HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Had an office Halloween party. Cake, candy treats, and kitty litter were served. That's right, I said kitty litter. It wasn't too bad. A bitter flavor, slightly nutty aftertaste. Ok...so it wasn't really kitty litter. Grapenuts cereal were mixed with flour, creating a surprising grayish look. Then Tootsie Rolls were rolled into p** shaped piles. Sadly, I can't take credit for this, but it's still a brilliant idea.
