we made jack o' lanterns! I've never done it before, it was fun! frustrating at first, because I'm a perfectionist and not particularly artistic (except with words and food), but I got the hang of it after a while (it helped that there were knives involved :-P).

When I toast 'em, I've done sugar and either ginger or cardamom. Grammy is stil lurking in the back of my head somewhere (:

the kid-thing has braces and she didn't have a problem as far as I could tell; she took two ziplock baggies home, in theory to share with her parents and sister, but who knows if she even told them about them? :-P
