Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.)

Do I actually need caster sugar?
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That costume is 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.

Jessica,
that is SUPER COOL.

I like the nutmeg solution. Does she not like cinnamon at all, or can you put in a hint? Maybe fresh cinnamon would make a difference (freshly grated?)
