Hi, Julie B. I seem to have acquired your copy of Spooky Rhymes and Riddles. It's mine now. All mine. From Scholastic Book Services, Spooky Rhymes and Riddles (1972, Lilian Moore, illustrated by Ib Ohlsson) is a collection of poems on witches, ghosts and monsters. Unlike the childhood-scarring Poems to Trouble Your Sleep, these all favor fun over fright. The complete contents are: The Ghost in Our Apartment House The Monster's Pet When a Monster Scolds Her Children Ghost Baby What to Say to an Alligator The Friendly Guy Spooky Riddles The Ghost Goes to the Supermarket Mrs. O'Gray Greedy Goblin Listen! Cat The Monster's Birthday Johnny Drew a Monster There Was an Egg Something Is There Spooky Limericks Poem About THEM When a Ghost Gets Smudgy The Witch's Song Bedtime Story Teeny Tiny Ghost

They could be from The Necronomicon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, or simply Poe's "quaint and curious volume," but everybody needs at least a few tattered leaves of ancient mind-blasting arcanum lying around to impress guests. Especially around Halloween. This tutorial presents an easy method for producing weathered "antiqued" paper without much expense. The trick of soaking white paper in coffee or tea to give it an old, yellowed look is very familiar, but the process for selectively burning the edges of the paper is my own invention. A simple and safe chemical treatment is used to selectively burn the page, only where it has been applied, upon mild heat treatment.

If you haven’t figured it out or haven’t been around here very long, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and has been since I was little. While I love to have fun with it kid’s parties, costumes, and decor, my personal love as an adult falls somewhere in between the gory and childish. I want things to feel spooky and creepy, but beautiful. This year is definitely one of my favorites, and the way Justin shot it only adds to the spookiness. When it comes to seasonal decorating, I prefer to focus all of my attention on one area and really pack a punch instead of sprinkling items throughout the house. Two years ago it was the dining room this bone runner DIY is so simple, last year it was the library, and this year we’re back in the dining room. I’m not at a stage in life where […]

After starting off my 'Summer of Halloween' blogs with a way cool candy recipe, now we're really off and running with Halloween spirit with this gruesome appetizer. This is an idea from my friend, Zach. Last Halloween, he made this way-cool appetizer shaped like a hand. The hand was made of goat cheese wrapped in prosciutto and he served it on a cutting board with a knife through it. It was pure genius! I loved it! In fact, I loved it so much, I've been waiting all year to make it! And that time has come... I've adapted Zach's recipe just slightly however, instead of using all goat cheese to shape the arm, I added a mozzarella roll to make the arm portion. I like the idea of the mozzarella roll because it gives the impression of the bone sticking out. Plus it adds another tasty cheese to the platter. Serve it on a cutting board along side some eyeballs (olives) and you'll have instant creepiness... you'll get a ton of 'oohs' and 'icks' but after they taste it...you'll get nothing but 'Mmms'! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks for the great idea Zach! Amputated Appetizer: Three Cheeses wrapped in Prosciutto Serves a crowd 2- 4oz packages goat cheese (I used one herbed and one plain) 2-8 oz packages cream cheese 1 package prosciutto 1 mozzarella, basil and prosciutto roll Bring cream cheese and goat cheese to room temperature and mix well. Return to refrigerator to cool down and firm up about 45 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Use small and large cookie scoops to scoop out the cheese mixture onto the parchment. Use the large scoop for the palm of the hand and the small scoop for the fingers. Don't worry about it looking like a hand at this stage, it will look like a very lumpy, stumpy blob. See? Now this is where a little patience will need to kick in. Using a small spatula, begin molding your hand and fingers. This will take a while but don't worry if it doesn't look proportional, once you put the prosciutto on, then you'll be able to mold it a lot easier, since it will be covered with it's skin, so to speak. Begin layering prosciutto, wrapping the slices around the fingers. You may need to refrigerate it to firm it up if it becomes too soft. Some of the prosciutto will extend where the wrist will be. This is okay. You will use the overlapping prosciutto to attach the mozzarella roll. Sorry this is a blurry picture but I wanted to get this shot to show how to attach the arm to the hand. :) Apply a little pressure as you stick the mozzarella roll into the goat cheese portion of the hand. Roll the prosciutto back over the mozzarella roll. Add a few more slices of prosciutto until you get the desired effect. I chose to leave some of the mozzarella roll uncovered so it would look like bone sticking out. Pretty creepy huh? Now you are ready to mold the hand and fingers and fine tune your appendage. I squeezed the wrist area a bit and thinned out the fingers. Later, I ended up moving the thumb down a bit more as well but it's not captured in this picture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it's firm enough to move to a platter or cutting board. Happy 'early' Halloween! Enjoy!
