Creepy Halloween Menu

Chris had to work late tonight, so I went to my parents' house for dinner.  My dad had told me that there would be a spooky Halloween menu, but I wasn't prepared for just how awesome our dinner truly was.  When I got there, they were still putting the finishing touches on the main course - snake calzones!

Isn't that just the cutest thing?  The eyes are olives, the tongue is pepperoni, and the skin is colored with butter and green food dye.

They looked pretty gruesome after they'd been cut up!

With the snake calzones we had witches' fingernails (Bugles) and brains (macaroni salad with red food coloring).

For dessert we had pumpkin, pumpkin filled, and autumn sprinkle Dunkin Donuts...

...with a special spooky beverage - boiled blood!

It was white hot chocolate with red food dye.  It ended up looking more pink than red, but I think it's still pretty spooky!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Tuesday Tunes - It felt right

This song is super catchy and the lyrics are fun.

The way you use your imagination
Try to make it what you want it to be
Because I'm sorry I did what I did
But it came naturally

Tuesday Tunes - Into the night for once

At first I just liked this song for the way it sounded, but then I really listened  to the lyrics and I loved it for those as well.  It's beautiful and perfect.

Tuesday Tunes - Let me be your ruler

Tuesday Tunes - Leave no heart unbroken

This song kind of embodies a lot of things I'm feeling right now.  I'm in this place between looking forward to the future but still longing for the past.  It's strange to think about how many different versions of myself have existed, and how many are yet to come that I probably can't even imagine from where I'm standing.  Is that too weird?
