The boys celebrated Hallowe'en with a young friend visiting and a "Scary Dinner". On the menu was:
- Witch's Hat Sandwiches
- Pumpkin Cheese Pastries
- Egg Eyes
- Popcorn Brains
- Blood Tarts
- Witch biscuits
- Pumpkin Pie
- And Blood (to drink)
Costumes, worn for a while, included a ghost, a black cat, a bat and a spider's web. For most of the evening the boys were happy to play (and fight!) but later on we did all have fun apple-bobbing resulting in a lot of running face-paint. Plus it was only after I had a go, last, that I realised using warm water might have been a good idea!!
Mmmmm
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your food!
I made soup...Pumpkin soup!
That pumpkin really is malevolent-looking! Sounds like you all had a lovely evening. The food looks delicious and perfect for the occasion. The egg-eyes are a brilliant idea!!
ReplyDeleteegg eyes are a good idea. sounds like a good evening had
ReplyDeleteWe did have a good evening - and no trick or treaters out here in the middle of the French countryside. The boys loved the egg eyes too and blood tarts went in seconds!!
ReplyDeleteI made pumpkin soup but it was a bit bland, coming from such a large pumpkin. It needed rather a lot of cheese and ham to make it tasty.
I had tried to make the pumpkin friendly but I think it was the angle of the eyes that made him more evil looking.
