Add a little romance to your Halloween celebration by scheduling a date night with your sweetie complete with costumes and a themed menu.
In college Halloween was no longer about cute costumes and candy. It was about finding some way to make any costume as revealing as possible. That meant even strange things like elephants could be made cute as long as a short skirt was involved. While you may not be heading out to a keg party in a tiny costume this year, you can still have a little fun with your date. Pick a theme and plan your meal and your outfits around it. Since you’ll be indoors with someone you love, a bit of skin showing is encouraged. See how creative you can be by making costumes out of things you have around the house.
A diner themed event is easy, fun and delicious. Throw your hair in a ponytail, put on some Sandra D. style leather pants and find your man a leather coat and a tight white shirt. Serve up a meal of delicious burgers, fries and of course, milk shakes. If you are trying to please a picky eater, create a burger bar with several topping options so burgers can be made exactly the way people like them. For a unique spin on the traditional burger, try this Greek-style turkey burger.
