Here’s the recipe. Just pour out and mix together…
7 oz cinnamon, 7 oz baking powder, 4 oz black pepper, 2 oz garam masala, 1 oz cumin, 1 oz nutmeg, 1 oz cream of tartar, 1 oz coriander, 2 oz chili powder, dash of white pepper.
Now, I would have probably mixed it in a bowl, instead of on the floor, but I digress…Submitted by: Steve
I did this as a toddler in the middle of the night!
Apparently when my mother found me and my brother at 4am making a “floor cake” we were smoothing the top with the back of a spoon looking very proud of what we’d done…
Reblog/reply if you’ve made a floor cake too, or you’ve had kids who have made one.

If you haven’t been introduced to my project mathKeys yet, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Here’s the run-down: imagine being able to use certain Greek letters (like α, β, π, λ, δ, μ, σ) and certain math symbols (like ∑, ∏, ∂, ∫, ×) just as you would use !, #, $, %, and @.
Working with a Word document but don’t want to go through the pain of adding a symbol? No problem!
Taking notes on your laptop (eco-friendly ftw) or writing an email to a professor or a colleague and need to use that beautiful infinity? Alt + Ctrl + 8 = ∞
It’s Windows only for now (sorry, Mac users) but I plan on making it available for Mac and Linux (New Ubuntu released, did you know?) later on. Did I mention it’s totally free and all the instructions for set-up and usage are completely detailed at its homepage?
With love,
Live long and prosper,

You can access some symbols using opt-letter. Some examples are:
∑, π, ∆,˚, Ω, ≈, √, ∫, µ, ≤, ≥, ÷, ∞, ≠, ±
Most of these are rather sensibly placed eg ÷ is opt-/ and ≤ is opt-,. Some are odder eg ∑ is opt-w. Have a play.

I really like this bedspread, but for a massive sofa blanket, all snuggled in. Also, anything with elephants gets voted up in my book…

Tiny plastic fibers, each with a diameter of 250 nanometers, spontaneously wrapped around a plastic ball when they were immersed in an evaporating liquid, demonstrating a new way of controlling the self-assembly of polymer hairs. The image was produced with a scanning electronic microscope and was digitally enhanced for color.
