I forgot about caramels. Those were the first things I would eat when I would get a box of chocolates. My neighbor makes hard tack candy out of red hots and it is goooood!

October 21st: National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day, National Reptile Awareness Day, and Storm's 35th Wedding Anniversary Day

National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day! Pumpkin may be added to cheesecake recipes in various ways. For example, it may be swirled throughout, mixed thoroughly with all ingredients or layered. Cheesecakes can be prepared baked or unbaked and often served topped with fruit, fruit sauce, chocolate or whipped cream. An ancient form of cheesecake may have been a popular dish in ancient Greece. The earliest mention of cheesecake is by the Greek physician, Aegimus, who wrote a book on the art of making cheesecakes. James Kraft developed a form of pasteurized cream cheese in 1912. In 1928, Kraft acquired the Philadelphia trademark and marketed pasteurized Philadelphia Cream Cheese which is now the most commonly used cheese for this creamy dessert and many other recipes. There are several styles of cheesecake: Cheesecake Kludys, Chicago Style Cheesecake, Country-style cheesecake, Farmer cheese cheesecake, Lactose-free cheesecake, New York-style cheesecake(my favorite), Pennsylvania Dutch-style cheesecake, Philadelphia-style and Savory cheesecake. ​ 🐊🐢🐍🦎National Reptile Day! (These are some interest thing I found.) There are four orders of species of reptiles: the Crocodilia (crocodiles, alligators, etc.), the Tuatara (lizard-like), the Squamata, (includes lizards and snakes), and the Testudines (turtles, tortoises, and terrapins). The majority of all reptiles are considered ectothermic, meaning they rely on their environments to regulate their internal body temperature, reproductive health, immune system functioning, and daily stamina. One of the largest reptiles on record is the salt water crocodile, which can measure over twelve feet long and weigh more than a thousand pounds. All reptiles play an important function in their ecosystem; for example, lizards control insects and pests in homes and gardens, while snakes keep rodents under control in urban life and in the countryside. The way reptiles adapt to their environments allows them to create defensive behaviors in fights, to reproduce, hunt for their food, or anticipate a dangerous situation.

I prefer my cheesecake🧀🍰 and pumpkin🎃 pie separate, thank you. I think I'll leave the reptiles to themselves.

Sending cheesecake hugs!🐶🎃👻🐞💕🍂💕
