Spider Ring Cupcakes I made for my sister's dance (Making a dozen cupcakes is fun. But 200 cupcakes for a bunch of preadolescences who are too busy attempting to grind on the dance floor to notice the excellent piping job? Not so much)
I was even low key with my costume! I was planning on making a costume entirely out of candy/candy wrappers (sort of like Project Runway meets Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus) but alas, no time. So instead my friend and I passed out candy and delighted every little girl under 12 by dressing up as Miley Cyrus(originally to be trashy/slutty Miley, but again,the little kids)/Hannah Montana. Everyone loved Hannah....no one noticed Miley. I can't blame them,but I was a bit disappointed because I cleverly held a frame with this picture:
with "Just Friends" written on top. It went right over their heads,but oh well.It was a fun night of blaring "Best of Both Worlds" from the house and giving out empty Wonka Nerd boxes to those who refused to wear a costume yet still demanded candy ( a beloved tradition in my house).
The night was finished off with watching Sweeney Todd and eating all the leftover candy we had(we strategically gave out all the Tootsie Rolls,but kept the Reese's). Hope you all had an awesome holiday!

Start with about 2 cups of quartered cherry tomatoes (note:if doing this as a pasta salad base, you'll have to increase everything a little bit)
Add about 2-3 handfuls of parmesean cheese.
Finely chop 8-10 basil leaves and mix in.
Finally add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. I usually like to add some chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil, but I was out this time.
