If A Halloween Party . . .

Happy Halloween! I love Halloween. Dressing up, passing out candy and cute tricker treaters. Orange is my favorite color and I love all things pumpkin. I collected some images this past month of stuff I would use if I were throwing a Halloween Party. There will be no Halloween at the Lab5 casa this year. Sad, I know but this mama is just too busy to take it on. So instead I can think about it through pictures.  Hmmm there is a lot of alcohol – maybe I need a one person party to get some drink on. Here goes . . .

Mint Chocolate Cupcakes

So for the Memorial Day BBQ I was invited to by my friend Cheri ‘s and I thought it appropriate to bring Mint Chocolate Cupcakes since Cheri is from the south and all. She asked for someone to bring corn bread to compliment the pig they had been roasting for three days and I love to cook but as a mid-westerner you don’t volunteer a southern dish at a southerners party! So I thought minty and bake goods. So here are some shots of the fun Mint Chocolate Memorial Day Cupcakes. Oh and sorry again to my friend Cheri for leaving the left-overs behind. Poor girl had to smear coffee grounds and baby poo on top of the trash she had placed the cupcakes in so as not to have a George Costanza moment of weakness fishing in the trash.
