Auntie Fae's Sugar Cookies - or - How to Kill a Diet
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt

Mix all well and chill 3 hours or overnight.
Form into walnut-size balls. Place on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle with pixie dust under a full moon.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.
[If you don't like Molasses you can substitute Karo, or maple, syrup]

Note on Pixie dust:
Any sweet powder will do. My Grandkids wanted me to use a sour stix one time. I did and THEY liked it. Thinking about the taste still gives me shudders.
For the record, like Snoopy, I can be bought off easily with a plate of warm sugar cookies.

Gosh, I love Paul's sense of symmetry. :)

Last year, we had Katherine's Big Adventure, full of cursing, by a lady who chose not to cower.
This year, we have Calista's Little Adventure, full of counter-cursing, by a Fae who chose not her power.

Last year, we met Atsali, who flew with Katherine and is really stacked.
This year, we met Squee, who "flies" with Calista among the stacks.

Tune in again in a few weeks, and we'll see if this silly symphony of symmetry can be extended to a third or fourth verse!

Silly me, I always assumed she lived on the ground floor, that's where you would expect the entrance to be. Maybe Phix lives on the top floor, the better to swoop down on intruders.

Wonder how many sub-basements the Library has?
The entrance is at the top of the library. Remember, the library is floating. =)

Glad I wasn't the only one. :geek:

Also, count me in the group that has the George of the Jungle theme running through their head right now. Except instead of a tree I envision them crashing into Phix. :shock:

Jives the butler (ringing a bell): "Dinner is served! Horse biscuits, squash bugs, cannibal wafers ..."

Jack Flanders: "Cannibal wafers?!"

Lady Jowles: "Ham and cheese on rye. Jives has a rare and exquisite sense of humor."

I favor Boris as the name of the spider. There is even a theme song to go with it. Boris The Spider by The Who.

I was thinking of the Gruesomes' pet Schneider the Spider :lol: but this little fellow is definitely not gruesome.

Yup... an old favorite of mine (I've still got an original Fourth Tower promo poster somewhere, signed by Meatball Fulton 'way back in the '70s).

They released the whole damn' thing in its original broadcast format a few years ago free in MP3. I keep meaning to get them formatted to put on a USB stick for the next long trip Kate and i take.

Helen might enjoy it, but i'm sure it would drive the grandkids crazy...

The only change this nosy nitpicker :oops: might make, would be to change the last word of the second line from "can" to "may"... or maybe change the phrase to "fae girl may".

Otherwise - bravo!

And if she's attacked by a Capuchin monkey, and zaps it with some sort of light-beam, that would be a fae ray.
