Tomorrow is Halloween, so it only makes good sense to put up six links to online articles about poisoned Halloween candy and a myth-busting video from PBS.
There’s also the MBIP Coming Attractions as a nice little treat for all of you tricksters out there. Enjoy!

MBIP Coming Attractions
Monday: Last night I went out with friends to Oliver’s North Pizza & Pub and I’ll have photos from the evening and what we had for dinner.
Tuesday: I’m finishing up my Taste of New York Goldbelly box with a fried bologna and cheese bagel. It was so tasty! Since fried bologna is a Midwest thing and the bagel, from Ess-a-Bagel in New York, is an East Coast thing it was like mixing and then eating a merger of the two regions. Or something like that!
Wednesday: I’m not sure what I’m doing for this Wednesday’s post, I need to figure that out!
Thursday: I’m meeting Ken Zurski for lunch. He has a new book out and you can read all about it this week!
Friday: I’ll be having a sweet treat somewhere, but like Wednesday, I still need to figure this out!
Saturday: We’ll be taking a trip back in time for another, Meanwhile, Back In Peoria’s Past post.
