Oh geeze. I hosted a joint "Sweet 16 " party for my daughter and one of
her friends at a local trampoline gym. In keeping with the time of the
year I made a great big tollhouse sheet cookie and decorated it in a
Halloween theme.

I made gravestones and crosses out of white chocolate and white KitKat
bars, and Hershey bar crypts with the lids broken or pushed aside to
reveal Gummy Mummy occupants inside. There was a cauldron of chocolate
eyeballs, gummy bugs and spiders, and a white chocolate path lit with 16
candles, with little plastic werewolves, vampires and frankensteins
shambling along it.

The kids thought it was the coolest cake ever and I suspect every single
employee at the gym took a picture with his or her cell phone.

I'm not religious, or even superstitious but I have to admit to feeling
just the slightest bit flinchy when they took one of the gummy mummies
and nailed it to a KitKat bar cross with toothpicks.

Dimitri & Barb & Kathleen & sf,

Dimitri said "Are you allowed to do both?" - Easter and Passover

No, and I don't do both. That recipe is for a "cookbook" I wrote for
a production of "Nunsense". We didn't like the one available with the
script (the nuns sell the book during intermission) so a buddy and I
wrote our own. In the script it's called "Baking with the
B.V.M." (Blessed Virgin Mary).

I was very poor one "winter holiday gifting season" so I resurrected
the book as "It's Cooking for Chrissake!" snipped all the stuff from
the Nunsense script (copyright) and printed a limited edition of 18
copies for my (broad-minded) friends. I lost the digital copy when my
last computer died but I think if I can find a hard copy I'll re-enter
it. When I do, I'll share it with rfc . . . as long as you understand
it's contraband. I think you'd like the "Host Toastees" and the
"Sodom and Gomatzah Ball Soup" or "Parting the Red Sea Scallops"

My wife is very religious. She likes religious holidays, especially the
food part, so she celebrates them all! Both Jewish and Christian,
although she throws other stuff in also. Our church always celebrates
the Day of the Dead, which I think is some combination of Christian and
Pagan. Here's a picture:

You can't see the sugar skulls. My wife bought the molds and made the
skulls, and the kids decorated them.

I've been in Mexico for Day of the Dead a number of times. The sugar
skulls and skeletons and chocolate coffins are pretty cool to see.

Altars are set up with offerings of food for the spirits. We went into
a McDonald's to get my daughter a drink and they had both a traditional
altar, with squashes and pumpkins and corn and beans and what not, and
they also had a McDonald's altar, presumably to appease the more
recently deceased.

It's very poignant to see the offerings left in the cemeteries, as well.
Families visit the graves of their loved ones with gifts of their
favorite food and drink. You might see a tequila bottle leaning against
an old man's headstone, and a bottle of milk on a baby's grave.

I'd like that if you ever have a chance. You must have had a ball
thinking up silly recipe titles! How are you doing now? Did you get
your feet wet? I hear the worst is yet to come after the Spring
thaws. Quick, somebody call in the Dutch!

I see you haven't figured out what is making that Ografmorffig (I know
what it says) appear after your email address... or did I miss
something. Have you checked for malware and viruses yet?

Gastronomic Theology - the BEST way to teach kids about other
religions, with FOOD. Now that you mention it, that's probably the
best way to teach anything!

I posted somewhere on rfc that I'm fine - just standing here on the

Hopefully it's the last virus you get too. Mac is slowly becoming
part of the Evil Empire as Linux users increase. Someday Mac users
will wipe that smirk off their faces. <g> Not pointed at you or any
Mac user here on rfc, but I've visited too many web sites that are
totally disdainful of anything PC and don't care how many potential
customers they wave away.
