3. Halloween at Perfect Entertaining
*****
Five spooky stars for fang-tastic feast and treats, from kid friendly to elegant fare with a seasonal flare for grown-up dining. A Convenient menu categorizes tasty recipes by Appetizers, Beverages, Breads, Desserts, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Snacks, and Soups. I think I'll begin with an appetizer of Witch's Cauldron, Moldy Cheese Soup, and a platter of Moldy Biscuits, with a Vampire's Kiss drink for the adults, Black Bat Punch for the under 21 crowd, followed by a main course of Stuffed Monster Heads with a side order of Monster Mashed Potatoes, and a Flaming Fall Compote for desert. Latter, we can snack on Ghost Fingers and Bloody Eyeballs. Yum Yum.
