 Sandy Stillman and Chef Cel add drops of blood to the green-eyed concoction
 There are never too many cooks in the kitchen at Gourmet Central
 Count Dracula loaned a few chairs and decorations for the party.  He has centuries of experience presenting formalized dining events and enjoys having guests over for dinner in his gothic fortress in Transylvania, Romania.

Bar specialties included Black Martinis, Tequila Vampire Serum, Blood Shoot Lemonade and Mummy Eyeball drinks
A smoking concoction sure to put the most sober person under a spell.  Did you know the word "alcohol" comes from the Arabic word 'al-kuhl' which mean body eating spirit?  Neither did I -- I just Googled that but there are other theories as to why we call alcohol or liquor "spirits."

 Mini Love Bat Cheese Balls with edible eyes
Crepping Crawling Mounster "Caviar Mousse"
"Jalapeno Mummy"
 Frankenstain Eyeball Soup made from cream of poblano
 Halloween candy never tasted this good and the fun was in each bite.
 Transylvanian Tenderloin with Hallucinogenic Mushroon Sauce & Deep Sea Lobster Mollusk joined by Black Forest Asparagus, Ghostly Mashed Potatoes and carrots.
 Several decorated Tombstone Grand Marnier Blitzes!!  Mine is on top with a shot of Voodoo Coffee
