Chinese Takeout on Halloween? - You're Joking!


© Viraj Talpade

I thought that since everyone at Suite101 is getting into the Halloween spirit, I'd put in my two bits as well. So this week, how about some ice-cold "Nuclear Waste" instead of the regular Coors or Heineken to start you off?

Or if you have an aversion to alcohol, how about some "Glycol Punch" to wash down the "Gnarled Witch's Fingers" that you're having for dinner?

There are almost 56K recipes at The Kitchen Link to make your Halloween even creepier this year!

So here are some things you can make within the hour for Halloween this year. Have fun!

Gnarled Witch's Fingers

1 tbsp veg oil
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
Pitted black olives, halved length-wise
Shredded lettuce

Carefully cut chicken breasts partway to create five fingers. Here's where you can get creative with your carving. It takes just a wee bit of effort to teach yourself to cut a chicken breast. The uncut part can be the palm of the hand).

Slice the "fingers" a little crooked for effect. Dust in flour, dip in egg, coat in bread crumbs, broil for 5 minutes each side till golden and cooked through. Trim the tips with the olive fingernails and serve on lettuce.

Nuclear Waste

1 measure blue curacao
1 measure Bailey's Irish Cream
top up with one pint cider (or lager if you prefer)

The end result is a sort of greenish-brown liquid with scummy bits floating in it and a THICK layer of scum on top. Tastes wonderful, especially if you dunk chocolate bars in. (These are referred to as Control Rods, and the bar of preference is a Toffee Crisp, if only because the crisped rice pieces start floating around in the drink, making it look even nastier.)

The nuclear wastes I've seen mix blue curacao and orange juice (and vodka). Turns everything a very nice shade of fluorescent green.

The recipes for "nuclear waste" reminded me of the Glycol Punch I made for a party. My friends and I don't drink alcohol, so this is sick for all ages!

Glycol Punch has two primary ingredients: Diet Mountain Dew, which has an decidedly evil odd yellow glow to it. The "diet" is necessary so that you don't over-sugar people.

Alternately, use regular Mountain Dew and mix Kool-Aid with less sugar than usual). By the way, we also tried other sodas, including Squirt, 7-up and Sprite, but none had that evil yellowness.

A flourescent blue liquid; I know for a fact that the raspberry "little hugs" drinks for kids are the perfect color. There is a Kool-Aid blue
