Halloween party

Yesterday my mother hosted a Bunco party at her house and I volunteered to come over and help her party prep. I don't like going to parties, but really enjoy setting them up. I showed up at my parent's house five hours before the party was supposed to start. My mom already had most of the decorating done, so I helped mostly with cooking, cleaning, and setting the tables.

There were four tables in all, and she had each decorated with a slightly different Halloween theme. My mom was running around until right at 7 p.m., when guests were supposed to start showing up. As usual, she made way too much food.

I didn't even tell my mom I was taking this picture, she just ducked out of the frame at the right time to read something out of a cook book sitting on the counter. At 6:45, my mom put a sheet of paper under my nose and said "Make this in a double batch." and ran off to her bedroom to change into her Halloween costume. It was a recipe for margaritas. I've never made a mixed drink in my life, but I can follow a recipe alright, so I made it. In a double batch. It tasted like poison to me, but my mom said it was just like a margarita should be, so I guess I missed my calling as a bartender.
