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.)
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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!

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?)

So when cat Orville, named after the famous aviator Orville Wright, was run over by a car, his artist owner decided to turn him into a permanent piece of artwork as the ultimate tribute by transforming him into a flying helicopter.
