I saw something interesting on late night Food Network the other night in regards to fruit salad preservation. I decided to look it up as the guy claimed vitamin c will make fruit last longer. I thought why not pumpkins? I read online “Use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crystalline ascorbic acid or 750 to 1,500 mg crushed vitamin C tablets per quart of fruit. Another is to drop the cut pieces in a solution of water and ascorbic acid, citric acid or lemon juice. Use 1 teaspoon (3,000 mg) ascorbic acid, 1 teaspoon citric acid or 3/4 cup lemon juice to 1 gallon water.”

Apparantly you can by Ascorbic Acid from a grocery store or somewhere like it. I thought I would try using some vitamin C and a spray bottle. Let the vitamin c dissolve, shake it and let it settle and spray my pumpkins with them. See how it goes. I don’t think I will try the lemon juice just because it will attract ants. Thought I would give everyone some information about this as I heard it on TV as a quick comment about preserving a fruit salad. If it works I will for sure post pictures for proof and what not.

I updated your On TV guide through thursday! The 13 nights of Halloween are coming to ABC family later next week and the On TV guide will be updated for that as well. Also be sure to check out Food Networks Halloween recipies of cakes, cookies and all things food for Halloween!

I just added a new CD to the media section courtesy of Dark Asylum who ran into me on Myspace. Incredible, wonderful, or I should say…Creepy, Horrifying and darkly perfect for your haunt! Dark Asylum was creepy enough to send me Mp3s of their cd The Terror Cycle to include on the site. Hope you enjoy! Lots more to come.

October is officially here and this week it’s all about my little Halloween website. During the month of August and September I am often left wondering “How will I decorate my yard and with what?” Finally deciding on the new prop for your yard isn’t an easy task, especially if it’s the largest prop. I will be taking photos as I go as well as posting directions, the new yard prop will be revealed soon. Hang on, I am working on the updates right now…check back in an hour! I will post what I update right here! //edit// I just posted two new recipes and two new decorating tips! I also updated my midnight cheesecloth images as well. More tomorrow!
