Halloween Bites!

There are lots of websites around that give ideas and inspiration for Halloween crafts, food, decoration, invitations to parties, costumes and games.

One of my favourite sites is Martha Stewart. There are hundreds of ideas to make Halloween a frightfully spOOktacular time.

I have been planning my menu and I want to start with a salmon mousse but it will be in the shape of a brain - with the use of a brain mould! I bought one from Marks & Spencer for £3.99 - including the jelly and gummy worms! (This isn't the one I bought but similar shape).

Hmm...when I think back to my childhood....I can remember my dad would buy 'brains' - of what, I never knew but he would cook them gently in the frying pan and we would eat them, spread on toast - and I enjoyed them!   Now my dad was born in Cairo, Egypt, brought up in Damascus and I would imagine that he would have eaten all sorts of  'exotic' foods. Funny, the things that bring back memories!! LOL.

For main course, we shall be having a Rack of Ribs! Also, Meatloaf in the shape of a hand.

For dessert, I will be making the Graveyard Cake that Heston Blumanthal made on his Gothic tv series.

However, if you don't have time to make a cake for Halloween, or not that creative, you could always buy one here but they are quite pricey - cool though. 

All for now peeps....got another list to make! Toots for now.
