Halloween Food and Scary Movie Festival tonight at 28. I made the imperious, rather assholey move of deciding who would bring what and further demanded that all food be Halloween themed. Time will only tell what others have come up with, but here's what Q and I are taking.First, bean dip. Tasty, spicy, creamy. Not particularly good for us. Decorated with tofutti-licious sour cream web and spiders I whittled out of olives. The spots of red on the particularly scary looking ones are sri racha. I went that way instead of Franks for the creepy and bloodlike vermillion hue. I think I get extra points since the olives were not pitted and thus extra tricky. Whatever.
We're also bringing dessert. I volunteered us for this honor because VCTotW has been burning a hole in my kitchen counter for weeks now. Well, maybe the metaphor doesn't work here, but you know what I mean. These are the red velvet cupcakes with buttercream frosting. I got the wrong kind of food coloring, so they came out more brownish-maroon than red. I had been looking forward to a scarlet-gore sort of effect. In any case, I hope they look like brains, but it took a couple tries to get the technique quite right. As with all such things, I know what I would do differently next time. Right now I'm just hoping they're tasty and nobody confuses the decoration for piles of sloppy intestines. What do you think?
Also, first ever food porn on Ignorance Toboggans!

I say with no sarcasm that of all the foods I never want to see again because I got sick, your cupcakes are what I would consider eating again tomorrow. Nuff said. There's nothin wrong with dem bwains.
My bean dip was, in my opinion, sort of "meh"--I guess since I didn't put in the artery-clogging full cup of cream cheese and 10 oz. of cheese it called for. Sometimes, you just gotta say "no" to crack.
But those cupcakes were awesome! Who knew brains could be so sweet?
Ow. Ow, ow, ow.
Owwwwwwwww.
Fuck, I am aching to hang out with you guys right now.
Also, I really do want to have a discussion on "Darkness," I've just been hyper-busy since I watched it, what with the Chinese karaoke and all. Will be in touch soon.
Oh my god, those are the cutest brain-cupcakes I've ever seen! Hee hee.
I never got a chance to try the bean dip because I thought it was chocolate pudding and was going to wait until after...d'oh!
Thanks, Lindy Loo. I'm glad they get your stamp of approval!
BEM: Seriously, dude. We need a long, scotch-infused re-hashing of Darkness. Immediately. All of us. Enough with the karaoke. More with the traveling to b-lo.
