Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
Joe is one Happy Camper as he received $150 in Vouchers to the Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins Team Store as a Season Ticket Holder who continued to pay on his tickets and renewed his Season Ticket Holder committment after the 2019 Season was cancelled.....
I am sure he will have fun spending those vouchers.....
On Saturday, we took advantage of a Food Sale at one of the local churches in our area, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.....
They held a Pulled Pork Sandwich Food Sale.....
They were selling dinners which included a Sandwich, Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, Chips and a Brownie for $10.....
Since we do not like Baked Beans or Brownies, we opted for just sandwiches which were $5.50 each and were quite surprised when we were given all of this!!
We bought 6 sandwiches and were quite surprised that we also got a container of cole slaw and 2 different BBQ flavored containers of sauce for each sandwich!
They were loaded with meat which they smoked themselves right on the church grounds.....
We gave some to our son Jim and our DIL Danielle and froze a good part of it....
I also bought some zucchini from the Amish Farmer and I decided to make some more zucchini bread....
And froze some to have during the Holidays.....
Since Joe had Chili for Dinner on Sunday and Joey does not like it, I decided to make something that I saw on one of our local TV stations when covering the Bloomsburg State Fair which is the largest in the state of Pa.
They called it a "Mess"
I call it Heart Attack in a Bowl!!!!
You start with Tater Tots.....
Then you add Mac N Cheese on top......
I made Bob Evans Mac N Cheese.....
Then you top it with a meat......
I made some Steak Ums up with Marinara Sauce like I do for Cheese Steak Hoagies.....
You can use Chili, Whimpies ( Sloppy Joe's ), Pulled Chicken or Pulled Pork......
And then you finish it off with a cheese sauce.....
I used 2 packages of Velveeta Cheese Sauce .....
It was very good but very filling.....
Joey ate his dinner which is the bowl in the pictures as mine was half the portion and I could not finish it all....
One other thing I want to share is that I finally pulled the band aid off and went through all my clothes after realizing that I was moving Seasonal clothes in and out of closets and never wearing any of them!
If I did not wear it in 2-3 years, out it went!
3 bags and a box that I will be donating to either one of the Soup Kitchens or to Keystone Mission which helps homeless people with securing Employment.....
It was wonderfully freeing and I have a lot more room in 3 closets now!!
And I am sure that I will be getting rid of even more clothes because where do I really go?????
In my last post, I shared my Witch's Potion Table in my spooky Dining Room.....
And how I decorated the Dining Room Chandy a bit differently this year.....
Click HERE if you missed that post.....
Today, I will be sharing the rest of the Dining Room....
As I mentioned in my last post, I went with a bit more orange this year instead of just the black and white Halloween decorations that I had been using in my very Victorian looking Dining Room!
I also sort have divided up the Dining Rom in to different areas, displaying decorations with different Halloween themes....
I ended here with the Witch's Potion Table in my last post......
Between the Buffet and the Hutch is a small Curio.....
"Beware of the Giant Spider"
Another Haunted House on top of the Hutch.....
Now, we will take a look at the Fortune Teller area......
Is my Dining Room Halloween Tree.....
I will be sharing more of this Tree in my next post......
Next to the Tree.....
In the corner by the Kitchen.....
And my Funeral Basket.......
On top of the larger Curio......
Joe bought this tombstone at the damage sale of the Furniture Store that was demolished by a tornado that hit the shopping center by us 3 years ago.....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

You do spooky Halloween so well!! Love that typewriter...I think it's my favorite. Well, that and the hutch filled with all that red!! Fabulous!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteSammy the fortune teller is so fun! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteSo spooky!!! My grandchildren would be over the moon! And you are so creative! Love all the food pictures, too. We have a few churches that do dinners, but mostly it is BBQ Chicken, not my husband's favorite. One church a town away usually offers a rib option for an additional price and I was looking forward to going. This year they did not have the rib option. Our church does a BBQ chicken or ham slice, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and bacon, roll, butter and slice of homemade pie. We have always had carryout and dine in, but this year it was a drive thru which worked out pretty darn good, actually!
ReplyDeleteWhat great Halloween decorations!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I vist your blog I feel like I need to call my nephews to tell them all the festive stuff you've created this week. They could not get over the fact you had a special Halloween tree so the dining room would blow their minds completely he he. It's been so much fun to follow along with all your crafts and seasonal decor. I love it all! Hugs, CoCo
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier is totally my favorite. Everything is gorgeous, but that is just a spooky story personified! Grins, fun romp through your haunted house, Sandi
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween decorations look so fun! We don't really decorate for Halloween as we don't celebrate it here in Australia but it's fun to see the decorations of those in the US who do!
ReplyDeleteThe food fundraiser sounds like fun too, you got so much yummy food! :)
Hope you are having a great weekend :) We finally have a sunny day after some rainy ones so will make the most of it!
Away From The Blue
More luck for Joe. October 31 is our granddaughter's birthday, I've always called her my Little Pumpkin as she was born on Hallowe'en.
ReplyDeleteI applaud you going through your closet and making the cuts! I have been trying to do that for years and I'm always stuck with the thought "I will wear that someday." Of course I never do so as I'm changing out my closet from summer to winter this year, you've inspired me to finally bite the bullet and weed out the "someday" stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest Halloween decorations! I got rid of most of mine quite a few years ago but looking at yours, I'm missing them. I love what you did with your yard sale clock. Such a great idea. All your creative touches everywhere always makes it such fun to come for a visit. Thanks for all you do! Take care and have a wonderful week!
I love the way you used the Fortune Teller sign. I have one that I haven't used yet. Thanks for sharing on Traffic Jam Weekend & Happiness is Homemade at LifeasaLEOWife.com!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see your decor! I don't know how you continue to have the energy to decorate like you do. I find myself doing less and less each year. Especially this year! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThat IS a scary dining room! And a cute village. YOur bread spree reminds me that I have to clean out the freezer so I can start to bake ahead for the holidays. I always keep some pumpkin and apple bread in the freezer and it's alway a treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun filled post!!! It's like walking through a Halloween fun house and drooling over all the food. I could just taste each dish :)

So much to see, but the chandelier is my favorite! I can relate to getting rid of clothes, Debbie. When I retired, I donated, suits, dresses, dress pants, shoes, you name it. Now I live in jeans, t-shirts, sandals, sweaters and boots and I love it! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ's.
