Cheese
   1      tablespoon    To 2 salad dressing

With an adult's help, use a carrot peeler to remove the cucumber skin. 
Discard
the skin and continue peeling long thin strips the entire length of the 
cucumber
until you reach theseedy core. Set these strips aside. Dice the seedy core 
into

pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern. Ask an adult to do the following: Take a
paring knife and carefully poke it into the tomato, about 1 inch from the 
stem,

Using a spoon, scoop out the tomato's center, leaving a large, bowl shaped
space inside the tomato. Chop these tomato insides into tiny pieces, drain 
off
excess juice and add themto the cucumber.

of
a pencil. Cut each strip into thirds and set aside.
To make hornworms, use a butter knife to spread thin layers of cream cheese
onto each side of a cucumber strip. Then, using the cream cheese as a 
"glue",
wrap the cucumber in a coiling fashion around a piece of string cheese, from

Blend the remaining cream cheese with one or two tablespoons of your 
favorite
salad dressing and stir into the cucumber and tomato. Spoon this into your
hollowed out tomato and refrigerate any extra.
Place the tomato on the center of a plate. Ask an adult to use a paring 
knife
to carve out three or four holes the same diameter as the worms in various
places on the tomato. Carefully insert the worms into the holes and arrange
others on the plate. Serve
Sicko serving suggestion: Cover the plate with torn lettuce leaves and 
arrange
worms crawling through gnawed out holes. Use cream cheese to seal one worm
inside a folded leaf as if it had made a cocoon.
