Pumpkin Bisque : This was incredibly fast and simple to make. I love that the only "cooking" part was sauteing the butter and onions. I'm not a big fan of cold soups, so I did warm it up before serving. I also had the advantage of talking to Jennie and Martin first so I decreased the sugar by half. I really liked it. Jared thought it was okay, but not as a main dish. The kids weren't big fans. I think it has potential to become a seasonal repeat. Who knows, it may even grow on the rest of the family.
Spider Bread: This makes a TON of bread, especially when you accidentally thaw a 5th loaf. I was disappointed that our store only carried the white bread and not the wheat. It actually took a long time for me to even find any bread period. I was relieved when I finally found two bags at the bottom of one of the freezer sections. The spider was relatively easy to form, although trying to arrange it so it fit on the pan was a little harder. I tried to use toothpicks to prop the legs up at an angle. The dough was too heavy for the toothpicks which caused the legs to keep falling. I drew again on the experience of Jennie and Martin and used foil cylinders to prop up the legs. Bella was fascinated watching it grow through the oven window while it cooked. The girls arrived home from school shortly after it came out were impressed with the spider. They were all anxious for it to cool so they could test the spider eggs. The eggs turned out to be the favorite part. A really neat Halloween themed treat. It would be neat to serve at any Halloween party or potluck. You could even cut a hole out of the body and put a dip in there.
