Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OOOH. Will do!

Do I actually need caster sugar?

I am so excited about Dylan's Halloween costume!! He decided he wanted to be The Atom, which meant it had to be DIY or very very expensive, so I asked my knows-how-to-sew-and-stuff neighbor to help out, and this was the result. (She also made a little gold atom symbol iron-on patch for the forehead once the cowl arrives - I ordered a blue lycra ski mask from Amazon, and a pair of red lycra opera gloves.)

No. I actually think the eggs get fluffier with regular sugar, if you're beating it by hand. (Which I do because I don't have a dishwasher)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I posted that one here, and I have one in the oven RIGHT NOW.

Ooooh, that looks good. I wonder how I can adapt it for M, who Does Not Like cinnamon. Allspice, perhaps?

Jessica, I love Dylan's costume! That's awesome.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Great costume, Jessica!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Epic thanks for the offer but I got in at 1130 last night and am leaving after work!

Aww, phooey! Well, hope you've at least been able to enjoy the sun a little while here.

Allspice could work, or maybe nutmeg? Or add a little lemon zest and go for more of a coffee-cake flavor than apple-pie.
