trick or treat?

It seems that my generation didn't inherit a sweet tooth, we'd rather have veggies and dip.

I don't have as much of a sweet tooth as I used to. I'm with you, IRescue, I'd rather sit in front of tv with a bowl of baby carrots and ranch dip, although I do occasionally get a hankering for chocolate now and then.

Growing up, we'd go out (my older brother and myself) and bring back tons of candy. My father would allow us to eat as much as we could for, not sure how long a period of time, then it was getting thrown away. I would pig out. My brother on the otherhand, would stash his stuff and it would last forever (unless I found out where his hiding place was, then it was a free-for-all). Hey, at least big brothers are good for something, right??

I would eat a few pieces Halloween night, then find a calendar and figure how many days it was until Thanksgiving, and ration my stash to last until then. When I was in college, I lived with a single mom and her daughter, and the little girl DIDN'T LIKE Reeses Peanut Butter cups, which were always coveted at my house. She'd just hand them over to me, to my shock!
