Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery is a city of Atlanta park supported by the Historic Oakland Foundation. The foundation runs a museum shop in the cemetery's Bell Tower and there you'll find an ever-changing assortment of items related to cemeteries and Atlanta history. We went searching for things to punch up our Halloween.
All products are available at the museum shop at Oakland Cemetery, 248 Oakland Avenue SE, Atlanta. 404-688-2107. oaklandcemetery.com
Funnyside Up Skull Egg Corral
Who wouldn't want to wake up Halloween morning to have their sunny side up eggs staring back at them from the eyes of a skull? We tried this silicone mold and it worked perfectly. Spray the mold with non-stick cooking spray, then put it into your frying pan (preferably nonstick) over medium heat. Crack one egg into each eye ring and in just a few minutes you have a perfectly formed skull with two yellow eyes just waiting to be stabbed with toast sticks. Add two crossed strips of bacon to serve as crossbones and breakfast is complete. (Great for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" too!) $7.99.
Drop Dead Delicious cookbook
This collection of "immortal" recipes was compiled by the members of the Historic Oakland Foundation. "Drop Dead Delicious" features 239 recipes ranging from hot dips to sandwich wraps to sweet treats like Death by Caramel Bars - everything you need for that Halloween soiree you're planning. In the tradition of all great community cookbooks, the recipes were sourced from board members, volunteers and friends of Oakland so you know they've been tested in home kitchens and should work well in yours. $14.99.
Everything cocktail from recipes to shot glass and ice
Oakland's museum shop has you covered for all things cocktail. Start with "The Southern Foodways Alliance Guide to Cocktails" by Jerry Slater and Sara Camp Milam. Check out Wendell Brock's review to see why you need this in your cookbook library. Then use this Doomed Shot Glass to measure out the two ounces of spirits you need for your drinks. And chill those drinks with icy skulls and crossbones made in this silicone Bone Chillers ice tray. Halloween cocktails? Done. $29.99 cocktail cookbook. $11.99 Doomed shot glass. $9.99 Bone Chillers ice mold.
