Two Parties, One Weekend

So I accidentally had two parties this weekend.

What, you never accidentally have two parties in the span of 24 hours?

Originally my roommate and I were just planning on having a little breaking up party - we've lived together for seven years but are officially moving out next week.  So of course we invited people over and played obnoxious break-up songs on repeat.  But then the guy who was supposed to host the Superbowl party we were going to had a little problem with pipes bursting in his apartment, so my boyfriend and I stepped in to offer a space.  And then spent Saturday morning in a cleaning frenzy.

For me, hosting a party always means making jello shots.  I've had a special affinity for them since my brother and I were both unemployed and living at home for a couple of months.  We ended up spending a lot of time shooting nerf guns at each other and perfecting our jello shot recipes.  My brother even bought me a set of these awesome jello shot glasses - you twist and pull on the inner cup to get the jello out.

I saw this recipe a while ago on Pinterest for making the jello inside of a lemon, and had to try it out.  I used an orange peel instead, and put strawberry jello with raspberry vodka inside.  They didn't come out quite as cute as the originals, but still pretty cool:

Oh, and of course, my roommate and I ended the night with a little Whitney - I Will Always Love You.

Have a great week everyone!
