Slice the bread. On a baking sheet, arrange the slices in a single layer. Brown both sides of the bread slightly in the oven. Remove the slices from the oven. Spread the tomato mixture on the slices. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is hot but not cooked.

With a small bit of research on your internet, I've found an alternative to our pumpkin juice is a mixture of 1 part apple juice to 2 parts pineapple juice, with or without a dab or two of coloring is quite close...

I am also very fond of your gummy worms. Mmmm, chewy. Harry still prefers the Mars bars here, but you do have some brilliant confections there. We've better chocolate, but you do make some very nice sweet stuff. Except the gummy spiders. Those still scare me.

Cool variation on Ants on a Log. We've got one of those Pampered Chef Apple Corer/Slicers. It turns it into a big spiral. I bet you could do this and open a few layers up and jam in a little bit of peanut butter and raisins. "Bugs in an Apple".

Ooo I was going to say ants on a log.

There's something about a forest, something with cauliflower, broccli, mushrooms and ranch dressing.

Just look for posts started by TheOtherVillianess. She tends to have her threads hijacked. I hijacked one with household hints. I think this is the second food related hijack.
