Food on the Table: Halloween
Heather Hunsaker
foodonthetable.com
October is here and that
means lower temperatures,
colorful leaves and, of course,
tons of tricks and treats!
Halloween is just days away
and you may be wondering
.how you can help your child
stay safe but have a haunting
good time on fright night.
A home brewed Halloween
party will have every ghoul
and goblin screaming and
laughing in fun delight!
Here are four tips to have a
fun-filled Halloween party on
a ghostly budget:
Decorations: Keep things
simple and stick with a
classic orange and black
color scheme. Plates, nap-
kins, tablecloths, balloons
and streamers can be bought
in these colors at a fraction
of the cost of those specific
Halloween decorations. Look
for these items not in the
seasonal aisle, but where all
the other colored decorations
are found.
Entertainment: Go for a
pumpkin theme and play pin
the nose on the pumpkin.
Afterward have children
decorate small pumpkins
using stickers and markers.
Or, simply host a Halloween
movie night and watch some
kid-friendly "horror" films.
Make it a neighborhood
event: To help keep costs low,
organize a Halloween block
party. Ask each neighbor to
bring some "scary" treats.
After tummies are full, allow
all the children to go from
house to house as group
trick-or-treating together.
"Scary" eats: Simple party
food can easily be trans-
formed into an imaginative
Halloween dish. Slice hot
dogs, place in boiling water
and watch them curl into
"worms."
Add dry ice to a' classic
green party punch to make
an instant "witches brew."
A few Halloween shaped
cookie cutters can transform
sandwiches into instant
Halloween art.
For dessert, top chocolate
pudding cups with crushed
chocolate wafer cookies. Add
gummy worms and instantly
you have edible "dirt and
worms." Other fun themed
party foods: black bean chili
with pumpkin corn bread
and movie trail mix with
pumpkin seeds, candy corn
or black and orange choco-
late candies.
Speaking of Halloween
grub, partygoers will want to
gobble up this tasty but fun

In 2011, it is estimated t;,:t ,;' ::,

diagnose breast cancer in its early
stages, when it's most treatable.
Doctors recommend a clinical
breast exam every three years
beginning at age 20, and a
mammogram every year starting at
age 40. Breast self-exams and
healthy lifestyle choices that
include exercise, good nutrition and
not smoking can also help protect
women against the threat of breast
cancer.
During October, National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, we
remember the mothers, daughters,
friends, sisters and wives who have
lost their lives to breast cancer. We
also salute the survivors whose
successful fight against breast
cancer gives us hope for the future
and a cure.
