Our first annual Zombie Party is tomorrow night! We are going to have games, prizes, food, and ….. You guessed it….ZOMBIE MOVIES….. Please join us for a good time!

Ok, ok, ok…..I don’t usually put much stock in Martha Stewart…But I will admit that her Halloween show (and magazine) does have some pretty good ideas for your Halloween parties. Here is a cool punch bowl idea that comes from the Martha Stewart website (Marthastewart.com)

Ice Face and Hands How-To

1. Using duct tape, tape up all of the mask’s orifices, such as the nostril holes, inside and out. Place the mask face-down in the plastic container, stabilizing the mask in place with the packing material.

2. Using the food coloring, dye about 3 cups of water light green (this should require only about one drop of the coloring). Pour the mixture into the mask, filling it about halfway.

3. Lay the gummy worms as desired around the head of the mask, creating Medusa’s hair and using clothespins to hold them in place. Freeze the mask, at least overnight.

4. To create the hands, fill the latex gloves with water (one glove holds about 1 1/2 cups water, so you’ll need about 3 cups for both). Using rubber bands, tie the gloves at the wrists to seal them shut. Place the hands flat on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper, to prevent them from sticking. Freeze the hands, at least overnight.

5. Remove the mask from the container, remove the face from the mask mold, and remove the hands from the gloves. (They should come out easily, but if not, place the hands and face in another container filled with room-temperature water to loosen them from the molds.) Turn the face upside-down to reveal the green face with worm hair.

6. Prepare the punch of your choice (Martha uses lemonade and ginger ale), gently slide the face into the punch, and add the hands — one on each side, palms facing up.

I know we are veering from the usual path a bit with the Halloween stuff….but the staff and I decided to add a few fun posts about Halloween (Since it is our favorite holiday). Don’t worry loyal readers; we will still have our usual posts about architecture, real-estate, and the industry. BUT we are going to be throwing in some fun stuff as well.

With fall just around the corner comes one of my favorite times of year…HALLOWEEN. I know I digress a little with this blog post but I just wanted to take a moment and highlight one of my side interests The Salt City Ghost Seekers. This year the Ghost Seekers are hosting their first annual Zombie Night. It will be filled with food, costumes, and of course Zombie Movies… For anyone who might be interested in attending, stay tuned for further information.
