I have a Busy-esque post (no pics, promise)

You have been warned.

So I mentioned it's DS's birthday.  When I was spitballing themes, DD declared that we should have a Color Party:  different solid color balloons, partyware, cake, you name it.  And I thought it was clever.  (And easy.  DS will forgive me, someday.)

I was at the store when I saw this (okay, there's one photo, but it's harmless), and despite the pearl-clutchy blog posts about food coloring, I decided it was perfect.  DD and I baked it this weekend, and served it Sunday night when we celebrated DS's birthday. 

Because I baked it in a "1" shaped pan, there was less of a layered effect, and more patchy.  No biggie, looked cool anyway.  The piece I ate Sunday was mostly red with some yellow.  Had a leftover piece yesterday that was entirely bright blue.

Y'all, last night's piece turned my poo bright green.  Not olive, not greenISH, straight-up emerald green.  Startling, then amusing.  DS was sort of lukewarm on it Sunday and mostly wanted to throw it on the floor, so he hasn't actually eaten much of it.  I sort of want to feed him another piece, just to hear what the call from daycare sounds like after they change him.  "Um, Heffa, this is Teacher.  DS seems fine, but I just thought you should know..."

excessive amounts of grape faygo lead to a color of indigo that doesn't exist in nature.

Hee! My dad and I shared blue cotton candy once at a hockey game. The next day I called him and asked him if he noticed anything unusual... He had.

I've been kind of busy at work and I'm not really with it right now.

Oh hell, that's absolutely no excuse.

I *just* got Dharma's joke.

I took as long as this gif.

the first time I made beets, I got a call from DK saying he thought he might need to go to the doctor because his pee looked bloody - then he Googled "red pee" on his work computer and realized it was just the beets. he wanted to warn me, so i didn't freak out when i went. 

I've made rainbow cakes for Wolverine's last 2 birthdays, and the gel food coloring gets you every time.
