I'm in full preparation mode for our Halloween dinner. I'm very excited about it, but I'm going to go broke from my love to entertain. Right after work I headed to Costco to pick up some supplies for the party. I found this awesome looking ale bottle that would be perfect for our Halloween theme. (Plus, all the guys really like beer.) I only purchased one, but now I'm thinking about getting a couple more. When I got home, I quickly whipped up a curry noodle soup for dinner and was in bed by 9:40pm. It was wonderful. Now I have to do my regular grocery store shopping and the prep for the party! I won't be able to do anything on Saturday during the day before the dinner since we will be in the City for a family birthday party so I will have to do all my mise en place on Friday night. I have my hands full with this menu, but I think that I can prep pretty much everything ahead of time. We plan to have ten people so it's not a huge party and they're all good friends so they won't mind if dinner is a little bit late. There are also a lot of appetizers and booze to keep their bellies happy. I've also started thinking about a NYE dinner party with a couple of friends who want to keep it low key. I just can't get enough of entertaining now that we're settled into the condo much to Nick's chagrin. It means he has to help me clean. Muahaha.
