. . . greasy grimy gopher guts! That was what was in my frying pan on Friday night.
(Well, actually -- shhh! -- it was noodles with bok choy, peanut butter and soy sauce). We also broke out the Zombie Eyeballs (deviled eggs), plus Salted Rat Brains . . .
. . . which look suspiciously like cauliflower, don't they? And new to our Halloween menu was Monkey Skulls. A huge hit!
Carving peppers and stuffing is a heck of a lot easier than carving pumpkins, fyi. The faces sag a bit after cooking, but I think that makes the dinner even more ghoulish, yes?. But if you freeze them for a week because your daughter happens to get suddenly married on the day you had first planned to eat them, then they take a VERY long time to defrost. Icy Monkey Skulls are not as tempting a delicacy as Hot Monkey Skulls.
Halloween dinner is still fun a week late. And when the kids see a menu of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts and Salted Rat Brains, and all they ask is "Where are the cockroaches?", then you know you've got a tradition on your hands.
p.s. We didn't make cockroaches this year. Maybe next year we'll bring them back.
