OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS: Betty Jo Moss 10/3 Betty Sutherland 10/9 Barbara Sonnen 10/31 RECIPE OF THE MONTH: Do you have a great recipe that you use for get-togethers like our All-nighters or meetings that includes snacks? Send them or give them to me and I will include one each month. If you have a special recipe you would like for me to feature or if you have a request, let me know. Halloween Appetizers - Cocktail Weiner Spooky Goblin Toes Halloween appetizers don't have to be complicated. Make it easy on yourself by jazzing up your favorite mini pigs in a blanket! Add poppy seeds for "freckles" and sliced almonds for "nails" and you've got a creepy treat that all goblins and ghouls are sure to snatch up! Ingredients: 16 smoked cocktail wieners 1 package of refrigerated flaky pastry roll dough 1 tsp of poppy seeds 16 sliced almonds (for toe nails) Honey mustard dressing OR Swiss cheese sauce 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out refrigerated dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half. Place the first cocktail wiener on top of the wide end of triangle (leaving about one-third of the wiener exposed) and roll up in the dough, ending with the skinny end. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. 2. Note: Unlike the usual mini pigs in a blanket recipe, you will want to have more of the cocktail wiener exposed as the "toe!" 3. Repeat with remaining wieners. Lightly sprinkle all appetizers with poppy seeds. Bake for 10 minutes. 4. Remove from oven and let cook slightly. Take first appetizer and holding carefully so as not to crush pastry, make a small slit inside the exposed end of the wiener and slip the edge of a sliced almond inside to make the nail of the goblin. Repeat with remaining "toes" and serve immediately. 5. For an extra creepy touch, you can drizzle with "blood" (or ketchup) or accompany with honey mustard dressing or Swiss cheese sauce. Yield: 16 goblin toes 4
