I don’t know if you can get to it, but there’s a Korean ‘Iron Chef’ style show that’s totally over the top called Culinary Class Wars…if you like that kind of show, you’d dig it.

A witch inscribes a magic circle before casting a spell. Painting by John William Waterhouse.

"Speaking of livers," the Unicorn said. "Real magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back. The true witches know that."
- Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"

Its a long distance from one of my friends who used to always be proud of the cowshit dust in his Carhartt overalls pockets even after he moved to the burbs.

A page in the front of the book reading: 
TO THE HESITATING PURCHASER…explaining the adventuring pirating sea fairing content of the book.

I was at a local book barn (don’t buy anything) but loved this page in a ~1901 edition of RL Stevenson’s Treasure Island.

Quit feeding the impotent troll y’all. He’s got a bunch of accounts with no followers and lists that only he looks at. The only attention he gets in from you. Last I’ll say of it.

Phouka, the
326
Phouka (pooka), the. The Irish word "Phouka' is sometimes used, as
'Pouk", or PUCK, was in Middle English, for the Devil. More usually he is a kind of BOGY OR BOGEY-BEAST, something like the Picktree BRAG of the North of England, who takes various forms, most usually a horse, but also an eagle or a bat, and is responsible for people falling as well.
Many a wild ride has been suffered on the Phouka's back. It is he who spoils the blackberries after Michaelmas. This is Crofton CROKER's view of him. According to Lady WILDE, however, he was nearer to the
BROWNIE OF HOBGOBLIN. There is a charming story, "Fairy Help', in her Ancient Legends of Ireland in which a young boy, a miller's son, makes friends with Phouka and throws his coat over it as it rushes like a mad bull towards him. Afterwards he sees the Phouka directing six younger ones to thrash his father's corn while the miller's men are
asleep. In this form the Phouka is like an old withered man dressed in rags. The boy tells his father and together they watch the phoukas at work through the crack of the door. After this the miller dismisses his men, and all the work of the mill is done by the phoukas. The mill became very prosperous. The boy Phadrig became very fond of the Phouka and night after night he watched him through the keyhole of an empty chest. He became more and more sorry for the Phouka, so old and frail and ragged, and working so hard to keep the idle little phoukas up to their york. At length, out of pure love and gratitude, he bought stuff and had a beautiful coat and breeches made for the Phouka, and laid them out for him to find. The Phouka was delighted with them, but decided that he was too fine to work any more. When he left all the little phoukas ran away, but the mill kept its prosperity, and when Phadrig married a beautiful bride he found a gold cup full of wine on the bridal table. He was sure it came from the Phouka and drank it without fear, and made his bride drink too.

A bottle of Spirytus Rektyfikowany 192 proof vodka.

Thank you! I’ve used this for heftier medicinal things but it needs to be watered to be potable at 192 proof. This is what I use for elderflower…

It was great…around here it’s usually just breaded and fried. This had more finesse.

We do some infusions (rosemary, etc) with vodka & usually use Tito’s…but they’re T——/GOP supporters. Any other reasonably priced option that doesn’t suck?

Give yourself some grace…all parties here are still trying to figure it out and there is no map or one-size-fits-all rule book.
