cookies

I don't usually like cooking, but this year I did something I've always wanted to do and made iced sugar-cookies for Halloween. Boy, are they sweet. So sweet they make your cheeks hurt when you bite into one. Maybe that's why Mom was never into icing them when I was a kid.
The icing was fun though. To get the black, I thought I could just mix some of each of the four food-colours in my set - blue, red, green, yellow - well I did the white, then made the rest orange, then thought it would be easy to add a bit of green and get brown. What I got, no matter how I tried, were various shades of vile green which would have been ideal if I'd been making iced zombies. Then I had the genius idea (if I do say so myself) of adding cocoa powder. Result: perfect colour. And the black cookies will make you even more hyper than the other ones!
They are presided over by Jack, who I carved earlier. The Cyberman is just always there though.

Cooool. Did you get some guisers to eat them?
We got a few local kids, but otherwise did NOTHING for Hallowe'en other than getting out the traditional knitted ghost decorations. (I'm not kidding. They're the least scary decorations ever.) I'm unimpressed with us.
