With Sorelle Sucere: Blessed Samhain!!!...

Yes...

AND, --- while you are being MAGICAL >>> This is what you should do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men ... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem. --- Walt Whitman

Blessed Samhain!!!...

>>>

My Typical Samhain Feast... Truly a FEAST, ~ none of this little holiday dinner la-da-da, where only only main dish like turkey is made!... My menu, ~ pot roast with carrots, onions, potatoes, and turnips ( I make mine in the crockpot with burgundy wine and fresh basil, fresh dill and fresh oregano), lasagna, mac & cheese, mushroom, vegs & sausage pizza (frozen from the grocer), tossed salad (with lots of black olives), carrot & raisin salad (because it's black and orange), garlic stuffed olives, deviled eggs, baked sweet potatoes (because vegs that grow underground are traditional for Samhain), stewed apples (because apples are scared to the Lady, and there are always fresh apples at the Samhain Feast too), garlic bread, pumpernickel bread (because it's black) with cream cheese, chocolate cake and/or dark fudge brownies with chocolate chips, blackberry pie (because it's black and because of the fey, especially the Samhain Phooka, of course; he just loves blackberries!!!), apple cider and/or ginger ale and root beer for the kids, red and rose wine and ale for the adults. Yes, I would be cooking for days!!!... So worth it!!!
