The best frosting ever

Cinnamon-honey frosting
1/2 cup soft butter (salted)
1 to 1.25 cups powdered sugar
4 T honey (or a little more?)
1/2 t to 1 T cinnamon (to taste)
1 t vanilla
Mix butter and honey. Beat in vanilla and cinnamon. Beat in powdered sugar until desired texture is reached. Err on the side of less powdered sugar. Add a dash of salt, maybe. Lick your fingers to see how it is. You may want to add more cinnamon. Then lick your fingers again...go ahead, use a spoon. I won't tell.

This is really good on Chocolate Crazy Cake or anything else. I'll do a future post with the final version of the vanilla crazy cake I am currently experimenting on.

Perspective

When all is said and done, setting up Healthcare.gov may cost as much as $600 million, although as of October only $319 million had been spent. In other words you can spend three years and build an entire overpriced website for the cost of two F-35 Joint Strike Fighter airplanes.

That's right, one national website that has enrolled over 7 million people or two airplanes. Frankly I think the website is a better deal even though it cost way more than it should have.
