You know, I've had an exhausting weekend, and all the fun has just been sapped out of it--and it's Halloween. My favorite holiday. That is just so very sad.

So I thought I should at least capture one good moment and tell the fandom I love them, and that I hope you all have a very very Happy Halloween. Dress up, eat candy, and don't get your houses TP'd!

(Plus it's a great excuse to show off the gorgeous new Harry/Draco mood theme shaggirl made. So beautiful!)

And to make sure this is even a bit more fandom-y of a post, here's a recipe for Butterbeer that goseaward shared with me that is deLISH:

Butterbeer
Glass of Cream Soda
One Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream
Butterscotch Schnapps (about half a shot)

Put 'em all together and get the ice cream all melty. I kind of work it with the spoon; Goosey says microwaving it a little gives a real nice melty consistency and warmth. It's delicious. Enjoy!

...Maybe I'll put on my Ravenclaw socks for the rest of the evening. Yeah, that's as close to costuming as I'm going to get tonight.

Yeah, I always imagined Butterbeer to have a cream soda-like taste.

But have you seen the Elizabethan recipe for Buttered Beere I found a while back? I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to meet all the qualifications in JKR's description.

It sounds pretty interesting--problem is I just don't like beer! Except in cooking. Cheddar beer fondue, mmm.

what a nice message! I hope you have a cozy relaxing evening too. I drank copiously [in costume] last night and played ultimate this afternoon, so I'm spending this evening curled up in bed with puppy [the cat]. I've been out so much lately she is acting like I'm limited edition.

happy halloween.

Ya sweetie. Give your cat a big hug for me!

That is the best excuse I ever heard to go out and buy a bottle of butterscotch schnapps! Such decadence! The perfection of the recipe is that it requires only half a shot of schnapps, thus leaving almost an entire bottle left to be consumed. Mmm.

Butterscotch schnapps is just like liquid candy! And it's warming on cold nights, too!

That sounds SO GOOD. *runs to liquor store* Soon.

Yes, do try it! I'm gonna try microwaving it next time.

This day has felt like the LONGEST DAY EVAR. *thunk* Daylight savings always messes with my head.

I wish I had schnapps nowwwwwwwwww.

I know! It was, like, ten a.m. and I was starving for a meal. I went about telling everyone my STOMACH was quite convinced it was eleven, thankyouverymuch.

icon LOVE. Serious icon love.

Yeah, my toddler was completely thrown off too. Aie.

That was one of those bash.org quotes and I knew instantly it had to be an icon!
