*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

Kids and adults everywhere enjoy making Halloween a “spooky”
time with everything from haunted house hopping, pumpkin
carving, creating the wildest costumes for trick-or-treating
and more. Here is a fun recipe keeping with the Halloween
flavor, a CREEPY BUG JUICE that is a must for any Halloween
gig. A unique twist on this idea to go along with it? Instead
of regular ice cubes, freeze 1 or 2 plastic (not latex) gloves
full of water and once completely frozen slide the glove off
and add the hand-shaped into the punch to keep it cold – makes
a great conversation piece!

Don’t forget the “be safe” tips for taking the kiddies trick
or treating below too.

Enjoy! Marzee

TRICK OR TREATING TIPS FOR KEEPING KIDS SAFE THIS HOLLOWEEN:

* Make sure costumes are flame-retardant and light or
  bright in color. Dark costumes should have strips of
  glow in the dark tape along the back.

* Use face paints rather than a mask which can obstruct
  both breathing and vision.

* Make sure your child has…
   – a name tag complete with your address and phone number
   – change to make a phone call for emergencies
   – a flashlight

* Young children should be accompanied by an adult, and no
  child should go out alone.

* Trick or treat only in familiar neighborhoods and set a
  time for when your children should return home.

* Treats should not be eaten until the child is home so
  that you can inspect everything first.

* Check all treats for signs of tampering and discard all
  loose and homemade treats (unless you know the person
  who provided them)

               Be Safe This Halloween!
