Fit to Burst

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I would like to sit atop a mound of frosted sugar cookies (the kind only made at Christmastime in the Strand household) and eat my way to the bottom. Throw in some peanut butter bon bons and my life would be complete.

It is Halloween day, but luckily I am in Korea so I don't have to smell all those Halloween smells that accompany plastic costumes and face paint. I have argued before that Easter is the better holiday for candy, but I give you this as my second food related argument.
It appears to be some sort of Halloween bread, possibly a pastry, but it looks like something the Pillsbury Doughboy pooped out. The glossy sheen is what puts me off the most I think. I suppose it's unfair because, really, what can stand up to an Easter ham? Ain't no party like an Easter ham party!

  1. Halloween at our house came and went without a trick-or-treater, frosted sugar cookie, or peanut butter bon bon.
    Our Halloween bread was rice bread, minus the gloss and olive eyeballs. :)

  2. Wait, hold on, your evidence against Halloween is that there's better candy at Easter, which is not really true, unless you enjoy the foam-peanut-covered-in-glitter taste of Peeps (TM), and a picture of some dough that is tangentially related to Halloween at best? Weak sauce. Plus, you clearly need to be introduced to the traditional carving of the Halloween ham. It's like pumpkin carving, but with more blood!
