This weekend was definitely interesting. Saturday was our Halloween party that we throw every year. In the morning I woke up and made my way downtown to the last farmers market of the year to meet Jon and Meggy. We shopped for veggies for the Ratatouille that he was making for the party, and I was astounded at how pretty fall is looking despite the snowfall we had last week. Pretty scenery makes me happy.
Once I had finished my shopping and cleaning for the party, we started getting ready. It was quite fun because every time we finished a task we would take a shot of Tequila as pregame for the party. So much fun. Julie and the roommate made Cheese Triangles for the party (but we ate them all before guests arrived), Maxie made cookies, and I made my Drunken Pumpkin (Mulled Cider) which I will post the recipe for soon!
Then the party guests started to arrive, the drinks were poured, we watched Rocky Horror Picture Show, and had an all around great time!
- Friday night I had to say goodbye to the guy I'm seeing because he moved to Oregon on Saturday (not happy-boo) BUT I booked plane tickets last night to go see him in 17 days! It was a lot of money, but sooo worth it. I can't wait to go!
- I'm thinking I'll call him Bingo-thanks to Janna's suggestion. What do you think?
- I'm pretty smitten. He is so cool.
- My good friend Max came back from Essen and the big game convention last week. His game made the front page of a Scandinavian magazine!
- Last night we tried a new restaurant called Cafe SuperNatural. It's Vegan/Gluten Free/All Natural and it was soo good! Bonus that they gave us 25% off dinner for Meatless Mondays! I had the Mesa Azul which was blue corn tamales and a salad-it was SO good. We also had Lavender Lemonade, Ginger Lemonade, and Julie ordered a Chakra Smoothie!
That view is beautiful! I could look at that all day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great party and that Drunken Pumpkin sounds YUMMY!
Love the pictures! Looks like you had an awesome weekend (: That's exciting that you are going to go see him! I am one state up from Oregon haha.
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween party looks like it was a blast!! And so happy that you're going to get see Bingo soon - and yes, I think the nickname is appropriate ;)

ReplyDeleteI want to go to your Halloween party next year. I don't even mind helping with the cleaning if I get tequila.
ReplyDeletei really want the mulled cider recipe, i love it when other people make it but i never have myself. oooh, that picture of the mountains is beautiful but i am not ready for snow yet-- not even a little bit. and i'm thinking that at least your friend moved somewhere fun, oregon is a great place to visit ! " : )
ReplyDeleteGreat happy list. I haven't been to a Halloween party in years! Our neighborhood is trick-or-treating central for Birmingham (on of the most popular neighborhoods) so I will be preparing for the onslaught today! ;P
