I had a wonderful evening at my friend Lauren's (http://thefoodcomplex.com, check out her blog to see more food from the night and get the recipes (coming soon)) Halloween themed dinner party. There was a ton of amazing food that was both delicious and festive. I always indulge a bit to much anytime I am eating her food. And, her condo was fabulously decorated in elegant Halloween decor that set the perfect mood. But the best part was we were able to have a fun night with our whole gang of friends (minus one getting her PHD in Michigan) for the first time in a long time. We had a fun "family" meal with yummy dessert and old time Halloween movies. (One being Hocus Pocus my fav - Halloween is not complete without it!) It was great talking, laughing, reminiscing and just being ourselves.

Yummy appetizers including "spiderweb" guac - still super delish!

And jalepano popper "mummies." Yummies!

Festive table settings.

And bottles to go along.

The gangs all here (part one)

And ready to eat, nomnomnom!

Yumm, pumpkin pasta and turkey "eyeballs" :)

And of course dessert. Complete with a chocolate coffin, fingers, and eyeballs, and chocolate witch hats filled with a sweet surprise (it was candy corn).

Along with delicious cream cheese filled pumpkin streusel muffins.

So much pumpkin food we began turning into pumpkins?

The gang (part 2) we were all pumped Miki made it  all the way from Ohio :D
