Day 9 Moses

I have friends who feel like all of this Advent meals stuff is alot of trouble.  Most nights it is not.  We have to eat dinner anyway.  But I have to say, this one takes a little more effort.  Now that I have said that and looked at the dinner, it doesn't really.  The wings are a process anytime you make them, but you could buy wings.  It would be nice if they still had the tips so they look more "leggy" but you could have them without.  The raspberry is a little tedious, but you could just melt a little bit of raspberry jam.  So there...not that much work. 

Moses (10 Plagues) Food Suggestions πŸŽπŸ”πŸ—πŸ°πŸ΄

1. Blood-raspberry sauce to go around the brownie



2. Frogs -chicken wings without the wingtip (we did our buffalo style, and with just butter and salt after frying for the kids) (2011 addition-This year we are going to make heroin wings--I hate that name---because we have some kind of weird time constraints and these are supposedly good the next day (and I have had them and they ARE fabulous) so I can just heat them with the crescent rolls...here is the link, but you can find recipes for it all over the internet:-) Heroin (ugh) Wings

3. Gnats-couscous

4. Flies - raisins (thanks Don:-))

5. Cattle Dying-cook a hot dog (beef;-)). Cut into 1 inch pieces. Set one on each plate like a little tower. Before eating the meal, tell everyone to knock it down (symbolic of animals dying)

2020 Update-leftover beef tenderloin



6. Boils (wanted to use those butter mints you get at a wedding, but didn't think of it soon enough...used M&Ms instead or a Reese's peanut butter cup.)

2020 Update-Lifesaver Gummies...my people do not share my tunnel vision for chocolate.

7. Locusts/crops decimated-used sugar snap peas...I thought they looked kind of locust-ish, but Darth said that it was the crops....works for me.

8. Darkness-brownies

9. Hail-little scoop of ice cream.

10. Death-crescent rolls unrolled...keep the two triangles together to form a rectangle. Bake for about 5 minutes at 375. We said this was a shroud.You can get 4 of these out of a tube...they are pretty big. 

2020 Update-diagonal perforations sealed and 2 crescent rolls cut vertically.  Rolled into thirds to make sort of a jellyrolls shape.  Place on baking sheet, seam down and baked. 

Arrange all but the raspberry sauce, brownie, pb cup and ice cream on a dinner plate.

Put the raspberry sauce on a plate, stick the brownie on top and put a little scoop of ice cream. Garnish with pb cup.

Moses Ornament πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„
For the ornament, we made little tablets and just put the Roman Numerals of 1-10 on there...that's kind of funny now that I think of it since Moses wasn't a Roman.
