Welcome, Bill! (Also re: purple food dye, how wonderfully Halloween-y and appropriate!)

I stopped by to rob your image of an eyeball and stayed to read the whole article. Loved it. I am so making eyeball cupcakes this coming halloween!

Incidentally, purple food dye comes from beetle guts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal).

It is sick! And wrong! And unnatural!

I shall go home and write a song about it.

It’s so odd that I find you hotter as Robert Smith. So odd.

Craziness indeed! What a peculiar guest. Do they avoid the plums and grapes in Superstore, I wonder.

Were those the iced pumpkin cookies you gave me the recipe for so many moons ago? I make those regularly, but always without icing… not because it’s unnatural, but because it seems like gilding the lily. Too bad you didn’t get pictures of your monstrous cookies!

Your costume is phenomenal! And the eyeball cupcakes look just as scrumtrillescent.

Still, I know what it’s like to face Halloween treat discrimination. I iced my pumpkin cookies with two different colours of icing this year, and one guest refused to touch the purple ones because it was an “unnatural” colour compared to orange. (Pfft. I can probably name just as many naturally purple foods as orange—and it’s exactly the same cookie. Plus, the orange ones had something like ten times as much food colouring as the purples because orange requires one drop of red and something like 20 drops of yellow. Craziness.)
