Mummy Calzone

Halloween is right around the corner. Whether you are hosting a Halloween party, or cooking up a fun Halloween dinner, you will love this Mummy Calzone that we created by taking a simple pizza recipe and transforming it a bit.

Over the years I have served my family many Halloween Dinners – from our fun Spider Taco Ring, to Spooky Witch Fingers, to Bones and Cheese Dip, Drinks and of course fun Halloween Dessert. Even if we don’t have a Halloween Party, and it’s only our family, it’s always a fun time.

The Mummy Calzone begins with our Bread Machine Pizza Dough Recipe. It’s quick and easy. (I really need to use my bread machine more.) And then filled with our favorite pizza toppings. You can certainly add whatever pizza toppings your family likes. Let me show you how we made “George” the Mummy Calzone…

Instructions

Pizza Dough

1. Layer in your bread machine as directed, mine is always liquids on bottom then flour, sugar, butter, salt and yeast at the top.
2. Put on dough cycle (mine is 1 hour 3 minutes) and let it go

Calzone

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
2. Remove pizza dough and roll out into a rectangle
3. Using a small spatula as your guide, cut the dough along the edge with a sharp knife
4. Wrap the mummy by folding over each edge of the dough
5. Transfer to large cookie sheet. Use 2 large spatulas to transfer if necessary.
6. Beat egg in a small bowl, brush onto calzone
7. Sprinkle with corn meal, optional
8. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown
9. While the calzone is setting for a few minutes, create the eyes by slicing the ends from 2 black olives and stuffing with a bit of mozzarella cheese

While the calzone is resting, you can prepare his eyes. Slice off both round ends of two black olives, stuff with shredded mozzarella into them and placed them on the mummy body for the eyes.

The Mummy Calzone turned out pretty large, so depending on your family size, you can cut the dough in half and only make 1, or make 2 smaller calzones.

Tarantulas tarantulas

Everybody loves tarantulas

If there's just fuzz where your hamster was

It's probably because of tarantulas

They're so soft and their so furry

And they're so cute if your visions blurry

all of mine got free but don't you worry

Though they're crawling up your wall in a big hurry

Tarantulas tarantulas

Everybody loves tarantulas

If there's just fuzz where your hamster was

It's probably because of tarantulas

Can you feel that itch on the top of your head

It could be one of them crawling instead

But it won't bite unless it senses fear

So just stay calm 'til it's gone in a year

Tarantulas tarantulas

Everybody loves tarantulas

If there's just fuzz where your hamster was

It's probably because of tarantulas

The most important things are foam, glue, and a bearded Dragon. After  that, scissors or a knife, paper, and pencils. I use carbon paper to  make stencils, but if you print out the picture of the wing, you could  just as easily use that as a stencil.

 

Bearded Dragon Wings!

Halloween Costume
👇📺👇

Halloween is fast approaching, so I wanted to make a costume for one of my reptiles. I figured Zsasz was the perfect candidate for this, as bearded dragons are known to be pretty laid back about.... well everything. I always see people selling these on Etsy and I finally decided to make my own. It was very cheap, fast, and easy to make, and I thought it turned out pretty cute.

**I watched Zsasz while trying everything on her to be sure she wasn’t stressed. She maintained her normal orange colors during the whole thing, and never once got stress lines, a black beard, or became aggitated. If you’re going to make these for your beardie, or any reptile, be sure to just watch and make sure you’re not stressing them out. Also, definitely don’t leave them on there for too long. :)

Go check out the original tutorial if you want an actual tutorial, and not just a sped of version of me making them:

Thank Indigenous American Cultures for 🥔🍅 🍫

If You Love  

Potatoes, Tomatoes or Chocolate

 Thank Indigenous American Cultures
Vanessa Romo - September 21, 2021

As the country celebrates all things Latino, we think it's time to show some culinary appreciation for some of the tastiest foods indigenous to Latin America but that over centuries have been victim to some bad PR, and are commonly associated with European countries.

🥔 🍠 🍅 🍫💝🥔 🍠 🍅 🍫💝

Chocolate...   Mmmm...

Ancient pottery discovered in present day Honduras indicates that pre-Colombian cultures dating back to as early as 1100 B.C. made a fermented, alcoholic beverage from the sweet pulp of the cacao fruit.

Television commercials and magazine ads make it seem that the Swiss and the Belgians must be somehow connected to the very origins of chocolate, but the caffeinated treat's history stretches back millennia to what is now southeastern Mexico.

In fact, Smithsonian Magazine reports that the very word stems from the Aztec "xocolatl," which referred to the bitter drink brewed from cacao trees that was often mixed with chilis, special herbs, honey and flowers. The liquid was beaten into a foam, and both inhaled and drunk as part of sacred rituals.

It's well documented that the drink has been around some 2000 years, but anthropologists from the University of Pennsylvania say they've found an even earlier use of cacao — the source of modern day chocolate — somewhere between 1400 and 1100 B.C.E. Ancient pottery discovered in present day Honduras indicates that cultures there made a fermented, alcoholic beverage from the sweet pulp of the cacao fruit.

"Legend has it that the Aztec king Montezuma welcomed the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes with a banquet that included drinking chocolate, having tragically mistaken him for a reincarnated deity instead of a conquering invader," according to Smithsonian.

It makes sense then that the cacao bean made its first appearance in Spain during the mid-1500s. A century later, sweetened chocolate had become a fashionable and expensive commodity across Europe.

 🥔 🍠 🍅 🍫💝🥔 🍠 🍅 🍫💝

Tomatoes...

Tomatoes were first exported from South America to Spain and other parts of Europe in the mid-1500s but they were initially grown as an ornamental plant and were regarded with suspicion because botanists recognized it as a relative of the poisonous belladonna and deadly nightshade.

 

What's Italian food without tomatoes?

And yet, like the other foods on this list so far, the thin-skinned fruit originated in the Andes Mountains of present day Peru and Ecuador, and is believed to have been domesticated in pre-Columbian Mexico, Britannica tells us.

Similarly, the Aztecs would argue that it's neither toe-may-toe nor toe-mah-toe but rather "tomatl," which the Spanish later translated as "tomate" as they began exporting the tasty round food to Europe during the mid-1500s.

Despite what the Spanish had seen first hand in the Americas, it took some time for Europeans to embrace the tomato as an actual food product. "In France and northern Europe the tomato was initially grown as an ornamental plant and was regarded with suspicion as a food because botanists recognized it as a relative of the poisonous belladonna and deadly

There is some evidence that the first exported tomatoes may have been not red but yellow. Researchers base this theory on the fact that Italians called the tomato "pomodoro," meaning "golden apple."

It was also referred to as "poison apple" in other parts of Europe, according to Smithsonian. That is because aristocrats, who were most likely to eat off of pewter plates, would become sick and die after eating tomatoes. But the truth was much more complicated. It turns out that the acidity of the tomatoes leeched lead from the pewter dinnerware and that resulted sometimes in fatal lead poisoning. (Poor people typically ate off of wooden plates so this wasn't as big a problem for them.)

Despite the land connection to South America, the tomato was introduced to North America from Europe.

"Thomas Jefferson is known to have raised them at Monticello in 1781," according to Britannica, which adds that it was first used in food in Louisiana as early as 1812.

Potatoes -  So many ways to enjoy

Different types of potatoes seed are seen displayed in "Parque de la Papa" or Potato Park, in Pisac, Peru. One hundred and fifty type of tubers from the Sacred Valley highlands are native to Peru.

While the humble and hearty potato is inextricably linked to Ireland in many people's minds, the tubers were first domesticated in present day Peru and Northern Bolivia nearly 8,000 years ago, according to the BBC.

The Inca and other indigenous people consumed potatoes in many of the same ways we do today. But they also commonly made something called chuño, which is made by repeatedly freezing potatoes in the cold Andes night air then thawing them the next day. People would squeeze all of the moisture out of them, which made them light, soft and juicy and added years to their shelf life.

The preservation process made them perfect for long expeditions and provided security against future bad harvests - both qualities that appealed to the Spanish upon their invasion in the region in 1532.

"The invaders took tubers (the underground parts of the plant we call potatoes) across the Atlantic, as they did with other crops such as tomatoes, avocados and corn, in what historians call the Great Columbian Exchange. For the first time in history, the potato ventured beyond the Americas," the BBC reports.

Since then, the BBC says, the potato has become the world's fourth-most important crop after rice, wheat and maize, and the first among non-grains.

A Brief History of Chocolate
Uncover the bittersweet story of this ancient treat and watch a video
Amanda Fiegl  - March 1, 2008

When most of us hear the word chocolate, we picture a bar, a box of bonbons, or a bunny. The verb that comes to mind is probably "eat," not "drink," and the most apt adjective would seem to be "sweet." But for about 90 percent of chocolate's long history, it was strictly a beverage, and sugar didn't have anything to do with it.
"I often call chocolate the best-known food that nobody knows anything about," said Alexandra Leaf, a self-described "chocolate educator" who runs a business called Chocolate Tours of New York City.

Etymologists trace the origin of the word "chocolate" to the Aztec word "xocoatl," which referred to a bitter drink brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, means "food of the gods."

1. Looks like Emma is applying Bruce’s mantra but to humans. 🦈 “Humans are friends not food!”
2. 🦈 It sometimes amazes me how the human race can turn almost any deadly animal into a dog with enough head pats and chin scratches.
3. 🦈 I was amazed by the memory of sharks, I just found out that they have a fairly sharp memory and are able to remember both ships and people. maybe sharks are marine animals that have the most feelings and sharp memories, but many people do not know this.
4. 🦈 This channel makes me smile more than anything lately. It’s like a balm against the relentless darkness of the news and stuff. I really never knew this about sharks. I wonder sometimes if we only ever used to tell good stories about the animals that we didn’t eat? 🤔
