Oh! Please offend, it's Halloween Time. A season for death, destruction and carnage. We shall cut throats, maim and lame. And the last member standing, shall celebrate Thanksgiving !
Thanks Moose, but those eating days are over. On September 27th, I discovered that I'm 'Gluten Intolerant'. I feel much better cutting-out gluten from food intake, and it's still a chore to adjust to this new way of eating, but physical issues are improving.
When I posted that sandwich picture, I looked five months pregnant without a clue of why. I originally thought that it might be from a change in medications or just age related weight gain. I've lost seven pounds since September 27th and can breath better, all colors in the world are sharper and brighter now.
Being gluten intolerant, means that one is allergic to gluten.

Witches' Brew:
Pretty gruesome stuff, but likely herbs by other names... Names to gross-out the masses, to stop them from practicing magic. Here are some translations:
Eye of Newt - Mustard seed. Toe of Frog - Buttercup. Wool of Bat - Holly Leaves. Tongue of Dog - Hound's tongue. Adders Fork - Adder's tongue. Lizard Leg - Ivy. A Hawk's Heart - Wormwood. Donkey's Foot or Bull's Foot - Coltsfoot. Bear's Foot - Lady's Mantle. Calf's Snout - Snapdragon. Graveyard Dust - Mullein. Sparrow's Tongue - Knotweed.
This is how to get your neighborhood squirrels to carve your pumpkin for Halloween: You'll need some-kind of gouging tool. Some use a power drill, but an icepick or a round file tool will work just as well to puncture a series of small holes in the outer pumpkin skin: Two holes for the eyes, one hole for the nose and several holes in a line for the mouth. The holes will allow the squirrels to savor the pumpkin's-inner-aroma and give the squirrels motivation to gnaw at the punctures until holes are made and then the squirrels unwittingly become artists while only trying to eat. By nature, the outer skin of the pumpkin was created to keep insects from invading and to keep-out disease as well as keeping-out little furry varmints.
Sadly, another Halloween time atrocity. If it isn't bad enough that we endure the knowledge of Planed Parenthood selling baby parts, The Apple Cider Vinegar Industry also exploits humanity. I leave it to you to search the details, I shall not search for such gross information. I can bear no more. Stop the madness, save the mothers.
