Day 23 – Forensic Reconstructions
If you don't read Skull A Day, you should, but anyway, they featured a bit on Ironic Sans forensic reconstructions of famous cartoon skulls, such as everyone's favorite bad guy Skeletor:

Carmelly Apple Cocktail
This apple drink, originally from We Heart This, is less like a jolly rancher and more like a fresh picked apple
This a sweet drink, but the bourbon adds richness and the apple cider and ginger ale gives it a bite too. But for the lazy, the American Honey is great chilled on it’s own too. Bottoms up! [More]

Day 22 – An apple (or more) a day!
I have seen so many awesome apple ideas on the web recently - I just have to share! First are these OMG Black and Red Candy Apples from Mattbites - These are so beautiful it took my breath away when I first saw the photo - and hey - sucking the breath out of someone, that's pretty Halloween-y! Matt gives great instructions so you can wow the guests at your Halloween party!
Now for something completely different! These cute little guys would be the hit of any child's party!Adorable huh? I saw these over at Taste of Home - The photo seems pretty self-explanatory, but click on the link to get all the details!
Remember making these "shrunken head" apples as a kid? I'm going to make some with my nephew this year . . . I'm pretty sure he's going to love making something so macabre! They are pretty simple to make - it just takes some time, but watching them dry and shrivel up is half the fun! Over at Our Best Bites, they have wonderful instructions on how to make these!
Lastly, a shout out to Sandra - here's a vegan carmel apple recipe from 365 Halloween! I love this photo too - so gruesome looking!
Such great ideas, huh? And here, you thought apples were all healthy and stuff!

Last Minute Costumes
Do you have guests arrive at your party who think they're TOO COOL to dress up? You know the ones, so insecure! Well, I have the solution for you - keep a stash of these masks near the door so you can whip one out and and force your troublesome guest to get into the SPIRIT! Simply download, cut out (don't forget to punch out some eye holes - breathing holes are optional - make a couple small holes for a string to be knotted through, at VOILA - instant costume! I made a few from vintage images, and the really cool ones came from Ron and Joe - a super awesome stock images and custom illustrations site. Click on the pumpkin to download a pdf of ALL the masks. (Don't forget it may take a few minutes to load!)

Crockpot Pumpkin Spice Latte
Here is a delicious recipe for a chilly Halloween night - maybe you can make some to enjoy while you're handing out candy to the neighborhood goblins. I got the recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking - it's a great website and she's just come out with a new cookbook!
