Cherry Witch Pie

The pale witch tried to scare me

as she flew through the sky.

So I invited her to tea

and baked her into a pie.

-----------------------

I made a classic cherry pie and for a fun Halloween twist, my daughter and I added creepy non-toxic plastic fingers, eyeballs, and rats. Before placing the fingers into the pie, I dipped them in a bit of raspberry preserves to create an "oozing" look. We named it Cherry Witch Pie. It was a fun little way to kick off the month of October.

The Monster Mash

 I have only one song playing on my Virtual Victrola this October evening--- The Monster Mash . The french doors are open to the backyard where the sounds of night crickets and toads serenade me as I drink my San Sebastian Vintner's Red Wine and sort through Halloween boxes filled with decorations. A refreshing autumn night breeze gently creeps in and snoops around my house scaring all the dust bunnies from their hidey holes. My husband is grilling a lemon and garlic(to keep away the vampires, of course) pork loin while sipping on a Shiner Oktoberfest beer. My daughter is sitting outside near the fire from the chiminaya and practicing her times tables. I hope you are enjoying the start of October as much as we are. Let's do the Mash! The Monster Mash! This is my song for you.
