I like to watch Face Off, on Syfy. It’s a show about make up and special effects artists and they create crazy monsters, aliens, zombies, you name it.
One challenge they had last season was to make realistic looking blood. Chocolate syrup was one of the ingredients they had to work with! Makes sense that the blood from “Psycho” was made out of the choco syrup!

Wow – I had no idea there were so many days dedicated to food! Are these American holidays when you say ‘National ___ Day’? I guess that means other countries probably have lots of food celebration days that I had no idea about either.
Thanks for liking my posts, by the way. :-)
Hope you have a nice weekend!
