That is good, love the duck and cherry sauce combo - I've had that before.

I haven't had that combination, but it does sound good. I just need a full-time chef around here (plus a full time maid) and then I can get stuff like that instead of PB&J!

A dinner party sounds a bit informal for Halloween. Sure, I do plan to serve food when I have my Halloween party, but it's not going to be so formal as a dinner party.

And the 'bill of fare' is going to be quite simple. Hot dogs roasted in the livingroom fire place.

I think one of the mystery/who-done-it type dinner parties would be cool for Halloween. Not that I have done one, but it would be fun!

I need to correct myself here. I meant to say that a dinner party seems a bit "formal." Halloween is supposed to be very leisure and fun, not formal. Formal is like dressing up in a tuxedo or your best suit and tie. I never have parties like that. I'll cook good food when I have a party, but it's never anything so "formal" as a dinner party.

The "who done it" theme also sounds like a great way to have fun. Some t imes when I visit my family in October they play the board game "Clue." It's not as much fun as a real murder mystery scenario, but the object of the game is to gues the name of the morderer, the weapon used and the room where it was done. It's fun, though I'm not a huge board game person.

Hi,
I figured you meant "formal".

I do agree with the sentiments, and definitely wouldn't do the tuxedo unless it was part of those who-done-it mysteries and the guest had to wear one!

I think it would be a fun theme for a Halloween party if it was primarily and adult party. Older kids too if they were told old to trick-or-treat.

As for the food, there's never a bad time for barbecue. That's just my opinion, but I barbecue all year around, and some times when the weather is cold, and I'm feeling a bit lazy, I roast hot dogs in my livingroom fire place. Best Kosher or Vienna are my personal favorite brands.

Now if I really wanted to go all out with the food, I would barbecue a boneless Standing Rib Roast. That can be great on sanwiches, or you can do potatos and veggies and a salad. Weather permitting, I am definately going to barbecue on the real Halloween, even if it's the hot dogs in the fire place.
