I really love epicurious.com and Douglas Little's suggestions for a more sophisticated (sorry, kids) Halloween party, featuring an upscale Witches' Sabbath theme for the evening. Click here for details, and while the theme is indeed witchery, perhaps a bottle or two of Vampire Wine can be served? And if you're at such a party drinking coffee in the wee hours to sober up before heading home and cream curdles in your cup, there may be a real warlock among the guests. Or the cream just might be past its prime but it seems much more interesting to have a Halloween warlock around.
