learn about kitchen witchcraft

I actually got the kitchen cleaned from top to bottom. All dishes and pans washed, floor swept and mopped, cupboards wiped down, old food tossed from the fridge and even tackled the grout ick on the bar top.

And I made chicken broth from scratch, froze it in ice cube trays and stored it in freezer bags for future use. Not particularly witchy, but still pretty darn cool.

I also made a pineapple upside down cake from scratch, but it stuck to the bottom and came out in a disgraceful pile. At least it was still tasty. I’m craving lots of fruit, pineapple, oranges, and mangoes especially. I think it’s because they make me think of sunshine, and if I can’t get it from the sky, I’ll just have to eat it.

I’ve had the cookbook for a while now and for one reason or another, just never remember to pull it out and cook something. But I was browsing in the used bookstore and ran across Telesco’s three companion books and snapped them up. So far the Kitchen Witch Companion is a good read and actually makes me want to cook more magically. Can’t wait to get into the Guide to Brews and Potions.

I’ve been pretty lax in the witch department lately and this feels like just the thing to inspire me.
