Dressing up, guessing who is who at parties, eating sweet treats and drinking spiked cider... This is Halloween in my book! I don't know about the rest of you, but October sort of came and went without so much as a "hello." All of a sudden it is cold outside and I am already looking back fondly on my celebration this past weekend. Wow how time moves so fast...
I am happy to report that my Halloween "menu" was amazing. First things first, when my friend Peggy decides to throw a party she goes ALL out. I am not talking throwing some chex mix in a bowl and setting out a bottle of Jack. I mean spider webs hugging every square inch with fake rats, severed fingers and sticky eye balls nestled throughout...tea light candles glittering the room to give a spooky feel, scary carved pumpkins, professionally decorated cupcakes and shrunken head cider. Now that's what I call a party...
Seriously, Pegs gave Martha a real run for her money by executing this cider recipe that involved carving faces in apples and baking them...that's dedication. Anyone throwing a Fall-type party should try this out. You could carve different things in the apples if you want to change the theme :)
Not only was the food amazing, the costumes ran the gambit from funny/offensive to down-right creepy. Thing 1 and Thing 2 (a.k.a. S1 and S2 according to my friend Sarah's boyfriend, Frank)...Osama, Pee Wee Herman, Mr. Rogers...need I go on? It was pretty entertaining and I am just glad I have friends with a wonderful sense of humor. The only thing (or person I should say) missing from this festivity was our London-ite friend Thomas - that's right I am calling you out - who we were desperately hoping would surprise us all dressed as an avatar (he is giant tall and would have been PERFECT).
All in all though, I would say it was a successful party full of laughter and yummy food. Although maybe next year the party organizer might want to footnote the invite: no creepy childhood characters...
