Last nights ritual was beautiful as always. L.Deb and K. used the Egyptian pantheon as the theme. I made some mulled cider (left the rum out) to bring for the festivites afterwards. I should of made two bottles, it was gone in a flash. I was pissed though, I ran out of whole cloves and I only had crushed ones. I hope it tasted ok, I didn't even get to try it.
Today is Pudd'ns first day of school in his new class room. It is SO nice not having to drive all the way to Irivne any more, expecailly with gas over $3 now. Pudd'n was kind enough to get up at 3:30 today. Needless to say, I'm dragging butt.
Here's the recipe for Mulled Cider if you would like to make some for Mabon or any other fall festivity you may have planned.

1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp whole all spice
1 tsp whole cloves
1/4 tsp salt
dash nutmeg
3 cinnamon sticks
2 qts apple CIDER (NOT juice)

Combine all ingriedents into a sauce pan. Bring to boil, cover, lower heat and simmer for 20 min. Can be served with a generous amount of rum in your cup.
