Halloween Dinner 2014

Here it is folks! This year's family Halloween feast. I don't know what is better. That this is a family tradition, that Mom's entire goal is to find something to gross out my husband (as bad as the bat wings a few years ago), that the baby ate everything we put in front of her tonight, or that the conversation at the table is terrifying if taken out of context.

"Will you pass me the brain please? This looks like a good one!"
"Are we allowed to eat the worms or are those more of a dessert?"
"Are worms vegetarian-approved?"
"More bones please!" (That came from the three year old who also asked for more brain...)

Why not have a little fun right? I post because I know you all are sad you didn't get to eat with us!

The feast

The main course this evening was a scary twist on a traditional meal. Spaghetti and meatballs with bone bread sticks on the side. Purple-black noodles gave an eerie snake-like feel to dinner tonight.

Brains and worms make excellent sides. The worms have been perfected this year with the addition of dirt.

We had to keep an eye on our goblets...

And dessert watched us from the other room.

We also treated our guest of honor to a repeat recipe of "Rotten Apple Worm Bars." I just got too excited about eating it and forgot to snap a picture first.

PS. My man ate it all. Mom is a little disappointed there were no gross outs this year...
