Halloween Hotplate: Sweet and Savory Served Spooky

My old pal, Jeryck here said he was interested in putting up a cooking contest for the event, and seeing as I'm pretty hands on myself *cough*at kicking butts*cough* I've decided that I could really help spice things up! At the very least, I could use my pudao for some serious slicing and dicing of all the tasty treats. *nods* Makes it easier to share after all.

Whew! Just talking about this is making me very hungry and I always train better after a good meal, so let's get to it, shall we? Please keep reading for the categories and get cooking!

My yes, we are certainly looking forward to this. We have 4 categories for you to work with, and are open to seasonal entries as much as holiday appropriate ones. Our categories are:

Sweets
The most ubiquitous edible this time of year. Baked goods, candy, and other saccharin treats apply here.

Savory
Salty, spicy, sour, all that is unsweet - A wide range of delicious dishes belong in this category.

Sippable
Anything drinks. Thick or thin, alcoholic or innocent, all entries for imbibing should go here.

Specialty
Does your dish meet special criteria? Is it vegetarian? Vegan? Gluten-Free? Kosher? Halal? Etcetera? Those have a place here.

All of these categories have their own prizes as well. They are:

Sweet
5,000g + Perfect Pastries CI

Savory
5,000g + Fancy a Cuppa? CI

Sippable
5,000g + Bubbly Celebrations CI

Specialty
5,000g + Special Delivery CI

RULES

So this being a contest and all, there are some rules of course. If you don't follow them... well, then I'll be forced to dole out some hurt... and I'll like it! After all, I've been perfecting my skills all summer!

The most important rule is to respect the TOS and Site Rules at all times. Or else.
You can enter each category no more than twice.
Your entries will only be accepted if:
______> your user name is written on a piece of paper and physically in your photo entry. No photoshop.
______> you use the exact entry form provided below.
______
Jeryck and I can add any rules we need to at any time.

FAQ

I feel like my entry could fit into more than one category, what do I do?
For the most part, you really should just make a decision using your best judgement. However, if your dish could fit into the specialty food category, you can submit it to that AND to one of the other categories, if it applies to one of them as well.

Can I change my entry?
We can let you do that, sure, but only until it's updated to the front.

What if my image link breaks before judging?
Than you won't be eligible to win. I'm not going to hunt you down, nor do you want me to. Also, Jeryck is just too old. HA!

Here is the form you can use to submit your entry.

Comment: I made Smores treats for my co-workers for Halloween, but that's not very spooky. So I spiffed one up for my own enjoyment using leftover halloween candy :D Cow tails for legs, marshmallow eyes and a nice little golden graham hour glass, because it's a black widow of course.

Comment: Okonomiyaki is one of those dishes where you toss in whatever you want. I decided to get a little crazy and throw in some pumpkin. Not too crazy though. Then to make it look more pumpkiny, I tried to draw a pumpkin face on it and failed. [gonk]

Eee! I can't wait to get cooking. :)

Ooh! This looks like it might be fun. Might try it. I need to restock some of my baking supplies first though.

Oo I have one in mind for the Savory/Specialty one. :D

I've been cooking some good things lately, but I'm finding myself tapped out. Maybe I'll get a second wind.

*hands you a fire stoker to fan your creative flames*

Thank you. Some of the things I've made lately have been super appealing. It's a shame timing hasn't matched up:

Japanese Curry. Looks good, right?

I LOVE CURRY. *drool puddles*

Curry is one of my favorites too. My most favorite might be.... just grilled vegetables?

With just a bit of salt and oil to bring out natural nom noms. For sure.

yes! Haha I'm getting worked up just thinking about it.

When I first discovered sweet potatoes and had them that way I swear I ate them for just about every snack. XD

Sweet potatoes are one of my lazy foods. Too tired to make something? Pop a sweet potato in the microwave and add butter when done. BAM. meal.

Hmm I wonder if I can make one look like a pumpkin by slicing it a certain way.

The first jack o' lanterns were turnips so I bet you could!
