A Different Halloween

When the kids were younger, I planned four weekends of preparation for the big holiday:
-decorating the house and yard
-carving jack-o-lanterns
-planning costumes
-completing costumes

Now that five of the kids are teenagers or older, their interest in Halloween is much less intense. But 11-year-old Peter asks me almost every day about some aspect of the holiday. His solitary experience is substantially different than his siblings, for whom Halloween was definitely a group affair.

A few days ago, Peter brought me this recipe for "Halloween Stew." I believe it is his own creation. Sounds yummy (!).

6 cups of Ginger ale.
2 bags of gummi worms.
Five (5) scoops of surbert Ice cream.
hard shell® chocolate surup.
2 Oreges.
1 can of Peaches.
2 1/4 spoonfulls of sugur.
