When I was a little girl, every winter my Dad would go down in the basement and mix up some concoction that was green and blue crystals in a paper cupcake thingy. Then he would cover each one with wax. Every year he made dozens of these little "wax cupcakes".

With our fire lit, he would no sooner throw one of these cupcakes in the fire when the flames would be all the colours of the rainbow. It was really neat.

Barkeep: May I please have a warm Grand Marnier? That will soothe my soul. Not a very good week at w-u-r-k. (no, I didn't mess up again....)
