I finally went out and bought my domain name y’all. So I am now, officially, thedilettantista.com.
You shouldn’t have any trouble accessing the site from the old address thanks to WordPress’ handy dandy forwarding service, but if you do have any technical difficulties please let me know so I can do the troubleshooting thing.
I’m a big girl blogger now!
Even better, this is my 300th post! Victory guys, victory!
What kind of Halloween party do you like to throw (what, you aren’t throwing a Halloween party? What’s wrong with you?)? My Halloween party, like most of my social gatherings, is chock full of food. What can I say, I’m a Jew; if there aren’t tons of leftovers after a party then it was a total failure.
A party isn’t a party without lots of finger foods and cocktails, and I’ve found some great, spooky-themed ones for you:
Zombie cocktails from Serious Eats.
The Jack-O-Lantern, a pumpkin-infused cocktail for grown-ups, from The Kitchn.
Vampire Blood Martini from the Kitchn.
Mauled Apple Cider from Martha Stewart (not just for Martha Mondays!).
Red Sangria from Martha Stewart.
Vampire Kiss Martini from the Food Network (I know, it is Sandra Lee, but look at the teeth!)
