The month of October, in “Mama Lanette and Alyssa JoJo World”, is best known for HALLOWEEN!  Many hours were spent when Alyssa JoJo was a tot creating and assembling Halloween costumes.  No plastic masks for my JoJo, oh Hell no!!!  It was carefully handcrafted costumes that included a catch phrase or nothing! A trick or treating route was also essential…did we want Bit O’Honey or a full sized candy bar?   My personal fuzzy-feeling favorite was the year that Mama Lanette and Grandma Joy made a bumble bee costume for Alyssa JoJo, and completely out of the blue, rather than saying “TRICK OR TREAT”, she said, “BEEEE YOURSELF!”  Oh, how I giggled…  Sadly, once the childlike delight in trick-or-treating was over, the next step for Empty Nest Mama Lanette was adult-themed Halloween parties and especially gross goodies to bring into work celebrations.  Halloween is a holiday that is plain FUN!  There are no family commitments, no gifts to be purchased, no formal anything…just…plain…old…fun…young and old alike.  If you want to participate…please do!  If not, shut your damn porch light off and stop confusing the cute little kiddies, for crying out loud!  For this reason, Feeding the Freaks is dedicating the month of October to the glorious gooey snacks, putrid potlock dishes, and treacherous  treats that only the twisted minds of Mama Lanette and Alyssa JoJo would research and spend the time to share with you.  See how much time we just saved you for your Halloween party menu?  Tune in over the next couple weeks…our goal is to get that gag reflex going.  

On a side note:  For those of you who live in a city/town who celebrates a Zombie Pub Crawl, please send us comment or photos of any especially disgustingly delicious drinks or appetizer/food products you encounter.  We would love to see them!!  J
