On Halloween the Grillin Fools are Handing out Pig Candy

No Snickers at my place this year.  Nope.  No Smarties, Sweet Tarts, Twix, Baby Ruth’s, or Butterfingers.  I’m not handing out any run of the mill candy.  I’m handing out pig candy.  If your kids are on a kosher diet, my house may not be the place to be on October 31st because the Grillin [...]
