Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! We had a party at our home on Saturday.. spent Sunday recovering and cleaning. And today H went dressed up, he will have a parade and a class party and then trick or treating at night. D cares a lot less as he is 'older' now.

I have been hosting the Halloween party for years now.. it is low key.. so crazy elaborate costumes.. we mostly stick to cat ears and scary masks.. it's more about the getting together than anything else. Initially I put in a lot of effort with themed food.

By now I feel like I have already done most of the ideas.. and I don't want to making the more crazy elaborate things out there on the internet. I want to keep entertaining fun and honestly as long as the food is good our friends don't care.

So this time I went with an Asian theme and made this with noodles, this with rice, this salad, Costco vegetable spring rolls and the best coconut soup which no matter how much I make we never have leftovers, plus these for dessert. And yes I forgot to take pictures. I am not big on following recipes.. mainly in regard to the spices.. we like everything spicier than normal. 

I did take pictures of the dessert..

The original plan was to have a drizzle of fake blood and some candy eyeballs but my fake blood turned out too watery and I didn't have more ingredients, then I asked M if he could run out and get me some black decorating gel to make Jack Skellington faces. He couldn't find any. So then idea three.. thankfully it worked and I was able to put the kids to work on this one.
