Nightmare Before Christmas Pumpkins - Menards Halloween 2019: Jack, Sally and Oogie Boogie

Posted by on

Menards has seemingly gone BIG on Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas movie with Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie and even Zero items across their line.  From inflatables to stuffed plush, the licensing deal that they've struck with Disney appears to be their signature character line this Fall. 

In the photo above, you see three lighted pumpkins:  Sally, Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie all have a built-in LED light that lights up their interiors.  They're cute and I could see the Jack or Oogie Boogie one on the porch.  The Sally one is teal colored and I wonder if it might become part of the trend/used as an identifier of an allergy-free house that the whole movement that the 'Teal Pumpkin Project' has delivered in most neighborhoods.  Could be a nice shortcut for some folks?

Below is another look at a different set of these same Nightmare Before Christmas characters, but instead of 12" to 16" versions, these are tiny ones - like the size of a baseball.  Same character lineup with Sally, Jack and Oogie Boogie.    And they, too, light up:


But, there's tons more from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas at Menards. 

Here's a 72" tall hang-up, animated Jack Skellington for $27.99.  Here's a Jack inflatable - featuring him sitting on top of a headstone for $29.99.  And another inflatable (although pretty small at just 20.6") of Jack Skellington that is $24.99.  The best inflatable of the bunch is likely this tall Jack - coming in at 7' tall.  But, not cheap at $79.99. 

Sally, too, has an inflatable.  And here's the Zero "greeter" that I mentioned earlier in the post.  He also comes in a 'hanging' version. 

Halloween Creep is real and at Menards, you have to act quick.  Christmas stuff is coming right around the corner.  In 2018, I posted photos of Menards Christmas setup as part of the [Christmas Creep] section here on the blog in late September.  That means Jack Skellington and his crew have just a couple more weeks to hang around.

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Posted by on

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

Posted by on
Image
Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
