Are those 2 coneheads in Bill Bixby’s unemployment line cooking KERMIT parts??

Winter brew.

I’d rather eat the marshmallows.

LOL!

Don’t forget the sprinkles.

I still wouldn’t try it!

The witches version of hot chocolate?

Wait! You don’t put them in until after you pour into a cup!

Yes! Mini-mallows or sprinkles make everything good just a little bit better. Except caramel. Caramel stands alone at the pinnacle of sweet perfection, in my most humble opinion.

Mini-marshmellows mostly melt minutes after mixing.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. SECOND WITCH: Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. ALL: Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. THIRD WITCH: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew, Gall of goat, and slips of yew Silver’d in the moon’s eclipse, Nose of Turk and Tartar’s lips, Finger of birth-strangled babe Ditch-deliver’d by a drab, Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron, For the ingredients of our cauldron. ALL:

The perfect topping for that concoction.

everything is better with mini marshmallows!

You forgot canary eyelids and hummingbird lips! Gasp!

It’s about time someone tweaked the Bard’s Original Recipe!

It’s a culinary risk but it might taste pretty good

Maybe, just a dollop of whipped cream.

(Been some time since…) Witches Be Loco!

“Macbeth” Act IV, scene I:

First witch: Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.

Second witch: Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.

Third witch: Harpier cries ’Tis time, ’tis time.

First witch: Round about the cauldron go;

In the poison’d entrails throw

Toad, that under cold stone

Days and nights has thirty-one

Swelter’d venom sleeping got,

Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.

All: Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Second witch: Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the cauldron, boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble;

All: Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Third witch: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,

Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf

Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,

Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,

Liver of blaspheming Jew,

Gall of goat, and slips of yew,

Silver’d in the moon’s eclipse,

Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips,

Finger of a birth-strangled babe,

Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,

Make the gruel think and slab;

Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,

For the ingredients of our cauldron.

All: Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Second witch: Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

Obviously GOOD witches.

There aren’t that many applications for mini-marshmallows, but for the few there are – nothing else will do.

And a little fresh nutmeg.

I wanted to try this recipe, but my local supermarket was fresh out of newt eyes and frog toes.
