Happy Monday Everyone

Hi everybody, Life is great for me today even though I had some technical difficulites with the school computer but everything is good now. I did a banishing ritual by myself for the first time and after the fifth try it actually came out right. Yeah! One of the cats scratched me last night but as I see she was showing love for me. Can't believe I am actually awake considering I didn't get very much sleep last night. I will post another before the day is out. Blessed be! spiritualandbeyond32

St. Johns Newfoundland

Hi there everybody Since yesterday was Samhain/ Halloween I decided that this is a good place to write about. As stories goes this is one of the haunted places in north america. Plus that there is a number of stores, clubs ( one whole street called George Street that is full of clubs and a festival each year),a huge university called memorial university that has a broad range of programs including nursing and education. It also has a cathedral and awesome restraunts of every kind. Also it has a place called Signal Hill where the first phone sound came from and a lot of entertainment example Theatres and Concerts.

Hope everybody is having an awesome day!

Hi everybody, Can't believe that November is already here and that Christmas and Yule is right around the corner. Samhain/Halloween was good even though the only trick-or-treater was my mans one year old nephew. Each moment that I see him I treasure in my heart. I didnt do my Samhain ritual last night but I have set some goals for myself : Wiccan New Year last night. This includes: Studying and practicing Wicca, celebrating the wiccan sabbats and esbets. I will explain that next Wednesday. I am busy at school right now with one assignment next week and one test tommorow on two chapters. Oh my! Still I will make a point of being on this site daily except for Saturday and Sunday since my laptop is down right now. Well I have to go but much blessings. spiritualandbeyond32

Cockroch Cake ( Non-Vegan)

I saw this cake and wish I could eat it right then and there. Ingredients For the Cake Vegetable-oil cooking spray 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pans 1 cup cake flour (not self-rising) 1 teaspoon baking soda Salt 1 stick plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/3 cups sugar 3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled For the Ganache 2 cups heavy cream 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups chocolate malt balls, coarsely chopped Rubber cockroaches, for garnish (fakebugs.com) Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: Coat two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment, and coat with spray. Dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flours, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. 2. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat in melted chocolate. Divide batter between pans, and smooth tops using an offset spatula. 3. Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in pans set on wire racks for 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks, remove parchment, and let cool completely. 4. Make the ganache: Bring cream to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over chopped chocolates and butter in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and shiny. Let stand until thickened, about 40 minutes. Transfer 1 3/4 cups ganache to a bowl, and fold in malt balls; reserve remaining ganache. 5. Transfer 1 cake to a serving platter (top side up). Spread ganache-malt ball filling on top, and top with remaining cake (top side up). Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Cut a large wedge from cake to serve on another plate. Pour remaining ganache (reheat if necessary) over cake and wedge, and let drip down sides and into cut center of cake. Garnish cake and platter with rubber cockroaches

Happy Samhain!

Sorry for being so long to write a post but I have been busy with College stuff, personal problems, work and life in general. Samhain is the witches new year and we also believe that the veil between the living and the dead is thined so we can talk to our deceased family and friends. I know to some it sounds creepy but I find comfort through that. We also honor the ones that has gone before us on this night. I am spending tonight with my man and my stepcats and will celebrate Samhain together, I can't wait. At school we dressed up, had a cake auction, and just had fun.
