This Betty Crocker Party Book dates from 1960 and dedicates 2 pages to Halloween recipes (kind of light if you ask me).
"When the neighborhood youngsters, all decked out as ghosts and goblins, come knocking at the door, have a tray of one or more of these easy-to-make goodies ready to pass."Sorry Betty, homemade goods won't cut it for Treats anymore. About ten years ago, my mom, while watching the door for me while I took my kids Trick or Treating, tried handing out homemade goodies for Halloween and the parents threw them out all over my lawn. It was just like that scene (at 29:02) from the Halloween episode of Freaks & Geeks.
freaks & geeks nailed so many things like that. such a heartbreaking scene. having bill dress up as jamie summers made up for it, though. he was so brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love the opener to this one. "I'll drink this much of anything for $10."
Deleteis that the one where they are mixing stuff up in the blender and daring each other to drink it? hilarious.

That's the episode. "And it has to be edible. Nothing from under the sink! I'm just trying to win a bet. I don't want to die."
