Howdy! Chilly, cloudy and damp, unusual for WY, but of course someone is moving in next door so it’s raining! Happens every time, Murphy’s at it again. The Prompt today is card. Makes me think of the old saying, “he’s such a card” meaning, clever, funny, etc. so I looked it up and this is the “official” meaning.
“Once upon a midnight dreary…” she chanted over the boiling cauldron. Laughter permeated the classroom as the students nervously contemplated Miss Jones’ intentions.
The teacher of the year award winner wanted to set the mood for Edgar Allen Poe’s famous poetry. It took a lot of extra work these days with such competition from all sides of technology looming in the classroom. Miss Jones excelled in keeping her students interested and was most times successful.
As she had prepared the kettle with dry ice ahead of time and when adding the prepared blood red juices, it smoked, causing an interesting aspect to pique the interest of the sixth graders. Seemingly all knowing, jaded at the age of twelve, even the most nonchalant were fascinated. She had previously placed “the raven” above a high window and other suggestive items were placed strategically around the room.
“As I pondered, weak and weary…” she continued.

I shared an old Vermont cookbook recipe yesterday and one of the ingredients was cloves. If you use the recipe make sure to add the molasses before the dry ingredients, because those instructions were left out.
Crystal cloves must be a fairyland ingredient, but if you ever find any, you might want to add them instead of the boring old brown type. Who knows? Magic may occur!
Since I saw this today, I’m adding it for a chuckle. Wish I had thought of it years ago. Of course I would have needed a $100 dollar bill!😉

Sure, he saw it. He never missed a thing. Well maybe one thing. He leaned on a SF icon, the lamppost, thinking about Joe. He always remembered him especially on nights like these. . .damp, foggy, sounds of foghorns in the harbor.
It was just one of these nights when Joe met her. Sultry, swaying into the bar, eyes wide and dark, blonde hair tangled from the mist. She spotted Joe right off, placing her well formed body too close to his barstool.
The exit sign warned, and Joe should have left, knowing she wasn’t the sort to mess with.

I could not resist making one of my old, and I’m talking OLD recipes. All of my favorite cookbooks and recipes are well worn : )
October, the time of year
To get out warmer gear
And then cuddle up
Make stew to sup
After dinner don’t vacillate
Hot chocolate plain? No, wait
Marshmallows, I contemplate
Sweet and soft on my palate
Add warm muffins on your plate
Perfect for October dates.
