WALKING SIERRA MADRE: The Social Side by Deanne Davis 

“We’ve gotten through it once again,
The ghouliest, ghostiest time of year,
When creatures large, and creatures small,
Prowl the highways, infest the byways,
And give us plenty of reason, in this fear-filled season,
To quiver and shiver and shake in our shoes!” 

Yes, we’ve survived another one, friends and neighbors, another Halloween! This yearmade more exciting by adding rain to the mix. In spite of being soggy, a splendid timewas had by all and, judging from the number of candy wrappers still decorating the town,
our local dentists will soon be filling cavities by the score. Hope you got lots of Milk Duds,
Dots and Three Musketeers. I managed to give away almost all my candy and had somereally adorable little trick-or-treaters. Each Halloween I have such a vivid picture in mymind of my beloved John on his knees in our doorway asking little people who they were.
I don’t know if they trick or treat in heaven, but he had the best time talking to all the littlemonsters who came to our door. 

The scarecrows all around town were so creative and the winners were awesome. Mypersonal favorite, the picture today, is the Bear-ista in front of Emmi’s. Judging so manyunique creations was a job I would definitely not want to have. Thanks so much Creative 
Arts Group for all you do to make this annual event such a success. 

We’re now in the throes of Daylight Savings Time, or as John always called it, “DaylightShifting Time,” which is an unpleasant start to the new month. Yes, friends and neighbors,
November is here. 


Advice to Start Your November… 

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressiveand give you a nasty bite.
Instead, approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, andslowly enfold it in a careful embrace.
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with,
it is likely to turn on you. Therefore, you need to back off and return to bed! 

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, November 26th to be exact, and Christmas is just a month after that. You might take a fewminutes this week to drop in to the Creative Arts Group Arts building at 108 No. Baldwin. With the specter of Christmas ahead of us,
you might find a few absolutely perfect gifts…maybe even for people other than yourself! 

In case you were wondering, it’s perfectly OK to hang your Christmas lights while pumpkins are still sitting on your front porch.
Eggnog is in the stores and it’s such a delightful substance when you throw some in your blender with a lot of ice cubes, as muchrum or brandy you are in the mood for, blend it till the ice is mixed in, pour into a beautiful glass and top it with some freshly gratednutmeg. Very refreshing. Also relaxing. 

Speaking of Eggnog, I’ve been making Eggnog Muffins for breakfast and two batches of twelve vanished almost as soon as I set themdown. These are fast and easy to make and simply delicious. 

EGGNOG MUFFINS 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 cup muffin pan.

2 cups flour

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 TB baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp. grated nutmeg

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. 

¾ cup prepared eggnog

½ cup Kahlua, Rum, Brandy or Bailey’s liqueur (pick one, not all of them!)

5 TB butter melted 

1 egg beaten

Mix wet ingredients in a medium bowl till thoroughly blended. Add to dry ingredients and stir

together only until mixed. Mix as little as possible or your muffins will not be light and airy. Spoon into muffin cups, top

with a little grated nutmeg and bake about 20 minutes or until tester comes out clean. With coffee, these are simply as my

granddaughter, Jessie, puts it:

“Eggnog-alicious!” 

The weather is spectacular! Take yourself for a walk this week. Buy yourself some chrysanthemums. They are also spectacular thistime of year.
