  When you live in the country and your kids are all grown you don’t get trick-or-treaters.  That didn’t keep me from enjoying the spirit of the season.  I bought this turnip to test out thinking I might buy enough for the parents who come to Fun School.  I opted to buy miniature pumpkins for the kids to decorate instead of having knives and carving for the adults.  This was fun!  I hollowed out the turnip then carved a design on the outside.  As a bonus I cooked the turnip “meat” I scooped out and served it with dinner….it was good; kinndaI will do this again and recommend it for your adult Halloween party; less mess than pumpkins and so cute….don’t you think?

 Try this simple “recipe” for a fun Halloween project/treat.

This was a fun project, not really cooking but food related.  We did this sometime over the summer.  I was on a spider kick because there was a big garden spider spinning its web at our front gate.  We made these cracker, peanut butter, pretzel spiders and oak gall spiders another day.
