Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner and I wanted to do something different and Halloweeny. We did a three course mystery dinner, with spooky names for all the food choices. That meant making multiple dishes, so I need to get those dishes pretty simple. The fun of a mystery dinner is that someone may end up getting dessert for their first course or ordering three desserts and no entrees. It ended up working out kind of funny because out of the five people ordering, no one ordered Ghoulish Coffins, Spicy Maggots in Mud, or Haunted Harvest, and only one person ordered Bloody Brains, so today I have a bunch of leftover food. All five ordered Skin and Bones, so I ran out of that.

Wondering what everything was? Here is the the breakdown:

Bloody Brains - Spaghetti

Haunted Harvest - Salad

Candied Caverns - Pumpkin Pie

Skin and Bones - Hamburger with Seasoned Fries on the side

Spicy Maggots in Mud - Chipotle Chocolate Chili (leftover from our ward party :o)

Ghoulish Coffins - Brownies with whipped cream

Fried Pockets of Pus - Texas Egg Rolls, expect made as wontons, served with pepper jelly - big hit!

Slime Surprise - orange jello with whipped cream


It was a fun night, especially for the kids, who didn't have to do any of the work :o) I didn't have a chance to sit down at all, but that's okay.
