You Pumpkin Head!

There are so many sugar coated 'spooky' treats around at Halloween time. Yesterday Graham and I demolished a pack of SKULLS.

(Ingredients: Sugar, vegetable fat, whey powder, wheat powder, skimmed milk powder, emulsifier-lecithin [good old lecithin], flavourings, colours, artificial flavourings)

An interesting thing about the Family Favourite 'skulls' is that they use the same font as our business (and this blog) - Trebuchet. There you go.

Then there are the Pumpkin Heads.


I must admit, the packaging is the best part - these sweets MUST be repackaged as 'tiger paws', 'power balls', 'witches humbugs' depending on the impending occasion, as they're orange and black striped rather than actually having spooky pumpkin faces through them.

There must be a rock maker somewhere who makes pumpkin rock with faces that run through it. If not, I want a stewards' enquiry in to why not.

Slush machine arrived yesterday :-)
Still in its packaging (!!!) as my car broke down yesterday and I had to fork out over £100 to get it sorted, then get back to the office to pick up the machine, then get to the house to drop it off, then get to the in-laws' for dinner, then get back to the house to go to sleep to get to work in time.
Planning to try it out tonight - yay!

I think I'm going to start to use 'Pumpkin Head' as a derogatory term for would-be car-parkers who ignore the 'No car park enquiries please' sign.

Ugh. I need to make this blog better. Right now it is NOT 'sublyme.' Maybe I'll get inspiration when I've tried the margarita machine a few times.
