So sorry I have been away for so long, after a busy weekend last week with Ashleigh, I then had a travel week to Florence - so I really haven't been doing very much cooking! I will endeavour to start again on Monday and after plenty of eating out last week there is a ban on pasta in the flat. I thought I would blog a little about the Halloween party last weekend, the food seemed to go down well but as per usual I made far too much and we were snacking on Halloween treats for a few days.

This is what I made:
Mini Pizza Mummies
Twice Baked Potato Skins
Pesto & Parmesan Pasta
Chocolate & Cherry Pancakes
Chocolate Orange Pumpkin Cake (which I hacked with the meat cleaver and ruined...)
Blood Orange Punch (LOTS of Vodka involved here)
Limoncello & Prosecco Fizz

The Pumpkin Cake did not get eaten, my fault entirely as I really wanted to use our scary meat cleaver so I hacked it up a bit and made it look very unappetising - safe to say, I had drunk a few glasses of punch and probably should not have been allowed near the meat cleaver in the first place. Here is a picture of the cake before I destroyed it though.



The potato skins were not Halloween themed but they were the favourite by far. Bake the potatoes until cooked through, cut them in half and scoop out all the filling into a bowl. Add handfuls of cheese and cooked bacon with a knob of butter and mix together, then scoop the filling back into the empty skins, top with a slice of mozzarella and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

The party was fun and we ended up at the one and only night club in Venice, which was tiny but I have missed clubbing sooo much!! Thanks to Ash for being on top form the whole weekend and to everyone that made the effort to come to the party and dress up!



And finally, thanks to my favourite flatmates who helped decorate and cook even with essay deadlines looming and let me loose with my make up on their faces. xxx
