Think we should tell him your spouse and trans daughter learned German for heritage reasons, but somehow managed not to become Nazis?

And here were the desserts and beverages tables:

"Graveyard cakes" topped with cookie tombstones and dirt made of crumbs.
Punchbowls with beverages of vaguely threatening colors, draped in gummy worms and snakes.

More from the main apps/entrees table. (I'll do desserts and drinks in the next post.)

Crudités in the shape of a skeleton: mushroom slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, sliced and baby carrots, cauliflower florets.
Another skeleton-shaped platter of crudités (cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, pea pods); "spooky mashed potatoes" (a large roasting pan full of baked cheddar mashed potatoes, topped with a large spider web and spiders drawn in sour cream).
A panorama shot of the full appetizer-and-entree table, including the dishes shown in this and the previous post.

Here are a few from the last big themed meal I did before the pandemic. (More in next post.)

Tangerine pumpkins (tangerines with celery stems); ghost bananas (half-bananas with chocolate-chip eyes); bloody dip (beet hummus); witches' broomsticks (pretzel sticks wrapped with string cheese and chives)..
Apple pumpkins (apple slices cut with a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter); mummified Brie (baked Brie draped in strips of puff pastry, with added "eyes").
Cheese slices cut into pumpkin shapes; roasted Hallowe'en veggie slices -- sweet-potato pumpkins, potato ghosts, "witches fingers" (rainbow carrots).
"Octodogs" (hot dogs cut into tentacle shapes); "seeds of evil" (roasted pumpkin seeds); an unlabeled bowl of something that looks like shed skin (probably broiled ham slices?).

We've lived in Massachusetts for a quarter-century and have a family cabin in Maine, but had never seen the aurora before even when it was visible much further south. That changed tonight. This one is by @unchi.org, who has a better camera than I do:

Photo of the nighttime sky over a three-story house with trees behind it. The Aurora Borealis can be seen with waves of bright magenta red on the left and soft teal green on the right.

Photo of the nighttime sky over houses with trees behind them. The Aurora Borealis can be seen as dancing vertical stripes of magenta that fade into soft sea green near the roofline.
