decorations just yet, but we’ll certainly light a few candles to set the ambiance. I was thinking of preparing a delicious dinner, followed by two horror movies then a little good night story for my friends before they leave for the evening. I should mention that my daughter is going to be at her grandmother’s house while this is happening! So far, I have found some great recipes from Food Network to share with you for the dinner and treats. Appetizers To add some Halloween color into the mix, I’m going to make this appetizer that includes a witch green color. Roasted Chile Guacamole with Baked Tortilla Chips Baked Tortilla Chips: • Cooking spray • 3 sun-dried tomato basil tortilla wraps • 3 garden spinach herb tortilla wraps • Olive oil • Salt and pepper Guacamole: • 1/2 cup frozen chopped onion, thawed • 2 cups frozen no-salt added petite peas, thawed • 1/3 cup water • 2 tablespoons lemon juice • 1 (1-ounce) packet guacamole seasoning mix • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes with no-salt added • 1 cup chopped avocado • 1 (7-ounce) can fire roasted diced green chiles For tortillas chips: Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. On a cutting board, stack 3 tortillas and using a sharp knife, cut into 8 wedges (like a pie). Repeat with remaining tortillas. Separate any that may stick together. Place on baking sheet, evenly spaced. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Remove and let cool. For Guacamole: In a medium saucepan combine onions, peas, water, lemon juice, guacamole seasoning, and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes until ingredients are soft. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour cooled pea mixture into a large bowl. Add avocado and mash with a fork or potato masher. Strain tomatoes and add to bowl with green chilies. Mix until blended. Serve with baked chips. Since my good little doobie will be at her grandmother’s house, I can also make a few drinks to accompany our appetizers! I’m thinking I’ll go with Emeril’s Tin Can Margaritas Ingredients: • 1 lime, cut in wedges • Coarse salt, for glasses • 1 large can frozen limeade • 1 full can good-quality tequila • 1/2 can triple-sec • 1/2 can lemon juice • Ice Directions: Rub rims of glasses with a lime wedge; place salt in a saucer and dip rims. In a pitcher combine remaining ingredients, stir well and fill up with ice. Serve in salt-rimmed glasses with lime wedges. And now…for the main course…Pumpkin-Peanut Curry Noodles with Five-Spice Seared Scallops and Shrimp, which only takes 20 minutes to cook (believe it or not)! Ingredients: • 1 pound spaghetti • Salt • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped • 2 inches ginger root, minced or grated • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter • 1/4 to 1/3 cup tamari dark soy sauce, eyeball it • 1 (15-ounce) can cooked pumpkin • 2 rounded tablespoonfuls mild or hot curry paste (recommended: Patak’s) found on international foods aisle • 3 tablespoons five-spice powder • 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined • 12 diver scallops, trimmed and patted dry • 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces, then thinly sliced lengthwise into matchsticks Directions: Heat a large pot of water for noodles. When water boils, salt it and add pasta to cook to al dente or with a bite to it. While pasta cooks, heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil. Add garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, and pepper flakes to the pan and cook together a couple of minutes, then add peanut butter and melt it. Whisk soy into peanut butter, then stir in pumpkin and curry paste. The sauce will be very thick. Turn down the heat to low. Add a ladle or 2 of pasta cooking water to thin sauce a bit and simmer over low heat. Adjust salt, to taste. Heat a small to medium skillet over high heat. Pour the five-spice powder onto a plate with some salt. Press both sides of the shrimp and scallops into the powder. Add 3 tablespoons of remaining oil to hot skillet. Place the shrimp in the pan and cook 1 minute, flip and sear the other side until just opaque. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside. Add another 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and heat back up to smoking. Add the scallops and sear on both sides until opaque. Remove scallops and add to the plate of shrimp. Drain pasta and return pasta to the pot. Add the curry-pumpkin sauce and toss thoroughly. Serve noodles on 4 plated and top with scallions and seafood. All I have to say is YUM! And now for dessert…Dirt Pudding! This literally takes 5 minutes! Have some pudding prepared from the night before, crack open a package of Oreos and crumble the cookies into the pudding. It’s delectable and easy. It is now time for the feature presentation: Movie number 1: Scream Intermission: Coffee with Baileys Irish Cream, Amaretto and Frangelico Movie number 2: From Dusk Till Dawn Good night story: This woman was doing laundry on a Saturday morning while her husband was at work. For some reason every time she pushes her clothes into the washing machine, she gets the feeling that someone is behind her, but she keeps going, admitting the thought is ridiculous. The basement never bothered her before. It isn’t musty as there’s a dehumidifier down there. It hasn’t been emptied for a while but the air is still dry. The cobwebs are always dusted and swept away as she is not fond of spiders, so the basement is fairly clean minus a few bags and it’s bright enough so there are no unlit corners. She hears her son rummaging through something in the living room upstairs, so she quickly goes back upstairs to be sure he is being safe. Her son decided to try out his new roller-skates while mom was downstairs. The lady reminded her son that he needs to wear a helmet and kneepads if he wants to roller-skate then he can join her in the basement while she washes clothes. There is more room to skate in the large space downstairs. The husband had just recently finished ripping the rug off the basement stairs so he can replace it and there are small nails sticking out of the front of a few of the stairs. The mom tells her son that she’ll carry him downstairs because he’s already wearing his skates and she doesn’t want him to get hurt on the nails. The son complies. Once the son’s helmet and kneepads are on, the mom sets him free to skate about the basement. Then she gets this horrible chill down her spine and a sick feeling in her stomach so she takes a minute to lean up against the table where she folds her clean clothes. She can’t figure out what the problem is, but her father is in the hospital so she decides to call her mom from the cell phone she has in her sweatshirt pocket to be sure everything is okay with him. Her mom said that everything is good and that her dad will be coming home the next day. Her dad fell and one of his toenails was caught on something and had been ripped off completely. He is a heavy man and any fall he takes is sure to cause some damage, but hooking his toenail on something made it even worse. “He’s fine”, she thought, “so what can this horrible feeling be?” Her son is skating as fast as he can while holding onto the basement wall. She covers her face with her hands trying to think of what the problem could be. All of a sudden her son catches one of his skates in the grate of the basement drain. His skate stays there and his body goes flying forward. He luckily landed on a trash bag that was full of clothes the mom put down there a week ago for the Salvation Army. She dashes to her son who is crying out of shock from falling with his new skates. She comforts him and walks over to retrieve his skate, still stuck in the grate of the drain. “These crazy plastic roller-skates. We’ll get you a new pair today, baby”. She looks back down at the skate and notices something hairy sticking out of the drain along with a foul odor. She calls her husband to come home from work on his break to check this out. She puts on a movie upstairs for her son who is ready for a nap. Her husband gets home shortly after and hurries with her to the basement to see what she was talking about. He grabs a crow bar that was stashed behind the dryer and pries open the drain, catching a bunch of hair along the way and flinging the object across the room once the grate breaks free. It thumps against the wall and falls behind the trash bags full of clothes. They notice that whatever it is, it’s bleeding because there is a splat of blood on the wall. “I wish I had my father check that drain when he was down here last weekend. You know how I like to keep that clean”. They tiptoe over to where the object had thumped to the ground and peeked behind the bags. They scream and jump back when they realize it’s a human head with skin that is falling off from spending so much time in the drain water. They panic and the husband takes a good look to make sure they didn’t miss anything else down there. He noticed her father’s pocketknife under the basement stairs with blood on it. He does not pick it up. As he examines the stairs for further evidence, he sees what he originally thought was a leftover piece of the carpet he had ripped up and notices that it’s a toenail. “Get upstairs and call the police!” The wife calls the police who eventually get there and investigate her basement. They observe the head and ask them what is in the bags that are on the floor. The lady tells them that they’re stuffed with clothes. They open the bag and notice body parts that have been hacked up and stuffed in quilts. They take the toenail as evidence. Goodie Bags to Take Home: Some fun trinkets from iParty along with some cool Halloween lollipops! Ingredients: • 6 or 8-inch wooden pop sticks • Gummy worms, as needed • 2 cups sugar • 2/3 cup corn syrup • 2/3 cup water • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1/4 teaspoon orange, lemon or cherry extract • Few drops orange food coloring Directions Lay a silicone sheet on a baking pan, place the sticks on the pan and place 3 pieces of gummy Worms above the tip of each stick to form a gummy worm triangle. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a clean, dry small saucepan. (It is best to use a heavy gauge pan and preferably with a pour spout.) Bring to a boil over high heat and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F or “hard crack” stage on a candy thermometer. Occasionally wash down the sides of the pan with a clean pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals that are clinging to the sides of the pan. When the mixture reaches 305 degrees F, remove the pan from heat and dip the bottom of the pan into an ice bath for a few seconds to stop the candy from cooking. Add the extracts and food coloring and stir very gently with a wooden spoon so the color is evenly distributed. Pour the syrup over the gummy worms and just over the stick. Cool the candy for at least 20 minutes. Lift the lollipops off the silicone and either serve immediately or wrap in an airtight container. Now, tell me I can’t plan an awesome night of fun with a few close friends! I was searching the Dish Network channel guide to see what suspenseful movies will be on for the remainder of December.

many people entertained through movies

Movies are a type of visual communication which use moving pictures and sound to tell stories or inform (help people to learn about new ideas). People in every part of the world watch movies as a type of entertainment; a way to have fun. Fun for some people can mean laughing, while for others it can mean crying, or feeling afraid. Most movies are made so that they can be shown on big screens at cinemas or movie theatres. After movies are shown on cinema screens for a period of time (ranging from a few weeks to several months), movies are shown on pay television or cable television, and sold or rented on DVD disks or videocassette tapes, so that people can watch the movies at home. Later, movies are shown on television stations.A genre is a word for a type of movie or a style of movie. Movies can be fictional (made up), or true, or a mix of the two. Although hundreds of movies are made every year, there are very few that do not follow a small number of set plots, or stories. Some movies mix together two or more genres. 1).Action movies have a lot of exciting effects like car chases and gun fights, involving stuntmen. They usually involve ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’, so war and crime are common subjects. Action films usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is normally simple. 2).Thrillers are usually about a mystery, strange event, or crime that needs to be solved. The audience is kept guessing until the final minutes, when there are usually ‘twists’ in the plot (surprises). 3).Western movies tell stories about cowboys living in the western United States in the 1800s. They are usually really Action movies, but with historical costume. They may or may not involve Indians 4).Horror films use fear to excite the audience. Music, lighting and sets (man-made places in film studios where the film is made) are all designed to add to the feeling. 5).Animated movies use childish images like talking pigs to tell a story. These films used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time, but are now made on computers. The first major animated film, still highly respected by audiences and the movie industry is Fantasia by Walt Disney, made in 1946. 6).Documentaries are movies that are (or claim to be) about real people and real events. They are nearly always serious and may involve strongly emotional subjects, for example cruelty. 7).Film is used for education and propaganda. When the purpose is primarily educational, a film is called an “educational film”. Examples are recordings of lectures and experiments, or more marginally, a film based on a classic novel..freecouponsbuzz.com I found one of the best sources to make people free from their work and relax them by entertaining them.

saints panthers preview

It’s been a week of pure joy inside the Falconer Saints helmet looking at the NFC South standings pinned to my white board. I’ve stood up close with nose pressed against paper and admired from afar from the Saints dens door. I’ve spun around at speed to check my eyes are not deceiving me (getting quite dizzy in the process) and I’ve charged head long through the house knocking over the innocent in order to recheck what is surely a trick of the mind but no, it is true, the New Orleans Saints are 7 and 0!! It’s a statement of fact that is worth savouring heading into the week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers. Only once previously have the Saints obtained such a perfect record and I tell ya that team did not have the total balance and weapons the 2009 Saints bring to the party. That said this week the Facloner is trepidatious at the prospect of the Panthers coming to town for one simple reason… we have not beaten Carolina at home since a young Tom Brady was filling in for Drew Bledsoe over at the Patriots of New England. Yes my friends 2001 is the white elephant in the room that dare not speak its name. Records are there to be broken Of course records are always there to be broken however I fear it is ours on the line for a couple of reasons: 1 - I was so consumed by the Falcons visit I somewhat overlooked the banana skin of a game in week 9 of our schedule, 2 - Teams will now be honing in on our record and looking to make a name for themselves as the team to knock us from our lofty perch. You can bet those pesky Panthers have been talking of nothing else all week in training. 3 - The Panthers possess a fine running game that could eat up the game clock if left unchecked. Now all things considered I should not be so fearful as we are playing the football of our lives and possess in Drew Brees the finest Quarterback in our teams history. However I just cannot get beyond all those losses at the Dome to the Panthers and the fact that they don’t always play that well and still come out with a win. So the key for me is to stop Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart early, contain Julius Peppers and jump out to an early lead. If the Panthers then need to rely on Jake Delhomme I fancy our chances to see out the game. Easier said than done I know but heck that’s as deep as I’m going this week. Beyond anything else Drew Brees needs to remain healthy for the rest of the season. He is the key that unlocks opposing defences and the prospect of loosing him, well it doesn’t even bear thinking about (see my gut Saints feelings are coming out, always looking at the glass half empty). OK so let’s enjoy our perfect record whilst we’ve got it and hope we march through the Panthers like we should. Just being a long suffering Saints fan like y’all I can’t help but feel this is too good to be true. In fact I’d better head back to the den to make sure those standings are for real one last time. Till game time have good Sundays. Peter is a passionate fan of the New Orleans Saints and writes about them on his Saints NFL blog. He believes that the Saints Panthers game is going to be a close one. Read the full Saints Panthers preview. His style is sometimes serious but often irreverent and fun.

the best way to watch tv shows full length online

A very big question is ‘Where can I watch TV shows full length online?’. Now that the Internet has become an important part of our lives so many folk are moving more and more towards utilising the Internet for everything in their lives. One key element of this big move has been the desire to get television channels through a computer or laptop screen. There are many Internet TV services out there which are free but unfortunately the vast majority are terrible due to low or almost no support. There are also many Net TV services out there which require a monthly subscription that are also terrible due to poor technical support or other reasons. Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a service online that was a one off fee and provided over 3500 channels in high definition (HD)? Well after far too many months of hunting I have certainly found ‘the one’ that allowed me to watch TV shows full length online as it were. I began my search to allow me to watch TV shows full length online via some simple Google searches. I found a few free websites which were average at best and the image quality was very poor meaning I could not watch TV shows full length online because there was a lot of interference. Shortly after I decided to try a few premium sites that allowed me to watch TV shows full length online. I managed to find one which was suitable but not enough channels and another one which was just overall a terrible service. I had nearly given up and gone back to traditional television but managed to find an amazing service. After a quick and simple installation of their software I was away! I was thinking ‘hmm nice that was easy!’ and just like that I had 3500 HD TV channels at my disposal. My search was finally over for a way to watch TV shows full length online without any trouble. The service is called Satellite Direct and you can find them here. They allow you to watch TV shows full length online in no time.

halong bay vietnam travel guide

Ha Long Bay was officially placed on the list of the World Natural Heritage twice, attracts visitors more and more. Ah…….almost a week in Vietnam and we have so far managed to avoid eating dog! That is some feat over here because dog is very popular on the menu in cafes. We have just got back from three days in beautiful Halong Bay where we lived on a big wooden boat with our own room and bathing facilities. The rooms on board the boat were amazingly even better than many of those in Hanoi city. The trip included kayaking through caves and untouched lagoons. We also visited floating fishing villages where many Vietnamese people live. The villages even had little floating schools for the local children to attend. The food on the boat was fantastic, especially considering the basic kitchen facilities the staff on board had to work with. We travelled with a number of awesome Australian families on the boat who had great children of all ages. The kids all loved Nikki and I as we made the trip fun for them by getting involved in karaoke in the evenings. One of the funniest things out in the bay was the local women in little wooden rowing boats who sold chocolate, crackers, cigarettes and alcohol. They somehow happened to be there, in the middle of bloody nowhere, when our boat stopped for a break. The women could be heard yelling out “buy Somsing (something)” whenever we stopped. Clearly they are aware of our consumer driven nature. Source: mytripjournal Recommendation for Ha Long Bay Junk: .indochinasails.com/
