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.

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.
