It’s HALLOWEEN in 4 days!!!! Four more days, and the adorable witches and unabashedly naughty ghouls will be out full strength. I hope the hurricane we are fearing spares us on the 31st. It’s such a dampener on the ‘ghoulish’ spirits of us Halloween lovers.
Halloween also means lots of party planning for some fun gatherings.
In fact don’t you just love dinner parties? I adore them. Large, small, medium, private, public, dancy, fancy, stuck up, footloose, dressy, casual, kiddie, couples, birthday, anniversary or just a ladies night – you name it and I love it.
Creating a fancy menu excites me equally. Should I go for finger foods or mocktails? Cheese or fries? Maybe a pizza night. No, no, let’s have a 7 course dinner evening.
The possibilities are endless. What would you like to cook? How would you go about the decoration? Or table setting? Put on your thinking caps, tie that apron and come on over. Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, I’m sure you are always up for a grand party. So what are we waiting for? Lets have a big party now, and get ready for a grander party next week. So bring it on!!!! Let’s PARTEY!!!!
So what do we have for this week’s Menu?
Appetizers:
Curried Chicken salad in crispy wanton cups – My Personal Favorite this week.
Mini Chili Quiche
Entree:
Mushroom Spinach bacon tart
Sweet Kesaria Rice
Dessert
Apple pie wantons

Link up your dishes right here. I want all of us to have fun. And when you have dinner parties at home, you know where to get the ideas from.
The Fun Begins:
The linky party opens Thursday midnight and closes Sunday midnight EST. You can post:
a) Anything that you can present in a dinner party. Numbers don’t matter, make whatever takes your fancy. Whip up that cream, grab the wine bottle, broil those steaks, chop the greens or fillet that fish. Go healthy or go sinful. It’s a party, HAVE FUN!
You can also post on party decoration ideas, party games ideas, ice breaker ideas, beauty tips, fashion ideas – in short anything that makes a party rocking.
b) Link new or old blog posts. Share one or share more if you want. But please make sure to link the URL of your blog post, and NOT the homepage. Also, post your own creations and photographs that you have the copyright to.
c) Leave me a comment telling me what you posted.
d) Like my Facebook page for updates, and share this linky party with your friends.
e) Mingle with other Party goers. Visit them and leave them comments. The whole idea of a party is to make friends and this is no different.
Next week I will create the menu – I will pick at least 1-3 appetizer, 2-4 entres, and 1 or 2 dessert items. Also I will share the most viewed post and include it in the menu. I will also pick the most interesting and helpful dinner party help ideas.
I will share them on Twitter, my Facebook page and Pinterest.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

We don’t celebrate Halloween on the same scale as Americans. Alfie will go trick or treating but that’s about it. I hope your celebrations go well xx
