November... Cold
biting wind is howling outside the window, the pale moon is swimming
above the naked trees, and one can almost see all kinds of broom-riding
witches and foggy ghosts in the dark... Isn't it the best party
time for Halloween?!?
Halloween party
will not be Halloween party without great costumes and decorations.
However it will not be that great either without the nice spooky
snack, nicht wahr? Let's start with the hot apple punch, proceed
with Halloween picnic meat and Spicy eggs, and finish with chocolate
cookies. Or you can make up your own menu out of Halloween recipes
compiled on one page!
Hot Apple Punch
Take:
☻1
l natural apple juice (if possible sour) ☻some
sugar if needed ☻2
tbsp. cinnamon ☻juice
of 1 lemon ☻some
liquor (e.g. vodka) if needed
Make:
Blend the apple
juice, juice of a half the lemon, 1 tsp. cinnamon and sugar in a
fire-proof bowl and heat. Dip the edge of each glass first in the
rest of lemon juice, and then into the cinnamon-sugar mix. Fill
the glasses carefully with the punch. The adults should add some
liquor into their glasses - for a more bewitching effect!

it on the rye bread, or even better - on toasts. Listen to the crunching,
and make your imagination work!
Roast all spices
and nuts on a frying-pan till they start exhaling fragrance. Remove
then the mix from the heat, and grind all together in a food processor,

cookies so that they don't become one big pancake! Bake in the preheated
oven for 10-15 min.
