Haunted graveyard cake
To make the ghosts, heat oven to 110C/90C fan/gas ¼. Whip the egg white in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Whisk in the sugar a tbsp at a time and keep whisking for a couple of mins until the mixture is thick and resembles shaving foam. Gently spoon the mixture into a large freezer bag, then cut a 1.5cm hole in one of the corners. Cover a baking sheet with some baking parchment. Carefully squeeze a small circle of whipped egg white out of the bag, pulling upwards as you do to make a ghost shape. Repeat until the mixture is used up – you should get about 15 ghosts. Bake for 1½ hrs until crisp. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Now make the cake. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the cocoa powder, self-raising flour and sugar into a large bowl, breaking up any clumps of sugar. Mix together the eggs, milk and oil in a measuring cup or bowl, then pour over the dry ingredients and stir everything together until smooth. Grease and line a deep baking dish (20 x 30 x 5cm) with baking parchment. Pour in the cake mixture and bake for 30 mins. Leave to cool, then turn out onto a serving plate. Alternatively, wrap well and store for up to 2 days.
Finish decorating the cake: heat cream in a saucepan until just boiling. Place the dark chocolate in a large bowl and pour over the hot cream. Stir until the chocolate melts. Use a clean brush to paint a layer of chocolate over 7 rich tea finger biscuits, then set aside to cool. Pour the rest of the chocolate mixture over the cake and smooth over with a knife. Whizz the chocolate cookies, or bash in a freezer bag with a rolling pin, until small crumbs form. Sprinkle over the top of the cake.
Place the white chocolate in a small bowl, set over a pan of simmering water. Leave for 5 mins or until melted, then spoon into a small freezer bag. Wait for 10 mins so the mixture is not too runny, then cut a tiny hole in one corner of the bag. Pipe out 2 small blobs onto each ghost, place a silver ball on each to make eyes, then pipe out suitable words and shapes on the gravestones. Leave for 30 mins to set, then push the biscuit gravestones into the cake and arrange the ghosts around. To get the ghosts to ‘fly’, push a thin wire (you can get these from a florist shop – remember to remove before eating) into the bottom of the ghost, then place in the cake, hiding the wire behind a gravestone.
This stand toward the west-end of Dongmyo flea market has plenty of keyboards - both PC and musical - on offer. And lots of other goodies too. ;-)
Just use a 1-1-1 ratio for these easy treats. 1:1 water and sugar, simmer til clear and syrupy. Add same amount of cranberries (so if 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar, use 1 cup cranberries). Soak for four hours. Remove, roll in sugar, place on greased/wax papered sheet to dry. Eat! They taste like sugar-coated bursts of slightly-tart cranberry sauce. Addictive!
They look amazing perched on top of cupcakes, cakes, pavlovas, or other holiday treats!

4/8 - "SON OF A...."
And now the swearing starts. An inevitability when switching out a drain is that the tailpiece - the straight pipe that points downward under a sink drain - will be either too long or too short. Even though tailpiece connections are ostensibly adjustable, the tailpiece of the new drain will still be the wrong length to match up with the pre-existing drain line.
In this case, the tailpiece is too long, necessitating trimming it to length. Could have been worse: a too-short tailpiece would have required a trip to the hardware store.

Tried this technique and liking the results using water and food coloring.
Any comments and criticisms welcomed.

With my job being a 3D-artist/-designer and my hobby of 3D printing I thought of a nice and experimental project related to photography. I've been very interested in generative design lately and explored a hybrid modeling technique to incorporate organic, turing pattern like surfaced into industrial design models. I chose to make this organic and somewhat alien looking grip for my Yashica Electro 35CC and print it on my MSLA printer. This project was all about experimentation and learning. So I took the opportunity to also try mixing my own resin colors. That bone like one was mixed from 3 different resin colors and the black one from 2. Besides that I recently upgraded my FDM printer to a direct drive which allows me to print rubber like material. So I also made custom rubber grommets for the base plate. To finish things off I applied a few layers of clear coat to both grips for a glossy look.

You can choose to go more or less than 2 inches, do make sure that you leave enough material to maintain structural integrity of your box, though.

DIY Mason Jar Pendant Light Kit
We made it simple!
www.glassinsulatorlights.com/listing/672526619/diy-mason-...
Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar for rolling
24 chocolate candy spheres with smooth chocolate filling (such as Lindt Lindor Truffles), refrigerated until cold
48 decorative candy eyeballs
1/2 cup prepared chocolate frosting
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with baking parchment.
Beat shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup white sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg into the creamy mixture until fully incorporated. Stir milk and vanilla extract into the mixture until smooth.
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl; add to the wet mixture in the large bowl and stir until completely incorporated into a dough. Divide and shape dough into 48 balls.
Spread 1/4 cup white sugar into a wide, shallow bowl. Roll dough balls in sugar to coat and arrange about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and quickly press a dimple into the middle of each cookie using the blunt end of a wooden spoon. Cool cookies on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Cut each chocolate sphere into two hemispheres. Put one piece atop each cookie with the rounded side facing upwards.
Spoon frosting into a pastry bag with a small round tip or a plastic freezer bag with one end snipped off. Dab a small amount of frosting onto the back of each candy eyeball and stick two onto each chocolate candy to resemble eyes. Then pipe frosting in four thin lines, starting at the base of the candy, on each side atop the cookie to resemble spider legs.
Let frosting harden at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container.
