Halloween

i put in a little more effort on the goodies this year, not my costume. like i wrote yesterday, i just wore black. i'm the pointless exclamation point!

anyway, it wasn't the case with the candies and adult goodies though. i bought candies to give out from Mast General Store, some taffies, nougats and candy bars. however, for the discerning "adult," i got treats from South's Finest Chocolate Factory. some friends were over so I also made a huge pot of pasta -- just my specialty marinara sauce and meatballs.

relearned how to make meatballs actually. i saw this clip by an Italian chef on how you cook meatballs in the traditional Italian way. so, i tried it and it was a success. that recipe will become a menu mainstay.

of course, no party's complete without the booze. i'd pre-ordered a couple of kegs from Downtown Grill and Brewery, then got a few bottles of vodka and mixers.

pizza was in the house too. a few boxes were delivered just in time.

with the booze, pasta, pizza, and chocolates, you bet Halloween was happy. see you guys next year!
