Here's a few pictures from our "Roman Ruins - How to Host A Murder" night. We had so much fun and had yummy food and wonderful company! I get to play the poor widow of the victim (Flabbius) and everyone at the dinner table were suspects. I was Mercedes and drove a four horsepowered chariot. Jared was Harangus Adnauseum, a senator.
Then there was Cleptopatra and Maximus played by our friends Gretchen and David.
Matt and Rebecca were Licentius and Rotunda. Licentius was a trend setter in Roman fashion.
Then there was Bogus the priest of the Cult of the Blue Oyster and Flotilla who had a hard time keeping her ships afloat. These were our neighbors Lance and Jodi.
We had a great spinach dip for appetizers (that Clepto stole off the Internet), I tried my hand a Souvlaki - (also from the Internet - glad to have friends to sample a new recipe - it was so good I may have to post it), pita bread (that I remembered half way through dinner), saffron rice, Greek Salad and a peach dessert.

How FUN! Had I known, I would have loaned Jared my Roman spatha. I must now make a note to speak with my soothsayer... regarding his failure to say sooth!
I hope you appreciate your husband . . . dressing up for cool fairy tale pics in the forest, dressing up like a roman for a dinner party . . . not every husband would be so willing. All your recent posts look like so so much fun!!
I miss those dinners! Glad you had a great time! All hail Caesar!
Awesome! We love doing murder mysteries here, and a Roman theme would be so much fun.
Looks like it was a blast! I am going to need that recipe.
Hey look, I am attempting to blog again.
And I was wondering what to wear for Halloween. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Spinach Dip...mm, mmmm, good!
That looks like so much fun! The Hubs and I went to one of those types of parties when we were dating but I'm pretty sure he'd NEVER do that now. Sigh. Sorta like dancing.
Lucky you to have a Hubs who is willing. The food sounds awesome too. I love cooking for others.
