yikes this guy (or gal?) is creepy! every year a neighbor of mine in farmingdale decorates his entire front lawn with all kinds of creepy life size halloween characters. you can see my past posts about this scary house here and here. today's post is dedicated to the letter M. if you'd like to see other representations of the letter M or if you'd like to add your own M representation please visit 'abc wednesday'.
Re: Pestle and mortar, the purist like my mum and aunties, will swear by it that like you say, Food taste better. The pounding extracts the oil.
I don't use them or a food processor. My husband is a cleaning freak. LOl He wants me to use something and dry it and pack everything away. Ideally, he likes nothing on the bench. So I revolted by giving my food processor away to my sister. I just use my chopper to smash the garlic. The rest, I chop.
Now I told you my secret, my husband never asked me where the food processor is.
That's a pretty scary looking monster! Your neighbor definitely gets into Halloween, doesn't he? Terrific post and photo for the M Day, Lily! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!
As you said "yikes", if i were there i wont look at them, as if they will materialize near my bed at night alive and ready to devour me! I dont like that! Maybe if i were you i will wear shades while they are still there. haha!
You have heard of LI & its many stereotypes? You wonder if they may be true but wish not to risk visiting in the event that they are. Be bold then & visit me daily & I promise I will show you many sides of Long Island that you will be both amazed & inspired by.

May be your neighbour is a fish in disguise.
I can't understand the Halloween thing, it is slowly catching up here in NEw Zealand, more for fun than tradition.

My husband's daughter would like your neighbor. She loves to decorate for Halloween. A pumpkin in the window is enough for me.

I admirer your neighbor's spirit and dedication to enliven Halloween.
It's the Swamp Monster! lol! I think a movie was made about this character.
Hope these monsters go away after Halloween is over.

That's The Creature from the Black Lagoon! I'd recognize him anywhere...movie scared me when I was little...
nice neighbour ;)
The image almost popped out of the screen. :)
Great shot.
And you wonder why we upstaters don't like to go down to The Island. ;-)
What a cool Monster. I don't decorate for Halloween as we get no trick-or-treaters but I love to see other peoples efforts.
Boil Boil Toil...
A frightful sight. Great choice for M

Oh, he has scales! I don't like scalely creatures. Shudder and shiver! :-D
oh I love it! or him! or her!!
I wish we had such things/opportunities for decor in the city. It's a shame.
Didn't you recognize me? Before I have my morning coffee?
It amazes «Louis» how many photos of his former father-in-law are popping up around the web these days...
LOL! ;-)

I find him a funny monster! :-)
Thank you so much for visiting my D-post for Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. I see that you have posted something for ABC-Wednesday-M!
Wonderful creepy monster! Love it.
I guess I am new to your blog. I used to visit relatives on Long Island when I was a child. So now I am following your blog.
I added another dog to my D-post. Please take another look whenever you have the time:
