Busty, Dusty, Rusty and Musty
Are flying lean and mean,
They steal a song from Shelia
A curio from Christine!
Laurie locks her windows
Sarah bars the door,
Pat hides all her crystal
When she hears their broomsticks roar.
They make a stop at Holidays
Those girls sure likes their dishes,
They leave a bowl of Groundhog stew,
Yum, it's so delicious!
"Let's go have a party
With those witches with no teeth,
We'll bring a little present"
And steal Wives with Knives new wreath!
Zoulah and Beaulah are horrified
They think it is so rude,
Those witches have been drinking
And flying while quite stewed!
"Who gives a fig about those two?"
Musty screeches off with glee
"Should we hit The Tablescaper?"
The other three agree!
They mess up all her linens
And steal some of her coats,
Leave to visit Gollum
And shaving cream her goats!
Cindy, Gail and Suzy
Warn Tess, Elaine and Kitty
Linda, La and Gina
See them heading toward the city.
Marsha quickly calls Kathleen
Says they'll be there the next morn,
She plans to welcome them back home
With bowls of candy corn.
Another year of witchy fun
Those four sure caused a scene.
They think you bloggers are the best
Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
That's it for this year! Moving on from Halloween. I hope to do a table next week for Pink Ribbon Month, in honor of all those who who are breast cancer survivors and those who are fighting the battle.
If anyone would like to join me in this , please let me know.
As a little balance to all that candy we are "testing", :)
a delicious salad with brandied apples.
I had it at a restaurant recently, and decided to try and duplicate it.
Baby spinach, cranberries, toasted walnuts, red onion, feta cheese, sauteed pork strips, and apples.
Cut the apples and toss in cinnamon and sugar. Saute them in some butter and add some apricot brandy.
Let them reduce a bit.
Don't leave them too long, you still want them to have a little bite to them. Pour the remaining juice over the top of the pork on the salad. I served it with a raspberry vinaigrette. A nice loaf of crusty bread, and it's dinner!
I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday
