Halloween Birthday Party for Grandson

Pick out your best party outfit!


You're invited to The Haunted Gazebo House

on Twisted Shinbone Lane.

~~pretend you're hearing *Phantom of the Opera* music~~

To wish DGS (#2) Charlie a very

Happy Halloweeeny 8th Birthday!

The ghouls & goblins invite you to a creepy-crawly

dining experience with decadent desserts in the

haunted hallways of The Gazebo House.

The Raven knows the way.... just follow him!

OUR MENU:

Fried Spiders on DEVILED Eggs

1. Hard boiled eggs
2. Mayo
3. Mustard
4. Salt
5. Pepper
6. Black Olives

(rubber flies on the center eggs)

Goblin's Knobby Fingers
(carrots with almonds for nails)

dipped in French Onion Spider Webs





A ghastly trio of bubblegum characters

await at each child's place-setting.

For starters, we'll be serving

Feathered Fowl Droppings
(Won Ton Soup)

in pumpkin bowls.

Don't mind the skull lurking there...

He can't eat much but

I'm not so sure about the spiders &

the snake!

Won't you try some Creepy Mummy Hot Dogs

with Souless Black Pepper Eyes

(wrapped in Pillsbury bread stick dough)

served with bloody globs (ketchup) for dipping.

Little 5 yr. old DGD, Ms. C. says "They look like babies in blankies!"

She wanted to eat her's "nekked" without the "blankie" LOL

We're also having Witches Hair Pasta

with lots of garlic to ward off any uninvited Vampires,

BBQ Rack of Wild Boar
(pork ribs)

Roasted Bovine Muscles
(steak)

served with Transylvania Juice (A1)

or Transfusion Sauce (Heinz 57).

We're still very civilized, you know.

Would you like a spot of tea to go along with your meal?


We also have a selection of

Halloween Elixirs for your enjoyment.

HOG'S BREATH:

This is a tasty & sweet drink....(Coke-with or without rum)

The after effects
the next morning, however, may leave friends
running the other way!


WITCH'S MILK:

Straight from the cold, clammy Witch herself!
It's a chillingly delicious spirit poured over ice
or darkened with deep, decadent chocolate!


BLOOD BUCKET:

Let your inner vampire out & enjoy a tasty shot of fresh cold blood....

(Blood Type?? Why, V8 of course, plain or in a Bloody Mary)

You won't regret it!


GOBLIN SNOT:

A sweet treat from the mucus glands of Goblins.

Who knew it tasted like oranges? (Sunny D)

You're welcome to sit a SPELL if you like

& just savor the feast.

Be sure to save some room for candy treats from the Witch's basket.

Or perhaps you'd prefer a DEVILS FOOD cupcake

with web icing & spider bodies for a sticky-tasty topping?

There is always a stash of goodies at

The Gazebo House....

Just help yourself!

Rollo Pretzel Treats:

Spread out square pretzels in a single layer on cookie sheet.

Top each with an unwrapped Rollo caramel-chocolate candy.

Bake in 200° oven just until candy begins to soften.

Remove from oven & immediately top with either a nut

or another square pretzel.

Allow to cool.....if you can stand the wait!






Thank you for coming to Charlie's Party.

We had a blast & the only sad part of the whole day

was when little 5 yr. old Ms. C. folded her arms

across her chest, stuck out her lower lip

in a big pout and said

"This was WAY better than MY birthday!"

I promised her I would think of something really

special for her next June!!


"Thank you" also to Susan for hosting

as well as Michael for having
