A little White Candle Light, on a Halloween evening, never goes amiss

[Siwsan]

I am strongly rooted in the old beliefs, and tonight the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. I want anyone who might choose to visit to know they are welcome.

1. That is a lovely tradition, my dear Siwsan!

I have a good friend who feels as you do, and I admire her beliefs. As I do yours!



It's a lovely photo.

2. Every year I carve a turnip, but this year I ate it.

https://makezine.com/2010/10/18/how-to_carve_a_turnip-o-lanter/ Google turnip jack o lanterns then check out the images. I find them scarier than any pumpkin jack o lantern.

Turnip and bacon smash was the dish I made from the turnip.


An example of one of the spookiest turnip jack o lanterns.

3. I use turnip in Shepard's Pie and, of course, with Haggis

Now I think I might have to try it mashed with bacon!

And the carved turnip DEFINITELY has far more scare factor than almost any carved pumpkin.

4. Add garlic and butter.

It was good but a bit too rich for me.

The turnip JoL looks more primitive.
