Fake "fried maggots" for Halloween.

Basmati-rice.

Boil for 5-10 minutes until juuuust done.

Rinse. Dry with towel.

Oil in a cold pan, add moist rice, turn up to medium heat, fry until golden.

The rice-grains will get grooves, just like the segments on a maggot. Approximately like this:

1. Rinse the rice until water is clear.

2. Boil for ~10 minutes until almost done. Rinse in a sieve.

3. Clean pot, put baking-parchment on the bottom, coat the parchment with oil. Add moist rice. Add a shot of water, not too much. Put a towel over the pot and the lid over towel and pot, to seal it airtight.

4. Put on stove. Set stove to highest temperature. Once your hear frying-sounds from inside the pot, set to lowest temperature. Let it steam for 30-45 minutes without lifting the lid.

5. When done, remove lid and towel. Put a server-plate upside down on the pot and swiftly flip plate and pot, so the rice will fall on the plate.

EDIT: That up there in the pic is just the crispy bottom bit.

Blood and worms - Spaghetti and tomato sauce - sprinkle on some gummy worms to top it off. Eye balls, white grapes, dry well, take fine brush and paint red lines.

Bobbing for body parts - get some joined plastic dolls at the thrift store, pull apart, spray a little red (blood) and blue (bruises)paint n the parts, put in big wash tub. kids love this

Kitty Litter cake, this recipe on internet I made it once, when the kids were younger
