To celebrate this wonderful event of Halloween, we had a party last night. And being the domestic goddess that I am, I cooked up a storm in the kitchen.
We had the witch fingers and monster eyes cookies. The blood dipped cocktail glasses were a big hit. Then came out the 113 double sizes jelly shots with Halloween lollies in them. Well that set the party mood then. For a back yard shing dig, I think everyone had a really good time. I took my hosting duties very seriously, making sure everyone had a drink in hand or at least another jelly shot.
One of guests, John brought a nice present for everyone one to enjoy. Vodka infused gummy bears. These were the hit of the party. Slimy but strangely satisfying.
Naturally everyone came dressed up in costume. I was a dead bride, complete with my own wedding gown. My best friend Shae completed the picture by coming as my very own zombie bridesmaid with the same dress she had to wear to my wedding. We had rodeo clowns, convicts, Vikings, Gothic Alice in wonderland, bumblebee, and some mixtures I just can't explain.
About half way through the night, while all the party goers were full at it, I started cooking the Bat Wings (marinated chicken wings) and Human Testicles (chicken and garlic balls). They went like a bat out of hell....Hahaha.
To end a fantastic night all the guest then helped clean up and put furniture away before heading out clubbing. All in all I think it was a great night.

Cooking sucess
Being a rockabilly housewife means doing the wify things like cooking but with a twist. This week being Halloween I made a few treats for some party guests coming over.
The first thing I made was witch fingers. They look awful but taste really good. Just a basic biscuit batter with whole almonds as finger nails and jam just to make it look a little more gross.
Then with the left over batter, I made Monster eyes with M&M's for iris's and melted chocolate to make the eyelids.
I have to admit that I am very proud of myself for getting creative in the kitchen. But I have to admit I would really like to own an apron. Things got pretty messy that day.
Then to add a bit of class to the upcoming party, I made blood dipped cocktail glasses. The blood is just sugar taffy with red food colouring.
So all in all it was very successful.

The begining
So my first blog. Its a bit daunting, but here goes.
This is the life and times of a girl looking to be all things rockabilly as well as a domestic goddess in the house. But into social times both of these are very hard to achieve.
I hate how society says that a modern woman needs to have a career and work everyday of her life, because if you stay at home and cook, clean and raise babies your repressed by men.
Well I hate to tell everyone out there but they have it all wrong. I would kill to stay at home all day and do this. I know what your thinking, how is a girl raised in the 21st century even thinking like that. I saw what my Mother went through trying to live up to these expectation and not once did I ever see her content and happy. I don't want to live like that. The women of the past have no idea how easy they had it not having to go out and work, as well as cook and clean when they got home.
As for my prospects of living the rockabilly dream, they're limited. I live in a tiny town, which hasn't quite gotten to the stage of accepting the different subcultures of the modern time. The only rockabilly store we have in town is soo expensive it's not funny.
Anyway I'm off now. I don't think I went too bad for my first time.
