COOKING with Elvira

Here are a few of my favorite recipes to spice up that Halloween get-together, or just any time the urge strikes you.

I happen to be a vegetarian, but for those of you who just can't live without eating dead rotting flesh, I've included a few gourmet delights for you, too.



Hungarian Ghoulash

1 can beef stew
1 pound paprika
Mix together, heat up and serve. Before dinner, get a blonde wig, wear lots of diamonds and call everybody "darlink."

Honeymooner's Salad

Lettuce alone
Dressing is optional

Corn on The Macabre

Put popcorn kernels in your blender. Add butter and whip until your blender breaks and you lose your appetite.

Bloody Mary Poppins

Put ice cubes in a tall glass. Fill with tomato juice, celery stalks, caster oil and a spoonful of sugar. Helps the medicine go down.!


Chickenhead Soup

1 kettle of hot water
1 diced onion
2 chopped carrots
6 chicken heads

Combine all of the above ingredients and bring to a slow boil. When the chicken heads stop complaining, it's soup!


Spaghetti Ala Mode

A main course and a dessert all-in-one! Heat up a can of spaghetti (actually, take spaghetti out of can, heat up spaghetti and throw can away). Serve piping hot, with a scoop of rocky road ice cream on top. Cherries and parmesan cheese are optional.


Frankensteinfurters

One of my favorite main courses. They're just the ticket for the indoor barbeque during a freak electric storm... just watch those monsters plump when you sock the juice to 'em! Make sure you get the weenies with the crude stitching on the side, signifying freshness... or a sloppy butcher. They contain no preservatives because preservatives won't help. To cook FRANKENSTEINFURTERS, just hold them over an open fire 'til they burst with flavor or confess... whichever comes first.


Finger Sandwiches

A delicious appetizer. They're simple to make and fun to eat. Just takes five fingers - anybody's fingers - and put them between buns. This is known as a HAND SANDWICH. Unfortunately, it's also known as a felony. Well what's life without a few risks. If there are no fingers on hand, you can substitute toes.


Shrimp in a casket

A perfect HALLOWEEN dish. Now, this may come as a shock to you, but 99% of everything you eat is dead! It's the other 1% that's scary. Show your condolences by frying the little suckers in boiling oil and serving them up in little wicker baskets - I prefer a closed casket dinner with gobs of cocktail sauce.


Lime Jello Mold

This is easy. All ya gotta do is mix up a batch of cherry Jello then let it congeal in a hot cellar. Within a week it'll go from blood red to a tantalizing shade of green. Your LIME JELLO MOLD is ready to serve ... or save it until the doctor prescribes penicillin.


What century is this stuff from?!


Pigs In A Sleeping Bag

Wrap cooked sausages in pancakes. Top with fried eggs and zippers. For best results, cook over a campfire.
