Veil Night Preparations

 October is here! Welcome, fall! The temperatures here have finally dropped a bit, providing some much-needed relief. September was still hot, hot, hot, so this is nice. 

I mentioned earlier that I use astrological dates for sabbat timing, so I technically have until the first week of November to prepare, but I know myself. I'm the boss of me, and that lady runs a LOOSE ship, y'know? Therefore, I shall begin my preparations this weekend. 

I want to do some decluttering and reorganizing in addition to the scrubbing that must be done. I have been eyeing books I haven't opened in ages, wondering if I should list them for sale somewhere. We'll see. It's never easy to part with a book. 

The deep cleaning will have to take place on the weekends when my partner is free to help. One of my dogs has wiry waves and curls, so I already sweep every day. Laundry and dishes are never-ending, as we all know. The kitchen will receive some special attention, as will areas with altar spaces. 

I am going to offer tarot, oracle, and pendulum readings for this season, too. Employment is still spottier than a spotted dick, and I'm in danger of losing my house. I've applied for a couple hundred jobs since losing full-time employment and have only had some part-time contracts come my way. I'm thankful for them, and I gratefully welcome in and loudly call in MORE. 

Anyhell, if you'd like to ask a yes/no question to my pendulum, I'll pull a bonus card for clarification/timing/options/advice. Pendulum + card: $7

                                                          Three-card spread: $10

                                                           Longer spreads: donation

Just before Beltane/Kreotago and Samhain/Veil Night are some of the best times for divination. Find me here: Better Hearths & Cauldrons Facebook

The Cake of My Dreams...Quite Literally!

What's going on? How are you? It's been a while, but I said it would be a while, and boy, I wasn't kidding!

As you know, I've been unemployed, and there haven't been any prospects lately, except for one. I applied for it, and when the time comes, I will focus more energy on it. Until then, I'm trying to get myself motivated to get out of the house sometimes, to CLEAN the house sometimes, and of course, to cook.

All of this non-job having nonsense really helps me screw up my schedule nicely. Sometimes I sleep all day, and sometimes I go for over a day, like right now.

However, I have a very good reason for not being able to sleep well last night/this morning.

Yes, that. I couldn't sleep because of cake. No, I didn't want to stay up all night eating the cake. It didn't exist yesterday, you see. No, I was unable to sleep because I could not stop thinking about making a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. 

My dad's favorite combination is yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Taking after him, I am rather fond of it as well. And just creating things in general, as you know. 

But, what has eluded me all these years is THE yellow cake recipe. I haven't used a box mix in probably 15 years, and while I am pretty lousy in the decorating department,

                                                                         (exhibit A)

I am pretty darn good at making them taste nice. 

For many of us, cake is but a vessel for frosting. I'm often the same way, but it's because the cake part is often too dry or crumbly or tasteless or some combination of those. Even recipes that promise to be "Super Moist!" aren't quite what I'm looking for. 

I want moist, yes. I also want fluffy and light. I am looking for texture and flavor that make me think, "Damn, this is good cake! Who made it? Oh, I did! Fuck, yeah!" or something to that effect. Well, I doubt mine is unique amongst yellow cakes; after all, there's nothing truly new under the sun, but it's still a tasty cake, people. 

Oh, and I wanted to decorate it for Halloween because I found candy eyeballs at Walmart this morning. 

Now, on to the recipe for the cake and frosting:

Note: Don't be shocked. Don't be appalled. I'm using Crisco. Yes, Crisco. Trust me. 

Yellow Cake: 

1.     1 c butter-flavored shortening

2.     1 ¾  c sugar

3.     4 eggs plus 2 egg yolks

4.     1 tsp. salt

5.     1 T. baking powder

6.     3 c cake flour

7.     2 c buttermilk

8.     1 tsp vanilla extract

9.     1 tsp imitation butter flavor

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease and flour 2 9-inch round cake pans.

Cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, and then add egg yolks one at a time.

Whisk together salt, baking powder, and flour. Add half of this mixture to the egg mixture. Then add half the buttermilk. Mix in the other half of the dry mixture, and then the rest of the milk. Stir in vanilla and butter flavor.

Pour batter equally into prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until tops are springy and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool on a rack for 10 minutes in the pans. Remove and finish cooling on a wire rack before frosting.

Optional (but you really should do it): Brush cooling cakes with vanilla syrup. Combine 1/3 cup each sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves. Stir in vanilla. Allow to cool a few minutes before drizzling and brushing over the cake. 

Chocolate Frosting: 

4 c powdered sugar

1/2 c  really, really dark unsweetened cocoa powder

1 c butter, softened

½ c  butter-flavored shortening

½  c milk, as needed

2 tsp. vanilla

Pinch of salt

Sift cocoa into a bowl. Add butter and shortening and beat to cream together. Add 1 cup of sugar at a time, alternating with the milk, until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Beat in vanilla and salt.

There you go. Frost those cooled cakes, and maybe stick some candy eyeballs on the finished product. 

Serve on a Halloween dessert plate, if you are so inclined. 

It's Samhain, and...

It's Samhain and...

no pumpkins were carved
no food was prepared
no candles were lit
no costumes were donned
no gravestones were cleaned
no candy was doled out

It's Samhain, and...

I am just horribly, awfully, miserably depressed.

I should've known it would happen. I should've expected the big, black dog. I should've known it would come and sit on my chest and not leave for days. I should've expected to be the failure that I am.

Gee, my ancestors would be so proud. Ha.

Making Preparations

So this is post 667. Not quite as exciting, huh? Well, I'm freakin' excited! Samhain is almost here, and for the first time in a long time, I have what may turn into actual plans!

I've been chatting with one of my friends and making plans in our spare time. I hope to get some good pictures of everything to document it. I hope it all works out. So far, everything feels good.

The tentative schedule:

Friday, Oct. 30 will be the night we make our rosemary remembrance cookies. I may tell the story of the first jack o'lantern to my friends' daughter (I'll make sure it isn't too spooky because she is a fabulous five years old), or we might wait until Saturday. I want to work in some pumpkin pretzels at some point, too. I might have to get up early for that.

Saturday, Oct. 31 will be the day we celebrate. Now, if you look at the actual cross-quarter days, you'll see that Samhain is November 7. Why not celebrate both days? I might!

The cemeteries around here close at 2:00 on Saturdays, so we will have to get our butts up and moving early. The plan is to go clean up any areas that could use some TLC, give the kiddo some more information on what we're doing and why, and leave some offerings. We're also planning a little bit of a picnic, hence the pretzels.

After we have cleaned up a bit and discussed the significance of the day, we can get ready for the evening plans. Food will need to be prepared for the ancestors' potluck/dumb supper.

The evening ritual will be an opportunity to remember not only our deceased loved ones, but also to remember those who don't have anyone else to honor them. Some people are forgotten in sickness and at death. They are alone. I will be one of those people, so it's especially important to show some love, I think. They will all be invited to the supper.

As is traditional, divination will happen later on. I'd like to do some tarot, and I (badly) painted a spirit board:

Those are our tentative plans. It will require a healthy dose of organization, so I'm glad I have help. I wouldn't want to do this alone! Fingers crossed that all goes well, even if it isn't 100% according to plan. 

What are your plans? 

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

This Samhain, I am trying to organize something with my boyfriend and some friends of ours. I hope it works out because I have already started making plans. I'm really excited, but if it doesn't work out, I know I will just feel depressed and do hardly anything at all. Fall asleep on the couch watching horror movies. Eat Reese's til I puke. Who knows.

Anywaayyy... I have some ideas that I thought I would share.

Food (of course): Ancestors' Potluck - The guests and I will supply one or two dishes that loved ones particularly enjoyed or would have enjoyed.

I am going to make fried catfish in honor of my friend Bill, a beef, mushroom, and Guinness pie for some of Martin's relatives, and a lemon ricotta cake that my grandmother and everyone else would have liked.

I am going to make a punch for the little chickpea who is attending. We may have to let her sleep here for a while if we stay up late. She's my friends' kiddo and she is five. She rocks. I will make an apple cider-cranberry juice-ginger ale-orange sorbet punch for her.

Adults get a twist on my hot buttered rum recipe. I might put some caramel in it, and I plan to use some pumpkin pie spice. *gasp* I know! A pumpkin spice hot buttered rum! Do to me what you will. I think it will be delishuz.

If I get a chance, I will make rosemary remembrance cookies with the kiddo and her parental units. I also want to try pumpkin soft pretzels.

Symbolism:

I think I will ask my guests to bring some cheap dollar store decorations like bats, skulls, spiders, witches, etc. I am after a decent-sized plastic skeleton. I want to adorn it with flowers and some "jewels". It will represent the beloved dead and have a spot somewhere. I can set up a table outside and put some food out there.

Ritual-y Stuff:

I don't know about that yet. I don't want to make that decision completely on my own.I'm not that kind of person, usually. I'd rather it be a collection of ideas and traditions. I'd like to toast to the ancestors and share stories. I'll probably cry a lot because that's what I do, but that's okay.

Divination/Tarot, etc. can take place later. We'll figure out what to do with the kiddo later.

If I end up on my own, there is a Tarot thing I plan on doing either way. I will go out by the fire if I can. I'll still make the food, too.

My friend also wants to go to a cemetery and clean some graves out of respect for those who don't have anyone left to do it. I like that idea, and I hope we get to do it. Again, we'll see.

I want to hear about your plans. What are you doing? What are you making? Who are you honoring? Let's get excited about Samhain! The veil is thinning! Hail the beloved dead. :)

EDIT: This is post 666 on this blog. Hehehehehe.

Thinner...

Here it is the middle of September only, and so many of us can already feel the veil getting thinner. It's exciting and I wonder if it's earlier this year than it has been in some years past? Or maybe it's just me being more sensitive due to things like the Mercury retrograde (vomit) and the approach of my period. Who can be sure.

When do you typically notice the veil between the worlds thinning? What are some of the first signs for you? Weird shit happens around here. Things disappear. Strange feelings come and go - not necessarily bad, but definitely the feeling of not being alone. Things disappearing and just fucking up in general makes me think maybe the retrograde is at least partially responsible. It's set to end before the middle of October, I believe.

I need to figure out what to do. Who am I going to remember? How am I going to do it?

I think the most efficient way to do it, and the easiest, is to write down everyone's names. You can write down birthdays and/or the days they passed, as well. I don't really have any photos of anyone; they are at my mom's house. I will write down the names of grandparents and friends who have passed.

I may also include some way of honoring others who are important to me but to whom I am not related or closely acquainted.

As for decorations and such, I made a groovy wreath last year, but my ferrets destroyed it. I guess it's back to square one, there. I am going to set up a small folding table on the porch with the names, some food, candles, booze, and maybe some cigs for anyone who has fond memories of smoking.

As for food, one of the dishes I plan to make is fried catfish. I mentioned that in an earlier blog post, shortly after my friend Bill died so unexpectedly. He was a good ol' Southern gentleman and loved his fried catfish and sweet, sweet tea. So he shall have some. I imagine I'll work some taters 'n' cabbage in there somewhere, too. I'll make a separate post when we get closer.

Let the Countdown Officially Begin!

Yesterday we observed the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.  From here on out, days get shorter.  The temperatures may soar for a few more months, but there will be cooler weather soon.  Even though we are in the middle of summer, my eyes and my heart look to autumn, my favorite season.

Autumn is truly the season of the witch, and although I love cooking dishes using summer's bounty, I look forward to the harvest holidays the most.  Autumn is the time I enjoy most of all, before the biting, bitter cold of winter.  It may seem like the season of dying for some, and I suppose it is, but it is when I come to life.  It is when I feel the strongest connection to the earth, when life turns inward for a season of introspection and inner growth.

Then there is Samhain...Ah, Samhain. Beautiful, wonderful Halloween/Samhain, followed closely by the Day of the Dead.  It's a time of remembrance and feeling a stronger connection with those who have come before.  It is a time to revel in the mysteries of the wise and aged, a time to take their wisdom to heart and put it into practice.  Plus the cobwebs and dust in my house look like decorations!  Ha!

What season do you like best?

J is for Jack O' Lantern

I'm actually EARLY for the Pagan Blog Project this week!  I know, I can't believe it either.  I got inspired.   This week, I decided to do another video post.

Now, there are many versions of the story of the first Jack O' Lantern and the man behind the name.  I decided to tell the version that I first learned when I was around 9 years old.

Also, check out my new YouTube channel introduction!  My boyfriend, the Aussie, provided the music via 4-chamber flute.

And here is the story:

The Samhain Feast

Y'all know me by now.  You know that I celebrate the turning of the wheel in my kitchen.  For me, the best way to celebrate the individual seasons and the bounty provided is to cook that beautiful, wonderful seasonal food and share it with those I love.

My favorite celebration has always been the Samhain celebration.  It's the last harvest holiday, and in my path, the last day of the year.  Some people celebrate on Oct. 31 or Nov. 1, while others' celebrations depend upon the actual day.  I believe Nov. 6 is the day this year.  It varies, and you can look it up online or use your trusty almanac.

Because of our work schedules, my boyfriend and I have chosen Saturday, Nov. 2 this year as the day for our feast of remembrance.  It may just be the two of us, or a friend from work might join us.  Other friends may join us if they can make it up here, but it doesn't look too promising, sadly.

I have written before that I see Samhain as the last day of the old year and the winter solstice/Yule as the first day of the new year.  The time in between is just that - the in-between time.  The veil is still a bit thin, the nights are long and dark, and the earth rests.

This year, instead of an altar (which we never really do, anyway), I think we are just going to write down the names of our beloved dead and post their names at the table.  There will be candles, of course, and possibly some seasonal decorations if I can find time to get them together.  Time is something that is always in short supply.  Plus, I've never been that good at decorating.  Oh, well.  It's the thought that counts, right?

I've been working on some meal plans lately.  As some of you may remember from last year, I eat a vegetarian/possibly slightly vegan diet from just after Samhain until Yule.   I've been planning those meals as well as a list of funeral feasts.    I am working on putting together menus for Samhain and other times of remembrance.

The ideas behind it are to offer a variety of grounding foods and a variety of lighter fare as well.  I was thinking about offering the more grounding foods to the spirits as a way of enticing them to hang out and visit with their living relatives a bit longer, and the lighter foods would be served to the living.  The lighter, less grounding foods for the living would be a way of helping us communicate with those beyond the veil.   Some menus offer grounding foods to the living as well, so as to keep them from being 'swept away', as it were.

This year, I have planned a seasonal feast of grounding foods for the living and the dead.  There are so many wonderful foods associated with this time of year - nuts, apples, pumpkins, root vegetables, pork...The list goes on and on.   I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes, and I always want to serve as much sabbat-appropriate food as possible.

As a result of my menu planning, I expect to spend two days in the kitchen.  I may not be eating meat after Saturday, but my boyfriend will have leftovers to take to work.  I will have some vegetable dishes to take for my lunches, as well.

I have had this menu planned for several months, but I haven't unveiled (ahem) it yet, so here it is:

Persephone's Salad (recipe on this blog somewhere)
Roasted chicken
Pork-stuffed cabbage (gonna use my crock pot for these)
Brussels sprouts gratin
Mixed mushroom saute
Roasted, glazed parsnips and carrots
Roasted potatoes
Buttered poppy seed noodles
Rye rolls with caraway seeds
Chocolate-walnut cake (mostly flourless)

Hello, meat!  Hello, starch!  Yes, it's an enormous feast, especially for only 2-3 living attendees.  A plate will be left out for the ancestors as well.   I believe apple pie moonshine will also make an appearance.

I will post recipes for the parsnips and carrots, the cabbage rolls, and the salad.  The cake recipe comes to me from chow.com, and the rye bread recipe comes to me from the bag of rye flour.

For now, I am off to dream of other Samhain recipes and to enjoy my Sunday.  This week brings a full schedule of teaching, grading, planning, office hours, and getting my boyfriend to and from his job as well (we only have the one car for now).

I hope that you all have a wonderful Samhain celebration, no matter how you observe it.  May your table be full of delicious food and your home full of the love and light of your ancestors and relatives.

Until next time,

Nar

AMC's The Walking Dead

I'm hosting a party on Sunday night for the first episode of season 2 of The Walking Dead. I love, love, love this show. Anyone who knows me knows I'm nuts for zombies.

I'm also going to be testing out four, yes FOUR recipes for my autumn cookbook.

Moroccan-Spiced Honey Chicken
Orange-Butter Broccoli
Persephone's Salad
Butternut Squash Cannelloni

Non-food Crafties

As I've stated before, finding anything that could pass as a Halloween decoration isn't easy to do in a country that doesn't know much about Halloween. Sometimes this works out because if you have time and are creative, you can make some pretty groovy things on your own. I, however, am not terribly artistic or skilled, lack patience and definitely lack the time and organization for larger projects. That and I'm just really, really bad at following directions. Some sort of temporary dyslexia takes over, I swear.

Anyway, a site that I really like is The Anti Craft (www.theanticraft.com). Many of the projects on the site involve knitting, which I cannot do, but there are other projects as well. The archives are grouped together by Sabbats. Scrolling through the Samhain archives, I came across a project that takes cheap, mass-produced badly-painted figurines from the dollar store and turns them into creepy works of art.

Example:



Exhibit A is a badly-painted magnet from a cheap store in town. The picture isn't very good but the lighting kind of sucks. The magnet is stuck to the can of black spray paint that I used to cover the peaches-and-cream flesh of this happy couple on their special day.

A little black spray paint and some ceramic or acrylic paint is all it takes to turn that into this:






Isn't that better? Well, the photograph isn't, but the results are. I started repainting nativity scenes while I was home for the summer and plan to finish the next time I get to the U.S.

My Favorite Curry

I decorated my blog for Halloween. Whaddya think? I've always loved zombie movies. I've been looking for the perfect zombie design for a tattoo and I rather like the zombie pinup style, don't you?

Anyroad, in honor of Halloween, I thought I would share with you a recipe for my very favorite curry. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients

1 small can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1in piece root ginger
2-3 garlic cloves
2-3 mild green chilis
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp yogurt
1 lime (or lemon)
a small bunch of coriander (cilantro) leaves
cooked Basmati rice, to serve

And the ingredient that really gives this recipe pizazz:




AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Get it? My favorite 'Curry'? Tim Curry! *wipes away a tear*
Well, I thought it was funny...

So, the first thing you need to do is catch your Curry. If you go to Los Angeles you stand a pretty good chance of bagging the Curry. Once you have coerced (or forced at gunpoint, whatever) the Curry into the trunk of your car, you must dispatch of it quickly. Curry is like lobster, almost. You really have to have it fresh. I recommend a quick blow to the head.

Next, you will have to wash your Curry. Rinse it well under warm running water. Don't scrub or you'll lose some of the flavor.

After the Curry has been rinsed and patted dry, you will have to shave the Curry. It can be a bit fuzzy, and wiry beard hairs are *not* good eating. Shave the Curry well and give it another quick rinse.

Next, take your sharpest, heaviest cleaver. You will also need your everyday kitchen chainsaw and/or hacksaw to cut the Curry into manageable pieces. I recommend 1 1/2-inch rounds for the arms and slightly larger on the legs. Don't worry about the bones, as they will be easy to remove once the meat is cooked.

As for the torso, I like to save half of it for stock and cut the rest into 2-inch cubes. This will take some time, as the meat will most likely be rather tough. Discard as much of the fat as possible. Save the organ meats for giblet stuffing for Thanksgiving.

Once your Curry is cut into nice cubes, you can begin preparing your sauce.


Finely chop your onion and fry it in a heavy pot for about 10 minutes, until it is soft and slightly golden. Add the garlic.

Grate the ginger or use a food processor. Finely chop the chili, removing the seeds if desired. If the chilis are very hot, you may wish to wear a disposable pair of latex gloves.

Add this mixture to the onions and garlic. Fry for a minute or two, then add the spices and fry for an additional 2 minutes. Don't let the spices stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Tip in the tomatoes and water. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Add your Curry, cover and allow to cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Stir in the yogurt and lime juice and taste for seasoning. Serve over cooked Basmati rice.

*Please note your Curry may taste faintly of Marlboro Reds. This is normal. He would enjoy being served with a full-bodied red wine.

My Halloween Playlist

This list was made at playlist.com. I'd prefer to share the list itself, but I'm not good at figuring out this computer crapola. I sorta had the list over on the right side, but you couldn't see the groovy skin that I picked for it, nor could you see the songs' artists. Instead I am just going to give you a list of the songs themselves, along with the artists. I hate it when websites start playing annoying music when you navigate to the page, so why would I want to do that to someone else?
