Some of the costumes I’ve done in the past have been Brunhilde (you don’t want to know how many times I heard _Kill the wabbit…_), Lucy (with friends who went as Ethel, Fred and Ricky) and a Tyrolean milkmaid. Always a lot of fun! For food, how about eyeballs? Just make (or buy) meatballs and attach a slice of pimento stuffed olive for the center. A bowl of marinara serves as the “blood” to dip them in. ---

That’s really good mood music for a halloween party. That reminds me, we’ll have to do something for music. I think we’ll just play some disks we have burned from iTunes in the past on our dvd player with the surround sound in the dungeon, but maybe we’ll have to find a little mood music. ---
