"H" is for Harry Potter!

It's been a while.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two happened, and it was the best/worst thing that ever could have happened, but I wouuuuldn't have it any other way. To anticipate the midnight release, we had a movie-a-day marathon in the week preceding the premier, and on Half-Blood Prince night, I decided to make Harry Potter foods =D!

Pictured below is my recipe for butterbeer, which consists of butterscotch syrup mixed with Reddi Wip, which drifts to the top to make a foamy substance when you pour in the cream soda.


This is the version that happens when I can't sleep at 2:30 AM, so I use the six droplets of Reddi Wip that dribble out of the can--a highly disappointing result when one considers the firecrackeresque whistling it made-- and also tremendously flat cream soda. Additionally, there was a moth careening about in the kitchen, and I was eleven percent sure it was going to murder me, so I had to act fast. Er, quickly.

This is the one Kaelin expertly made on the actual day:


We also had crumpets that were an interesting non-catastrophic mistake, glazed carrots that never stood a chance, Shepherd's Pie, and pumpkin pasties that turned out reasonably well. It was a fun time. All was well.
