Jerry and Ben's Halloween Contest

 Hiya Gang.

Little Fox, Navy and Cocoa Beanie here taking a break from hiking to work on our entry for Jerry and Ben's contest. 
Let's see what LF did last year....oh yeah the Candy Corn Cocktail.  It was disgusting.  Bleh.

2022 submission is missing (Sekrebeary issues of course).  

2021 was the costume "Twins"  and a healthy Halloween snack from Reindeer Coyote.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, this year we think we might have our most tasty treat yet - Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream (ok, ice cream is a stretch, it's a banana based "nice" cream, but this year the treat we made actually tastes good.  

Start off by getting quality ingredients.  Real maple syrup was key.  Cocoa said imitation vanilla extract would work.  I have learned that no one argues with Cocoa Beanie when it comes to cooking. 

 

Of course you need bananas.  We used 3 frozen bananas and 1 brown banana. 

You need to have pumpkin for pumpkin ice cream. Cocoa says canned will do.

Whirl it up in the food processor. 

Freeze and enjoy with your pals.  

Blog world wish us luck with our entry, we are going for the gold this year in the snack category.

Note to judges: Making a dessert is in no way trying to gain favor with Judge Jerry (however if it does gain favor then we'll take any advantage we can get).

Chanterelles are in season.

 Hiya Gang,

Navy and Cocoa here - Little Fox took us mushroom hunting today.  What a haul we got!!!!  

Two mice and a mountain

 Hiya Gang,
Cocoa and Navy here.  Little Fox is "resting" today after a long night of partying.  Us mice decided to go hiking ourselves.  A pretty amazing fall day on Mt. Hood. 

Water is flowing nicely in the waterfalls. 

Appreciate the sustainability feature of this sign, reusing the other side makes so much sense. 

Take it from here Navy.  
Ok Cocoa, found another waterfall along the trail.  Later on in the hike but maybe the same river?  Hopefully we can find a view of the mountain and a nice picnic spot. 

When the mention of food is involved Sequoia gets pretty serious about the hike. 

Great job team, found a nice spot with a view of the mountain. Some grass, a little sun and the roommates brought along cheese for us mice. 

It was hard to miss the mountain today - even from the ski lift areas it was out and in full show.
