This year instead of a typical Halloween party, Aaron and I threw a sit
down dinner party. I cleared the furniture out of the living room and
set up a dinner table with candlelight.
The theme was "mad science" so the table had beakers with dry
ice putting off foggy mist, test tubes strewn about and wine bottles
with POISON labels.
Aaron and I even dressed the part. These were our badges.
I got the laboratory invitations, test tube party favors and
POISON wine bottle labels from Martha Stewart's line of crafts at
Michaels.
Here is a shot of the jelly bean filled test tubes with our guests
names on them.
Aaron made the cornmeal encrusted goat cheese with warm tomato salsa
appetizer. He later served up little petri dishes with green jello in
them for an aperitif.
It was a great evening. More pictures of the Halloween dinner
party are on My
Gallery. Matt took some great pictures too.
Great pictures Jenny! I made sure to get mine up fast too. The slide show is over on my site or just head straight to Flickr (I'll get you a cd of the other 100 or so).

Wonderful execution! The whole look is equally creepy and fun, just the way Halloween should be (methinks). Thanks for posting your photos, they were really inspiring. So much so that I had to blog about them :)
