Yellow Yaks: Oat-Fudge Bars

Soul Cakes and Halloween Costumes

“Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble” - Witches’ Speech, Macbeth

End of October and early November is an interesting time of year. Marking the end of the harvest season, October 31st - November 2nd share four separate holidays:

Halloween on the 31st;

All-Saints Day on the 1st; and

All-Souls Day and Samhain on the 2nd.

For such an interesting time of year, it’s no wonder that recipes have appeared across time to commemorate each occasion.

Traditionally baked to celebrate All-Souls Day, Soul Cakes are sugar-cookie-esque spiced cookies (or biscuits) that are made with none of the vanilla extract, baking powder, or baking soda that we’re used to seeing in modern recipes. Rather, they rely on their interesting blend of spices to treat your taste buds!

If you’re looking for something to keep the Halloween season going at school or work even after the holiday has passed, bring in these cookies to snack on!

Have a safe and happy Halloween/ All-Saints Day/ All-Souls Day/ Samhain everyone!

P.S: The fox in the picture is named Elphaba!

"im owned" is both the saddest and funniest way for techno to tell his friends he won't make it

Context

I’ve spent a few days wondering whether or not I should reblog memorial posts for Technoblade on this blog. However, he and everything he did for his fans, friends, family, and the mcyt community is important to me - so here they shall go.

I’ve tried a couple times to write a proper farewell post of my own, but was never able to get it quite right. The reblogs I’ve chosen are the closest I could find to express how I feel about the news and his legacy. I may reblog more as time goes on.

Rest easy, Blood God. You will be missed but never forgotten.

If you can, please consider donating to the Sarcoma Foundation of America. He really believed in all of the work they do.

Ohoho, I am a Big Fan of this!

Green Guardians: Peppermint Patties

Did you know? MCC 7’s Green Guardians hold the current record for most coins scored in a single event, with 25’346!

Time for another MCC dessert: Green Guardians Peppermint Patties!

They may be the Green Geckos now, but my idea for this predates the change so I’m considering it valid lmao. This was a lot of fun to make and introduced me to coloured melting chocolate and candy food dye.

The white chocolate makes these a little sweeter than you would expect for a peppermint patty and they go great with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate!

Check out below for the recipe to make some of your own, and, of course, thank you Scott Smajor.

My culinary journey has been less one from “setting off the smoke detector” to “not setting off the smoke detector” and more one from “setting off the smoke detector by accident” to “setting off the smoke detector on purpose”.
