Yesterday, I sent my sister to the top of the Hancock (aka where the Dauntless zip line) on a party planning reconnaissance mission. She was an incredible sport...but had to give me a little ish. Would you jump off this? At night?...No? Pansycake. I always say I'm half Dauntless...but looking at that picture, I'm not so sure. I think I'd stay at the bottom with Four. Thankyouverymuch. But Dauntless party planning is a different story. That's all me. The table "cloth" is a piece of galvanized sheet metal I got at Home Depot for $15. I wrote 'Dauntless' on the bottom with a piece of chalk and then repeatedly hammered (and removed) a nail to make the letters. I love how it turned out. The guns are all neon colored water or dart guns from the 99 cent store that I spray painted with matte black spray paint. The knives too - they came in a 'ninja' pack from the 99 cent store. I used metallic chrome spray paint to make the blades look more real and less plastic. Kinda scary how legit they look, right? When I was painting the guns, Munch asked if he could play with them and I told him after the party was over he could have them...but I'm having second thoughts!! I might have to go back and buy him the neon ones again. The ravens are from my Halloween decorations. But you can order them HERE. The shooting targets are from our local gun store and came in a pack of 12 for $5. I cut one up and used it as a doily under the ice bucket...but it's hard to see. What's more Dauntless at a party then straight shots of Anejo Tequila? To complete the look - I bought black shot glasses and Kah Tequila - I thought their Day of the Dead decanter was quite fitting! I made skull and crossbones ice cubes to chill the tequila on and they ended up being one of my favorite parts of this set up! You can get the ice cube tray HERE. The Brave Fearless Dauntless print was made using an image I found on the Divergent Faction Tumblr and modge podging it onto and 8X10 canvas. You can find all five faction images on my Four+Tris pinboard. They were designed by LemadiJane. Her fangirl graphics are swoonworthy. For more decorations/food/sweets I'm planning on 1 Tattoos 2 Dauntless chocolate cake 3 Butter knives to eat the chocolate cake with 4 a bowl of flaming coals 5 mini sliders I'm thinking the Dauntless Faction area will be outside. That way I can have lit flaming coals in the middle of everything. I chose to serve sliders because Tris' first meal after she chooses Dauntless is something very different than what she was used to in Abnegation. In the center of the table is a platter of food I don’t recognize: circular pieces of meat wedged between round bread slices. I pinch one between my fingers, unsure what to make of it. Four nudges me with his elbow. “It’s beef,” he says. “Put this on it.” He passes me a small bowl of red sauce. “You’ve never had a hamburger before?” asks Christina, her eyes wide. – Chapter 7 Cake is also mentioned as an indulgent, Dauntless food, but it seems to always come with a serving of sadness or pain. Tris' mother mentions it at the end of her one and only visit with Tris after the choosing ceremony: At the end of the hallway she turns and says, “Have a piece of cake for me, all right? The chocolate. It’s delicious.” She smiles a strange, twisted smile, and adds, “I love you, you know.” – Chapter 15 Later, when scathing articles are written about her father, Tris leans on her friends: When the first one was released, Christina charmed one of the cooks in the Dauntless kitchens, and he let us try some cake batter. –Chapter 21 And after Tris is attacked by Peter, she mentions he would throw a party if she stopped breathing. Four replies: “Well,” he says, “I would only go if there was cake.” I laugh, and then wince, covering his hand to steady my rib cage. –Chapter 23 I do not think it is a coincidence that always, when cake is mentioned, there is pain. So for Tris, we must have cake! I made these tags and am going to package the chocolate cake as individual slices on paper liners inside cello bags. I'm planning to attach the tags to the top of the cello bags along with these plastic silver, butter knives I found at the 99 cent store. That way, guests can eat the cake right away, or take it home as a favor. (I found this graphic on Pinterest with no original link. If it's yours, let me know so I can give you credit! So cute. I just added the quote at the bottom.) I also made these tattoos. Did you know you can buy temporary tattoo transfer paper on Amazon and use your ink jet printer to make your own? I don't know how I never knew this before, but...life changing. ABNEGATION and CANDOR Party ideas still to come this week! You can purchase all my Divergent Party printables in my SHOP!

A lovely, crumb cookie, infused with tea, perfect for both the angsty, moody teenage ponytail person, the calm father figure, the beautiful big blah or just one kid. Enjoy! Recipe under the cut. 100 g butter or margarine 3 dl (1,3 cups) sugar 1 tesp vanilla sugar (optional. Can also be swapped for some orange zest for example) 2 tbsp tea leaves (since this is a uncle Iroh recipe, I suppose they should be made with ginseng or jasmine tea leaves, but I used a russian black tea. Just personal preference.) 1 dl (0,4 cups) sunflower- och rapeseed oil 1 tsk baking soda 4 dl (1,7 cups) flour Preheat an oven to 150 ºC (300 ºF) (I have a forced air oven) In a pestle or blender, crush the tea whith the sugar and vanilla. Add the margarine and oil and mix. Add the flour and baking soda, knead to a crumbly dough. Shape the dough to small balls (when making cookies, I usually use one of those tools for making balls out of lemons, but I have no idea what that’s called in english, sorry) or a teaspoon. The cookies flaten out in the oven, so don’t place them too close to each other on the baking tray dressed with baking paper. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Simply delicious!

Today's world of "Avatar" food is sizzle crisps; a popular Fire Nation snack often eaten at festivals and events, like the circus, such as the one in "Appa's Lost Days" (ATLA s.2, ep.16). It's said that the taste of sizzle crisps is distinctly bacon-like with the typical Fire Nation hotness. So I decided to make this snack out of for realsies bacon. And then made it like candy. And then added the hotness. So here you go! Fire Nation sizzle crisps, AKA sugared baked bacon, powdered with spices. Of course, you can go as easy or as hard on the spices as you'd like. Fire Nation Sizzle Crisps Ingredients: 1 pkg. Bacon (preferably center cut, normal thickness) 1/2 Cup White Granulated Sugar OR 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar Ground Red Pepper Powder (&/or other spice powder. I like the red pepper + McCormick's Grill Mates Fiery 5 Pepper Seasoning) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking tray (with sides) with foil & place a wire rack onto the tray. Pour the sugar onto a large plate & spread it around & (if using brown sugar) fluff it with a fork. Open the bacon pack & cut all of the bacon in half. Using the fork or your hands, dredge each strip of bacon in the sugar (rub it on if using your hands, esp. good for brown sugar) & shake off any thick clumps. Lay the sugared strips on the wire rack & slide the tray into the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 mins & then carefully flip the strips over & bake for about 15 mins. more or until the bacon is nice & crisp-ish & no longer pink (oven times vary & bacon brands vary too, so keep an eye on it! Don't let the bacon burn!). 2. Remove the tray & let cool about 5 or so mins. The bacon will stiffen a little as it cools. Stack one row of strips together & transfer to a plate or cutting board. Cut into bite-sized pieces & then separate the pieces from one another. Repeat with the remaining bacon strips. Put all of the pieces in a plastic sandwich baggie & sprinkle in some red pepper powder &/or any other spice you'd like. Do this to taste, of course (I suggest adding powder in small amounts)! Seal the baggie & shake to coat the bacon pieces. Serve the spiced bacon pieces in red cupcake liners (this is great if you're having a party or something). If you don't want to cut the bacon into little pieces, simply sprinkle-spice both sides of the uncut bacon strips while they're still on the wire rack. Enjoy!
