theme dinner - halloween







well, my sis and i did it again. another theme dinner. it is a lot of work, but it entertains us old folks. one of her sons does not do anything for halloween, but the other one who lives in town takes his children out trick-or-treating. so we had a halloween themed dinner for the kids. we bought a hairy spider to hang from the light and made ghoulish food--bleary-eyed potatoes(potatoes with olive eyes and guacamole sauce and taco sauce, gruel (thick broccoli soup with half a boiled egg as an eye; it also had an olive pupil), mummy meatloaf (meatloaf with two slices of round motza cheese eyes with olive pupils and then wrapped in noodles), and carrot cake with a spider web on top.

sis bought lots of candy for trick-or-treaters. we lighted the tiki torches and put little battery tea lights inside paper sacks. but not many came. we should have read the paper first as they reported that nationwide, trick-or-treating is way down.

i had to take a picture of our very own halloween cat. he sleeps a lot and is not at all scary. he is the nicest of our 3 cats.
