Maddie and I made these Cookie Monster Cupcakes this afternoon (inspired by this). I used flaked coconut for the “fur,” which I dyed with blue gel food coloring in a zipper bag. There’s probably a better method, but that’s all I had on hand. I also dyed the frosting blue. For the eyes, I melted white chocolate chips in the microwave and poured little circles onto waxed paper. We put an upside-down chocolate chip in the center of each one before the white chocolate hardened. I sliced a “mouth” and inserted a small chocolate chip cookie (Chips Ahoy!) into each cupcake. I think they kinda look like frogs, but they’re not too bad for our first attempt. The kids in her class loved them!

One of my favorite horror movies from the ’80s was Bad Dreams. It’s about a little girl who survived the mass suicide of the cult (Unity Field) her parents were involved in. She wakes from a coma several years later and finds herself in an institution. That’s when the fun begins! Some of the songs from the soundtrack came up on my playlist today, so I thought I’d share them here. I’m not sure if I have the same verson of Verdi‘s La donna è mobile (from Rigoletto) as the one that was used in the movie. I have several versions of it, so I just picked the one that sounded the best. Also, the movie version of My Way was not by the Sex Pistols, but it’s close!
