Please join our table - "Halloween Witchy Foods and Treats"

Halloween again! Although we have downsized quite a bit on our decorations and parties, we still get a big kick out of Halloween. I consider myself a professional one-day-a-year witch. I call all of our kids and grandkids and give them a telephone cackle that seems to jump right out of the phone and grab them. I do get a few boos and pranks sent my way too. When our kids were little we had the whole neighborhood coming to our house and lining up in the driveway to see what the witch was up to that year. Maybe a magic brew smoking in a kettle, an old bench with jars of gooey brains, worms or guts as well as cartons of fingernails and such. Magic was in the air. I even had a dummy mummy on the lawn in a chair where the older kids would laugh and say, “Not scary at all, ha ha!” But I had a matching real live mummy in a chair on the porch. When the big kids tried to mess with this mummy too, the mummy jumped out of the chair and the young teen boys jumped out of their skin. I laughed my head off, but not literally. I was the best-dressed witch in Bear Branch and to this day many grown-up kids still call me the witch, a title I’m proud of, but only one day a year. As for witchy foods to eat, I have a book full of them, so today I invite you to “Please Join Our Table” and enjoy the ghoulish goodies as we make Halloween witchy foods and treats.
