Fill the egg-white halves with
the yolk and mayonnaise mixture.
Press an olive into the middle
of the mixture, with the pimiento "looking" up.
Sparingly dot the yolk and mayonnaise
mixture with red pepper flakes and then, for effect, stab each
"eyeball" with a toothpick. (This is truly a case of
form meeting function!)

Soup of the Dead (Serves 6-8)
Be sure to write this recipe
for your guests using the substitute ingredients provided by
our culinary specialist, chef Frank N. Stine. Also, place large
rocks by your guests' bowls so that they will be prepared to
beat down any of the animal parts that are still moving!
* 1/2 pound smoked kielbasa,
cut into half-inch chunks (farmyard byproducts)
* 6 chicken wings (baby bats)
* 6 lamb riblets (gopher legs)
* 4 to 6 chicken feet (witches' feet)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
* 2 10-3/4 ounce cans tomato soup
* 1 cup water
* 1 cup chicken broth
* Several fresh basil leaves
Rinse the meat and place in
large pot with enough water to cover. Add the salt and pepper
and cook over medium heat until boiling. Simmer until the meat
is thoroughly cooked.
In a separate large pot, mix
the tomato soup with one cup of water and one cup of broth in
another large pot. Stir in basil and cook until just beginning
to boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
When the meat is ready, transfer
it into the soup mixture. Ladle the brew into individual bowls
and, as an afterthought, bring the pot to the table to ladle
up a witch foot for each guest!
Buying chicken feet in bulk
is the cost effective way to go! Since you've got them, why not
boil up a batch, slice a few baguettes, place a chicken's foot
inside studded with ketchup, and leave the claw hanging out the
end of the bun. It's guaranteed your guests will give you a hand!
Frozen Jack's (Serves many!)
* 24 navel oranges
* 24 cinnamon sticks
* 1 gallon chocolate ice cream
Carefully cut off the tops of
the oranges. Hollow out the orange, leaving the thick shell of
the navel orange. Cut faces into the oranges (you can even do
this as a contest or party activity). Pack the ice cream into
the orange, without letting any ice cream come out of the eyes,
nose or mouth. Cut a small hole in the top and put the top back
onto the orange. Stick a piece of cinnamon stick in the hole,
to make it look like a pumpkin stem. Freeze for at least three
hours. |
