Pillows of Love
It was 2011, the day after my husband’s burial. The exhausting run of hospital visits, sleepless nights, hospice, and the random sandwich in a knotted stomach was over...for now. There was so much sadness, guilt, and worry that I wasn’t sure if I could bear it. There was the stress of making arrangements and stifling my grief while contending with scheduling and finances. A father and a stepdad who could not be in the same room for longer than a few minutes. Corralling my hubby’s family and updating friends. I was nothing short of a hot mess.

A special Invite
One Whole Camel, One whole lamb, Twenty Chickens, Twenty Yams, Sixty Ostrich Eggs, Twelve Kilos of Rice, Stir in the Pine nuts to make it nice! What on Earth are you reciting Broom Haditha? Broom Hilda asked with her bent witch nose’ It’s a spell for a recipe I learned from the witches of Omen! The witches of Omen! Yes Broom Hilda, I received their letter yesterday & they want to have a feast at the next witches council’ Broom Haditha smiled with her crooked nose leaning over her caldron imagining creating the Middle Eastern brew’ I can’t imagine a caldron big enough for a camel! They will have it there, in the middle of the desert, just outside of the city of Ouija will be the feast of the witches council. Am I invited? Of course! Let me read the rest of the recipe’’ Be my guest 🫣 I won’t be feasting on any camel, maybe the mutton🤥 It says to stuff the chickens with the hard boiled eggs & rice’ Stuff the lamb with five of the chickens & rice. Stuff the camel with the lamb, Broil until ready’ Place the camel on a large platter surrounded by remaining baked chickens, Decorate around with pine nuts & Spice with chili pepper & cloves’ Hmmm 🤨 I feel sorry for the camel already🤢 I guess the beast will add water to the recipe that’s stored in his hump🤔 Hehe always making fun Broom Hilda 🤭 Im instructed to bring the dessert 😌 How can you carry on your broom enough for the whole council? I’m thinking about bringing a bag full of candied fish made with Arabic gum & mastic oil’ Oh yes & wrapped in sugar wax paper. 🍬🍬 😊😊Yes the kind that is edible is my idea’ I’m smelling the brewed Arabica coffee already! Heavens to Betsy what shall I wear, I haven’t any desert robes 🤥 Well we still have time to go shopping, I’ve got plenty of fish candy already made cooling in the freezer’ We can wrap them tonight & shop tomorrow’ How long will it take to get there on our brooms? It would take weeks & were to be there in two days, I’ve got an idea on how to speed things up though’ Do tell 😐 Remember that plasma we drank last Halloween 🎃 The goopy stuff! How was that made anyway? We had a seance where the spirit conjured dripped ectoplasm that fell into my punch bowl, I didn’t want to throw it out so I served it with added sugar water’’ Oh my i never would have guessed’ Do you remember how everything started to speed up? Kind of. Well spirits I know like to eat Tara root that makes things go real fast. So we started moving in high speed after drinking! I see, so if we make a plasmatic Tara root brew we can get there in no time! Why not just make a tea ☕️ of Tara root? I tried that but it needs spirit plasma, we’ve got to have a seance! Alright I guess we’ll be burning a lot of candles 🕯️ to make spirit sweat 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️ That’s the right idea, now let’s hurry & wrap the candied fish. After working all nite making the sweets Both sisters fell asleep being so tired. After waking up they realized they only had a short time to conjure up a spirit needed for the plasmatic goop. Haditha set a white tablecloth with the orbital ball for channeling in the center. Hilda dimmed the light & lit candles’ Holding hands Haditha called for a spirit. The room was silent as the candles flickered as the witches concentrated. Spirts! Here me, I call out in need of help.. The wind outside seemed to answer as their was a loud bang in the kitchen. Then there inside the spirit ball was a head! Peering deep into the curved glass the sisters could see the face of a tall being standing high in the desert. You rang? 👁️The sisters looked at each other inquisitively’ Yes! We are two sisters in need of assistance! What is it you require? We are in need of ectoplasm to make our brooms fly faster! Ectoplasm?? I’ve never heard of applying Ectoplasm to a broomstick ! 👁️ It’s not for the broom! It’s for drinking a potion with the substance creating motion’ 👀👀👁️ I don’t excrete Ectoplasm, I am not that type of Spirit’ Oh no, what shall we do? We’re invited to a witches council clear across the continent! I can be your guide. But how do we get there in time? Take these & try them on. The tall Spirit reached through the orb handing two particular corsets that were decorated with applied statuesque miniature figures’ The sisters examined the strange garments’ What can these do? Try them on 👁️

My Go-To Dessert
My Go-To Dessert Peppermint Pudding With the crisp Peppermint chocolate and sweet caramel and cream, I can’t think of a better combination. This dessert is super easy to make and affordable, and is perfect for any occasion. I’ve been making it since I was 12 years old and am still making the exact recipe 17 years later.

What would happen if everyone stop eating meat?
Imagine if a wizard of meatless dining suddenly appeared on Earth and with one wave of a wand wiped away all meat from our shelves— along with any desire to eat it. Farm animals destined for food vanish, whisked away to another planet. What happens in the following days, years, and even millennia? Can we even survive this?

A Gift For Friends And Family
This was an easy choice for the first-anniversary memorial of my mother's death. Family will often give away the deceased person's belongings and everyone knew my mother was an excellent cook and baker. There were always a lot of comments about her pies.

Creamy Cheesy Spinach, Bacon, and Meat Pie
In middle school, we discovered through an unfortunate incident that I have an iron deficiency. For those of you who don't know what lacking in iron feels like, let's just say it's horrible. It's incredible how one vitamin can affect your whole body whether it be good or bad.

I ate my way around Tokyo
I went to Tokyo with my husband for our honeymoon, and it was my first time in Tokyo. We had been to Japan before, but we visited Osaka for his birthday in March. Everyone says that Tokyo is an amazing and bustling capital, and they were right; it felt like a utopia to me.

One Of My Favorites
There was always too much food at any event when growing up. My mom was a great cook as were her four sisters. Desert was their specialty. It was hard to have much desert though as there was always so many other recipes to enjoy before desert.

Manual Coffee Makers
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, and automatic coffee machines are a convenient way to make a cup of coffee at home. However, the manufacturing of automatic machines has a significant environmental impact. Automatic coffee machines are typically made from various plastics and metals, which require a lot of energy to produce. Additionally, the manufacturing process can release harmful pollutants into the environment.

Chasing the ice-cream
When the hot summer sun beat down on our suburban neighborhood, there was one sound that could send my brother and me into a frenzy of excitement: the familiar jingle of the ice cream truck. Its arrival was a promise of sweet, creamy delights, and for me, one flavor reigned supreme - mint chocolate chip.
