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 tiny pieces abo You
now need to remove the top of the tomato, much as you would the top
of a 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, pointing the knife at a 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.
Pull apart the pieces of string cheese into strips that are
about the width 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 one end of the cheese to
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.
