Flying Witch
Halloween Burger
Halloween Burger is a fun way to celebrate.
Ingredients
4 beef burgers
4 slices sliced cheese
4 seeded burger buns, halved
2 tbsp mayonnaise
4 romaine lettuce leaves, halved
Tomato slices
4 sliced pickles or 1 large gherkin, sliced lengthways into 4)
2 tbsp ketchup
8 olives stuffed with pimientos
You can add anything you like, we add bacon.
Some people add guacamole.
Method
Preheat the grill and cook the burgers to pack instructions.
Meanwhile, cut 1 side of each Cheddar slice in a zigzag pattern using the tip of a knife, so you end up with 4 sets of 'teeth'.
Grill the burger buns, cut-side up, for 1 min until golden.
For each burger, spread the mayonnaise on both halves of the bun.
On the bottom half, place a piece of lettuce, tomato, then the burger patty.
Lay a slice of pickle over the top of the patty so it hangs over the edge to resemble a 'tongue'.
Add a jagged slice of cheese, then carefully squeeze some ketchup over the top of the teeth.
Position the top half of the bun at a slight angle so you can see the mouth inside.
Skewer the olives on 8 cocktail sticks and push 2 through the top bun to make the eyes.
Remove the cocktail sticks before eating.
Play around with the ingredients you like and be as creative as you want to be.
If you want to keep it simple, you can do this…

Perception
The Magic of Candles
Candles are scientifically proven to soothe us.
The gentle, mesmerising quality of their light makes them a perfect aid for any relaxation experience.
It’s a candle’s flame that helps to soothe our soul – reducing stress and increasing self-awareness.
The soft illumination helps us to calm down and even achieve a meditative state.
But how does a candle flame help to calm us down and relax our minds?
The low light that comes from a candle is captured by your sight and sent straight to your brain for processing.
Because of our associations with candlelight, the body begins to relax – helping how we feel emotionally and physically.
Some of the perks of feeling more relaxed include more energy, better sleep, enhanced immunity, less pain and a more pleasant personality.
