Halloween Party

{Post: 297/365}

it's almost time

to dress up

in costume

whether goofy,

frightening and creepy

or just plain cute

and have the 

best costume contest

at our annual party

and guess the number

of Halloween candies

gift pail

time to drink

listen to "Halloween" music

my fave always:

The Hall of the Mountain King

and eat disgustingly

creepy treats

like:

Bloody Bug Juice

Creepy Mummy Dogs

Roasted Alien Fingers

Caterpillar Kebobs

Puking Pumpkin Dip

Rat Cheese Spread

and

enjoying

laughter, food and fun

with our friends

I can't wait!

Halloween 2011

{Post: 319/365 Original Post: Burgers, Boys & BEER}
On Oct. 29th this year we had a Halloween party and it was a good time!
I tried a few new recipes and they seemed to be a hit!

Deviled Green Goblin Eggs

---

SIMPLE PIMPLES

1-2 dozen cherry tomatoes

flavored soft cream cheese spread

Core tomatoes with a carrot peeler or knife. Drain excess tomato juice. Using a butter knife, fill holes in tomatoes with cream cheese. Give each "pimple" a gentle squeeze and arrange on a platter.

---

BLOODY BUG JUICE
24 oz frozen strawberries, thawed
6 oz lemonade, frozen concentrate
1 quart ginger ale
1 cup raisins
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Place the strawberries in a bowl and mash with a fork. In a large pitcher, mix the strawberry mash, lemonade and ginger ale. Place handfuls of raisins and blueberries (bugs) into tall glasses. Pour the liquid over the bugs, then sit back and watch the bugs and scum rise to the top of each glass.
To quench a creepy crowd's thirst, double or triple this recipe and serve in a punch bowl. Drape some gummy worms over the rim of your bowl for a particularly swampy-looking effect!

Of course we had chips & dip and some of the other usual party snacks but we had a great time too! :)
