Nov 1 Pumpkin Muffins

If you carve your Jack o Lantern on Oct 30 or Halloween proper, you can eat it.
On Nov 1, cut Jack into four pieces and bake him at 350 until you can stick a fork in him. Then run him through the blender or mash with a potato masher or use a mixer. Freeze the puree by 1 and 2 cups in ziplocks.

The following Muffin Template is adapted from The Tightwad Gazette

***
To make muffins, combine dry ingredients, and then mix in wet ingredients until just combined; the batter should be lumpy. Grease muffin tin and fill cups two thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15-25 minutes.

33) Diary of the Dead. hand-held camera version of typical zombie movie. Bunch of college kids try to make it home in the midst of the Zombie Apocalypse. One seems to think he is invulnerable while he's filming. bleh. (p)

34) The Hills Have Eyes. (rewatch, basic cable cut edition) Family gets misdirected straight into the hands of cannibalistic radiation mutants. They kept most of the rape scene, the burning a live scene and most of the murders but deleted the scene where Stanford loses his fingers. Bizarre cutting. But less gruesome than I remembered or I'm just more inured after the slew of horror. (p)
