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.
This evening we went downtown to help promote the Luche
Libre exhibit at the
George Eastman House by handing out Mexican
wrestler mask printouts. Aaron and Vishal wore real Mexican
wrestler masks... I was a rabbit and Tina was Marilyn Monroe. A big thanks to Rachel from the GEH who organized the evening and hooked Aaron and Vishal up with the masks.
Aaron even rode the mechanical bull at Daisy Dukes with the mask on.
The mask did not enable him to stay on.
Somewhat like my Valentine's
Heart Tree, I made this Halloween
Bat Tree for on my dining room table. Super easy, all you
need a branch, some black craft foam and a few other supplies.
It is driving Stewie crazy... he wants those bats so badly.
