This Is A Crazy Person's Diary

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

J.K Rowling said that her inspiration for Hagrid came from when she was 19  in a pub in the west country and this terrifying looking guy came in with these other biker guys and the only thing he talked to J.K about was how his cabbages were getting on

eeeeee I just saw the post you made of mine and you made me go all flaily like David Mitchell in the Wavy Arms sketch :D

THAT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SKETCHES

(here it is for anyone who is interested. Also you should just do yourself a favor and watch the entire show since it’s one of the most consistently solid sketch shows ever in my opinion)

also that post was brilliant and we should just start a discussion site where we put every character we love into Hogwarts Houses even though about a million of those blogs exist already

(does it ever bum you out that we have no idea how the American/Canadian schools of Wizardry work? Like ostensibly they would be set up in roughly the same way but would they be like prep schools? Like I think there’s supposedly one in Salem but are there others in the US? Does Canada even have it’s own or is it just one school for all of North America? THESE ARE THE THINGS I WANT TO KNOW)

I’m making this into a rebloggable post because I want to kiss Jules right on her beautiful nerd brain

Me: I cried for, like, 30 minutes during the second part of The Deathly Hallows.

My sister: Why?

Me: Well, like... are you sure you want this spoiled?

My sister: Knowing will stress me out less.

Me: Okay. Snape dies and there's this flashback which is super sad and that got me going, but then there's this part... okay, so there's this thing called the Resurrection Stone and it doesn't, like, bring people back from the dead. It brings people's spirits to you. And Harry knows he's gonna die so he uses it and suddenly his mom and dad and Remus and Sirius are there... *I start to get choked up*

My sister: Oh my God, you never cry at things!

Me: *now openly crying* It's just so sad it's the first time he's ever even spoken to his parents and they're there for him when he's about to die.

My sister: *starts to tear up*

Me: Why are you crying?!

My sister: BECAUSE YOU ARE

butterbeer cupcakes
(makes around 18)

for the cupcakes:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon butterscotch schnapps
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup cream soda

For the filling:
5 1/2 ounces butterscotch chips (half an 11 ounce package or a little less than a cup)
1/2 cup heavy cream

For the frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup butterscotch filling
1 tablespoon butterscotch schnapps
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups powdered sugar
Splash of cream soda (as needed)

directions:
1. to make the cupcakes, preheat oven to 350º and line cupcake pans with liners.
2. in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
3. in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. add both sugars and continue beating until well combined. on low speed, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. combine the schnapps and buttermilk. add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the cream soda and buttermilk.
5. mix until just combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full, then bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. cool completely on a wire rack.
6. while the cupcakes are cooling, make the filling by combining the butterscotch chips and heavy cream in a glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water. stir occasionally until combined.
7. remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. transfer to a squeeze bottle and fill each cupcake just until the filling comes to the top.
8. to make the frosting, cream the butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the butterscotch filling, schnapps and salt and beat until well combined.
9. on low speed, beat in the powdered sugar one cup at a time until desired consistency is reached. Add cream soda as needed to thin the frosting.
10. frost cupcakes and drizzle with remaining syrup.

enjoy!
