Penthesilea:
Can't you just go the easy way with the scary food? Cook some regular casserole food, then put saran wrap over the casserole and on top you put the biggest, ugliest plastic spider (or zombie hand, or....) you can find in a store. That way it looks nice and scary as long as the buffet is not opened. Once the food is available, nobody cares anyway :laugh:

That's a good idea. Better than cutting kalamata olives into tiny little spiders' legs, for sure!

that's what my friend and I did to her sisters cake for the Halloween party.
She made a spice cake, and we cut it up and put bats, spiders and eyeballs on it. LOL

I am glad that I got everything done yesterday. Today was windy and rainy all day. I would not have wanted to carry groceries and laundry through it!
I pretty much stayed in the apartment all day, nice and dry! :)
I did order my holiday cards, and did some online Christmas shopping.

I thought the frozen shrimp was even better than fresh. When fresh shrimp goes on sale, you can bet it's not all that fresh. Don't remember the brand.

I have a witches hat that I get out every year. It makes a statement and all you have to do is wear regular black clothes. I'm thinking of being a fancy witch this year and wearing a black cocktail dress that I have, mostly because I probably will have no other opportunity to wear that dress. Broom optional.

I saw a recipe for deviled eggs with spiders on them You make the deviled eggs, then you cut kalamata olives into a spider body, head and legs. That sounds like waaaayyyy too much trouble. Actually, deviled eggs always seem like too much trouble, though I love them. Actually, cooking period is seeming more and more like too much trouble.

I hear you, friend! You can actually get deviled eggs at the store nowadays. It's usually $10 or $12 for 24. But I think it's still too much trouble because people eat a half egg in one bite. $10 for 24 bites of food? It doesn't go far enough for my taste.
