OK, so what do glow-in-the-dark cocktails and maraschino cherries have in common?
Nothing. Randomly they came to my attention at the same time, and I’m inspired to share.
Glow-in-the-dark cocktails I’ve been teaching a Cupcake Wars class for twelve middle school girls, and we have been having so much fun. Last week, we were doing Halloween cupcakes, and we decided to experiment with glow-in-the-dark frosting (really dayglo, because they need black light to reach), and we discovered that regular old tonic water (quinine) reacts with black light. How fun! Who knew you didn’t need anything more than your gin & tonic or vodka & tonic and a black lightbulb to be super Halloweenie!
Maraschino cherries My youngest son loves maraschino cherries, and I try to keep them in stock for him. However, I was recently informed that I bought the “wrong” cherries. Apparently I bought salad cherries, rather than maraschino cherries, I didn’t know there were salad cherries, what kind of salad would you put cherries in? Anyway, according to Jude, these cherries are the smaller cousin of maraschino cherries, and I should not buy them. Just thought I’d share ...
