Blessed Beltane!

A very merry May Day to you all. What's cooking in your kitchens? I am toying with the idea of making empanadas today (using store bought crust because I'm also feeling a trifle lazy today!). I also plan to start picking up things for the giveaway.

The winner will be chosen randomly, probably by one of my coworkers, on May 11. The winner will be announced that day. Good luck to all the entrants! I want to pick up some things in Taksim but I don't dare go there today. Today is the first legal Labor Day celebration in 32 years. Last year there were riots, tear gas, the whole enchilada. I'm expecting something similar to still go down, even though people are allowed to assemble in Taksim Square again. We shall see.

Oh, and before I forget, I have a question. Do you all want to see what I pick out for the giveaway before it happens, or should I wait? The winner might want to be surprised. What do you all think? Do you want to be surprised, or do you want to see everything beforehand?

Happy Beltane!

Blessed Beltane to you, as well! May you never hunger, never thirst, and never want as long as you live.

I wish you a merry Beltane! Suffering from post-Beltane night headache, somehow I'm not in the right shape at the moment... need coffee. (^v^)

(I think the winner would like to be surprised, therefore being in your place, I would wait with posting until well after the package was sent.)

Blessed Beltane! I wish you enjoy the day and the weekend!

Oh, curious as I am, I would love to see your giveaways treasurs before! But whatever you do it will be okay!

Kisses from us.
