BLOOD SOUP

This is an easy recipe.
You will need a can of tomato soup and a pack of musksticks.
First, cook the soup in a pan over a stove.
Then break up the musk sticks
and put them into the soup to create...
...blood soup with delicious fingers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DEAD FINGERS

This is a shortbread type cookie that look like fingers.
The dough is piped onto the cookie sheet
(use a bag without any tip to get a finger sized cylinder) .
Then using the dull side of a butter knife make lines
suggesting knuckle and wrinkles,
and add an almond for the fingernail.
I found the unblanched variety look particularly creepy.
You can add a bit of red icing if you want a bloody finger
(ie.that translucent yuk that comes in a tube).
I have experimented with this idea and
found it better to make an impression with the
almond rather then bake them and "glue" the
almonds to the finger afterwards with the "blood".
This gives a new twist to the term "finger foods".'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BRAIN COOKIES

Ok, if you're still with me, the next item is a brain cookie.
You colour a icebox type dough
a sickening purplish/gray shade and then push the dough
through a colander to make extruded spaghetti shapes.
Then you loosely pat spoonfuls of the dough into brain shapes
(well at least most kids' notions of how a brain is shaped).
I think I experimented with different kitchen tools
with this one and ended up using one of those
collapsable steamer things to make the spaghetti.

FRENCH FRIED EYE BALLS

2 pototoes
relish

Mash potatoes and mold them into balls.
Cook 160C in oven 20 min.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BUGS IN DIRT SANDWICHES

For this you will need white bread,
a pack of mixed bug shaped lollies and milo.
First, spread your slices of bread with margerine or butter.
Then, sprinkle the buttered slices with milo until coated.
Carefully stick the bugs firmly into the milo
and place remaining slice of bread on top.
Voila! you have bugs in dirt sandwichs!

BRAIN CELL SALAD

mixture and serve.

CRUSTY BOOGER BALLS

1/3 cup of the unprepared gelatin,
almonds, and almond extract.
Mix well with a large mixing spoon or rubber spatula.

or until mixture is firm enough to mold in your hands.
Scoop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls and shape into various-sized balls.
Place them on a baking sheet,
lined with a sheet of waxed paper.
Make sure they are all slightly different, just as each
and every booger is unique and special.
Place a second sheet of waxed paper on
your work surface and pour remaining unprepared
lime gelatin on the center of the waxed paper.
Roll each ball in gelatin to coat well
and create a thin outer layer.
Then place back on the baking sheet.

YET ANOTHER EYEBALL DISH!

(- - - - !!!!!!!)

Ok..all you guys that are going to make
this gruesome delight pay attention now!
I've found a great way to shape the Tootsie rolls.
When they are soft and shapaeable you blunt the ends.
Then you roll slightly to make them evenly cylindrical
(pencil width) then indent with your [CLEAN]
fingernails to ring it like a raccoon tail, stretch slightly
then push gently back together.
I think you guys get the idea right???
More "realistic" the better [grosser]!!!!!!!

GORY HAND

Presentation is everything!

This is both a yummy treat and
a great decoration to scare your friends.
Use a clean rubber glove.
Make a strong cherry or other red jello
by using 3/4 of the recommended amount of water.
Hang the glove over the sink by using
clothes pins attached to thin strips of wood.
When the jello has cooled,
pour into glove and place in the deep freeze.
Be careful not to have the hand pressing
against anything or it will ruin the shape.
When the jello is frozen
cut the glove off using small scissors.
Keep your masterpiece in the fridge
until ready to display.

alternate Gory Hand tip:

Take a clean rubber glove and fill it with water,
tie it and put it in the deep freeze.
Keep it in there until your party.
When you're ready take it out of the glove
and put it in the punchbowl instead of ice!

peppermint essence
