***HAPPY HALLOWEEN***

My party pics. Part 3. Day 30

Today's post is all about the food that I made and baked for my party. This is the menu that we had. Everything except for the jelly 'worms' - although I did make 'worm' rolls! *Ü* I am trying out the jelly worms today to see how they turn out as it is a US recipe and I need to get the measurements right.  

Guacomouldy...

Brain Mousse with Bat toasts...I didn't mix the gelatine in the room temperature ingredients, hence the gelatine cooled too quickly and didn't leave the markings of the mould. It worked last year and I have made another for tomorrow, so fingers crossed that it turns out well! *Ü*
                                   

Meathead platter...

'Worm' rolls...

Spiderweb pizza...

Witch's Fingers...

Ghastly Ghoulash...

Potato slices... time got the better of me with these. I wanted to use a cookie cutter to cut the middle and have positive and negative shaped potato slices.

Skeleton Ribs...

... Luna Moth Larvae!...

Braised Bat Wings...they do look burnt but it's the marinade that makes them blackened. They were soo delicious and moist...

Not Your Mummy's Meatloaf...with Monster Mash and Swampweed...

Death By Chocolate Graveyard Cake...

Deep Dish Pumpkin Meringue Pie...if you don't like pumpkin pie...this was so good...more like a spiced egg custard tart.

Cupcakes with green 'Fluff' (marshmallow) in the middle. I iced the tops with green icing and added a topper on each...

There was also I Scream with 'Ogre Snot'! *Ü*

I was surprised how everyone was so willing to eat what they saw and read! LOL.

The following day, we played games as there wasn't enough time to do it all in one evening - Pin the Wart on the Witch. I had bought us all glow sticks and we had fun making a light show.

That's it folks. I hope you have enjoyed the build up to Halloween. I have really had fun in finding recipes, ideas and helping you to prepare for your Halloween celebrations. Thank you to all of my followers who have kept up with me and for those of you who have left me a comment. I really appreciate your time and support. I will be doing it all again tomorrow as I have friends coming for lunch. *Ü*

Toots for now and have fun.  Ohh....I almost forgot...please say hello to our newest Boo Crew recruit! She joined us yesterday...just in time to share her treats with the little ghouls who will come knocking tomorrow evening! *Ü*

My party pics. Part 2. Day 29

So with all of the decorations in place, now the guests begin to arrive....first in is Lionel! Now you may not recognise the name and you certainly haven't met him before but he is an important part of the party ...for the atmosfear! *Ü*

***WARNING***

If you don't like Spiders and snakes...click off NOW!
Lionel is a 6 foot Python!

Arriving at the same time are the 2 Tarantulas...one of which I had last year...it has grown somewhat!...Ooo...what BIG eyes you have!

... and the other is a beautiful Greenbottle Blue - it has a brown body and blue/green legs. It was more nocturnal and I just got a glimpse of it when I got up early in the morning.

Boris is in the building... of course, my butler Boris is an important guest. *Ü* Only my youngest granddaughter was frightened of him - so I had to unplug him...but after 4 days...she became friends with him. *Ü* LOL...Eden plaited his hair as it was getting in the way of our drinks! *Ü*

Everyone dressed and makeup done, before they arrived...

My eldest daughter, son in law and grandchildren - Yasmin and Jared...

 My middle daughter, son in law and grandson Cameron...

 ...and my youngest daughter, son in law and Eden, Ethan and Ashley...aww...

My 3 daughters and their husbands...

 ...and all 6 of my grandchildren.

The photos that I tried to take in the garden were rubbish...but this was taken with a phone camera. The Boo Crew! ...and my character....*The Queen of Halloween*.

Aww...this one is so cute...Little Bat Girl

There are soo many more photos...I shall post more tomorrow and also photos of the food. *Ü*

Blogger doesn't like the size of my photos and it has taken over an hour to post these few! If you are partying, then have fun.

 

My party pics. Part 1. Day 28

I do believe I have covered everything that you may like, want or need for successful Halloween celebrations, so for the next few days, I will be posting photos of all the preparations for my party, including my makes and bakes, decorations and costumes. So sit back and enjoy. The answer to my question in an earlier post about the title of my character, will be revealed later.

First up...my party invitations...

Decorations around the house...in the 1st floor bathroom. *Ü*

 Another 'germ' lurking in the downstairs bathroom. *Ü*
