Homemade Sugar Cookies

We recently purchased a convection oven so we can make our homemade cookies at Cosmic Castle.  I was a little nervous about using the new oven since I've never used one before.  I must say everyone who told me how easy and efficient convection ovens are were.  The only time I felt heat was when I opened the door, and set the hot pan out. 

 The cookies.....turned out absolutely amazing!  They are crispier, and have a more flaky texture than before.  We had a hard time just sampling one or two.  

Come have a cookie or two.  You'll be glad you did. 

Dog with Cheese

Have you ever had a hot dog with cheese sauce?  This isn't a normal menu item, but it kinda is.  This Jumbo Dog was ordered with a squirt of cheese sauce.  Adding something that doesn't already come on an item sometimes cost a little extra.  Cheese sauce is 25 cents for the jumbo and the regular dog.  The monster dog would be a little more since it requires a little more cheese.  We can also top this off with a little onion at no additional charge.

Our Hot dogs are all beef.  The Regular and Jumbo dogs are Nathan's brand hot dogs and our Monster dogs are Farmland brand.

You're invited to our 4th Birthday Party!

Yep that's right we have been in Downtown Parsons for almost 4 years!  We opened on Sunday October 9, 2011 at 3:30pm.  People were lined up at the door waiting on us to open!

We spent 2 months and 2 days painting and building and creating the most fun atmosphere in Parsons.

Here is a glimpse of what the building looked like before we took over.  This was the day after we brought the tables and chairs in.

Here is a view from that balcony you see at the top, looking the opposite direction.

We have added a lot more since that day.  If you want to see our "The Making of Cosmic Castle" photos, they are available on our Facebook Page.  Sometime I will add it to our Google pictures.

We hope you can make it!  We are celebrating on Saturday October 11.  We have cupcakes planned.....and we're still planning.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Dinner

Starting Tuesday, September 30th, our Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup will be available during lunch, and until we run out.  Beginning at 5pm we will also be serving our Homemade Chicken Noodle Dinner.  They will continue every Tuesday until it warms up again.

If you are one of our Facebook Fans, watch our page for a CND Dinner giveaway.  It will be up first thing Tomorrow (Thursday) Morning.  If you're not a fan already we'd love to have you join us there too.

Fruit Ninja and More Games

The last game update I posted was when  Popeye had been repaired.  Since then, we have had Star Wars Racing repaired, Batman Pinball repaired, and have added the Love Machine.  Most recently Fruit Ninja stopped working.  We have ordered a new screen and it has arrived.  We have installed it and are happy that it it working again!

Homemade Tomato Soup

Starting this week.....Wednesday September 24th, we will be serving homemade tomato soup every Wednesday until it gets warm again.  We will start serving it for lunch and will serve it until it is all sold, or 8:30pm, whichever comes first.

Sector 7

What's not to like about the Sector 7?  It is so amazing and chocolaty it should be illegal!  It has been our September special.  It will continue to be available after September, it will become a secret menu item.

All I will say about it is if you like our 6 Feet Under sundae you are sure to like the Sector 7.

April Survey Results

Well it has been a while since I've posted.  May 7th to be exact.  Summer got here and we got busy.  I know, not a good excuse at all, but hey, it's the best I can come up with.

It seems to be a constant struggle to get the word out.  Which social media do most of you hang out on?  How do you prefer to receive notifications?  Back in April  I posted a survey on how you would like to connect.  I never did post the results, and to be quite honest, besides Facebook and Twitter (everything from FB goes to Twitter and Twitter to FB) I haven't done much at all.  The choices for connecting were:

Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Web page/Blog, and E-Mail.  Out of those options, Facebook was on top and Twitter, Web Page/Blog and E-mail, all tied for 2nd.  Google+ came in next to last and Foursquare only had 1 vote, so it was thrown out.

So here is the plan, It's fall, things should start to slow down a little, right?  My goal is to post more here, which will be shared to G+, then share the post to Fcebook or Twitter, which will share to the other.  E-mail will have to wait for now.

Since Facebook has made so many changes, it's harder to get the word out.  They want us to pay to promote our posts, which isn't as effective as you might think.  We have tried that before, and didn't see much of a positive effect.

Do you have any other suggestions on ways to connect?
