Happy Halloween

This is a picture of the breakfast I made for Andy this morning. It is a Ghost. It was originally supposed to be a Jack-o-Lantern, but I had several problems in preparing it this morning. I went to the grocery store and they did not have Cool Whip, just whip cream in a can. Although this would have made coloring it more difficult, I was willing to try except the food coloring was REALLY expensive and I didn't think it was worth it. Besides, a Ghost captures the spirit of Halloween just as much as a Jack-o-Lantern. Then I was going to make waffles, but realized that our waffle iron is square shaped not round (we haven't used it in a while). This was still OK until I managed to burn the first waffle to the top and bottom of the iron. I then switched to pancakes. I also ruined one of those before turning out an acceptable one. I topped it with whip cream and chocolate covered strawberry halves (remember this was supposed to be a Jack-o-Lantern and I think it would have been a lot better if that original idea had worked out) and put it on a plate. Andy ate it, so I guess my breakfast turned out to be a success. Hopefully next year I will get it right.

well, good job. I think it looks very cute and you get kudos for doing that...I have noticed that food coloring has really gone up in price...i do not know why but it has.

Let me just say that I have the most creative and amazing wife. Not to mention that she is a great cook as well. I was very happy with the ghost, it tasted just like the ghosts I remember from, nevermind.
