THE pirate party

I never have party's, but since two of my goals in life are 1) throw a party and 2) dress up like a pirate then why not combine the two. Since i am now a 'stay at home mum' i had plenty of time to make pirate themed items.

 Starbucks helping with the balloons

In addition to the balloons, i tied the curtains with rough rope, brought some chocolate parrots to hang against them, and tried to dress the room as grand yet Caribbean as possible.

It is obvious that i like desert much more than any other part of a meal, evidenced by pineapple and cheese on a stick (or mini sword) for starter, Jamaican Beef/Chicken/Vegetable patty, plantain and rice for main, and then..... cakes, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate moose and fruit salad for desert!

The cakes, Shark infested water with two elephants on desert Islands

 

The room set up for 'The pirate council meeting' in the 'Jolly Roger Inn'

 Xss the Cabin boy and Starbucks the skeleton

 

Peanut butter creation (white chocolate, mlik chocolate and peanut butter) - deadly.

 

The pirate boat fruit salad. Hard to carve without a sharp knife

 

Great effort put in by all, Honestly dressed as 'Anne Bonnie'.

 I got a murder mystery game off the Internet which was great at helping with suggestions for setting the room and food. It suggests that you eat a course of food, then listen to a quick summarising track on the CD, followed by some scripted dialogue and some scripted (or "say in your own words") questions and answers. They had some great characters to dress up as, and some BRILLIANT one liners during the read dialogue discussions, and it was a laugh, however
