The Witches Are Coming!

 It has been over a month since the last Wednesday Witches meeting... A few of us are meeting today.  Not all could make it.

Anyway, I have to get everything ready.

And with the other hand work on minis...

I couldn't resist cutting the ball for an onion dome on the round rum box. 

did you ever wonder how to cut a level piece off of a Styrofoam ball?

It is really very easy.  Just find a bowl that the ball will fit in to about the level you want to cut and mark it all around with a pen..

Then go find your best serrated bread knife and saw away... Carefully.  You don't want to mess up the knife and you definitely don't want to crack the ball.

I think that the ball is going to have to have a collar at the bottom to sit it up from the box.  Then I have to carve or build the onion top for it.

I am still leaning towards getting rid of the Buddha.  Even more so, after seeing it with the ball on top.

Anyway, I have to go look after the carrots that I have in the oven.  I decided to use the witches for test subjects.  We don't usually serve food like this, but I couldn't resist the rainbow carrots that were already cleaned and ready for cooking. 

I have two friends that can't eat certain things right now, but carrots isn't one of them.  Thus the rainbow.  I mixed them with mushrooms and sprinkled them with garlic, salt and pepper and some fresh rosemary from the back yard.

The timer just went off.  I have to go stir them up.  I got the idea from Foodgawker.com.  They have some pretty good recipes.

Gotta run.

See you tomorrow.
