A Sneak Peak. . .

Tonight’s the night of my Murder Mystery Party :-) Everyone is so excited, and I just can’t wait!

This is the game we are playing . . . .

PASTA, PASSION & PISTOLS!

It’s set in an Italian restaurant called ‘La Speranza’. The ‘planning booklet’ that comes with it gives you ideas on how to decorate and even has menus for you to chose from, be it home made, takeout pizza or just buffet ‘finger’ food.  It comes with recipes too but I’m making my own.

I’ll be serving some ‘Creepy Cocktails’ to get us in the mood (seeing as it’s nearly Halloween too) here’s one of them, it’s my favorite  - Appletini, but I dressed the glass in black sugar and added a scary spider!

The other is a red cocktail which I’ll tell you more about after tonight.

On the menu is Bruschetta, then my yummy ‘Baked Ziti with Italian sausage’, salad and garlic bread, then ‘Death by Chocolate for dessert!

Wanna see the ‘restaurant’?

I still have some plates to set out, hadn’t quite finished this last night but I wanted to take some pictures with the candles lit and the green lights on.

 

So, the big question now is WHO KILLED PEPI RONI?!!!!

Tune in next time to see ‘WHO-DUNNIT’!
