Halloween Dinner!

So, as I am sitting in McDonald's (oddly, where I like to go to do my homework. All the diet Dr Pepper I can drink, and none of the distractions of friends. But sometimes the internet itself proves to be a distraction, but that would be the case wherever I would go to do my homework,) I decided I wasn't quite ready to start doing my homework. (Don't worry, I'll do it, Mom. I have at least two assignments I have to do by Monday and I'm not leaving until I do them.) So I decided to tell you about the Halloween dinner I made for my apartment complex's dinner group. (Seriously, the most genius idea ever. Once every three weeks, I make a big meal for 12 people. But all the other days, I get fed! It's excellent!) My day was on October 30, the day before Halloween. And my original plan was to make chicken Tikka Masala (one of my very favorite foods), but I couldn't pass on the opportunity to make a Halloween themed dinner! Here was the menu:

-Mummy Heads
-Cocktail Wormies
-Pumpkinlings with Goblion Gook
