I knew that one of the videos in this year's Halloween Video Advent Calendar had to be a recipe video.
But once I started down the path of creating a video-a-day, I realized the monumental task I had ahead and that some of the 'big ideas' would have to be scaled down or tabled for the future.
This particular day, I perused my local grocery store and found a Pumpkin Spice Protein drink which I purchased for the novelty alone. Once home, I thought "Hm... I wonder what this mixed with coffee would taste like?" Poof. A video is born.
You'll get to see my new jack o' lantern mug (purchased at Michael's) at the start. I have been questing for the ultimate Halloween mug knowing that it had to be both a jack o' lantern AND a smaller mug. I don't prefer big mugs. Too much coffee. Gets cold too quick. I like a little mug. This was my ideal size.
You'll also see my prized Martha Stewart glow-in-the-dark apron used as a backdrop. That's right. I've gone from a glow-in-the-dark Misfits skeleton shirt to Martha's apron. I love it. Don't be a hater.
My favorite part of this video was figuring out how to pour the liquid over my iPhone without ruining it. Solution: a clear bowl that fit inside the pan. The phone was underneath the bowl. Poof. Movie magic.
Also: Epluribus Whippum. HA! Finally a joke for Harry Potter fans AND numismatists (coin collectors) alike. -ahem-
The other triumph was fashioning a stencil of the Halloween Thing logo out of cardboard so I could make a logo out of pumpkin spice float on the foam. Achievement unlocked.
Scary font from Remedy 667. They've got great stuff.
