Poison IVY

Snipe Hearts in Formeldahyde

Abynormal Brain

Gravediggers Meat

Poisonous Iced Hemlock

Spot the Cat for Dessert


We had our annual Fright Night dinner on Sunday and it was very spooky. Dinner was served in the laboratory of Dr. Frankenstein. The menu items were more appropriately termed "Specimens." We had a secret spooky friend deliver some awesome packages on Saturday night.(I think I know who you are, and Thank you!) In the packages, there were some very cute mad scientists glasses that came in perfectly handy for our dinner!
You can see in the pictures that there was an abynormal brain for the centerpiece. We also had the ever mysterious Gravediggers meat that on normal days is referred to as Meatloaf. The Snipe hearts in Formeldahyde were Peach halves in lime jello that were prepared in mason jar "test tubes." The poison IVY was a Green Salad. We actually had 2 abynormal brains-one for the centerpiece sitting in food colored water and the other was steam and served with a cheese sauce. The poisonous Hemlock was Kool Aid dyed black. (one gulp could have been deadly.) And Spot the Cat was actually Brownies cut into a Cat shape with a cookie cutter topped with a "spot" of icing. Everything was served on a white surgical sheet table cloth, and we wore latex gloves while eating.
On the sideboard, was a spooky display of bubbling test tubes. (This involved some dry ice and more food coloring.)
We had a lot of fun as always. I love being married to David because he always knows the perfect touches to add to make things extra fun.
