The art of realizing meaningful coincidence in the seemingly mundane with mystical or esoteric significance."

The 100th Year Anniversary of the Passing of Harry Houdini is Today?🎩🐇👻🐰

Kind of ironic that today is all about tricks and treats, and stage magicians are really good at tricking people into thinking their illusions are real:-)

How to Celebrate Books For Treats Day?🍬📖🍬📚🍬🧹👻

I'll have to see if I can buy a few copies of 'Hansel and Gretel' to hand out today/tonight;-)
I bought my granddaughter a Bluey Halloween magazine that was at my local supermarket checkout, instead of a book or bag of lollies for this Halloween.
We don't even officially celebrate Halloween over here in Australia, but it is certainly unofficially celebrated over here.
Every October
I guess we all like scary fairy tales at this time of year?
And kids will have to eat something today, if not sweet treats.
Bluey's hometown is in Brisbane, Queensland, which is also my hometown, and I noticed that there is a cockatoo in this magazine, and the cockatoo is the inspiration for the official logo of the 2032 Olympic Games to be held in Brisbane, Australia.
I'll probably be a ghost by then anyway:-)
And while I didn't buy my granddaughter any junk food this Halloween, I did buy chocolates for any annoying kids that come knocking on my front door today or night, threatening to trick me if I don't give them a treat:-)
My doorbell doesn't work, so you'll have to knock today:-)
Happy Halloween:-)

How to Celebrate National Cookbook Month on Haunted Refrigerator Night?🍳📖🤔💭🌲

Working in an
Op Shop you'll find that one of the most frequent categories of books donated are cookbooks.
Well, at least that's what I have found over the years while working in one.
Cookbooks may be good to have around the home when you have families to feed, but not so good when you eat by yourself most nights, or with one other family member that does their own thing when it comes to meals.
Every October
The only cookbook I have on the bookshelf or in the kitchen now is the Norfolk Island Cookery Book, from which I have cooked none of the suggested recipes yet, and probably won't either.
My son gave me this tea towel from his first trip
The main reason I bought the 
Norfolk Island Cookery Book, was because my youngest son had been over to Norfolk Island twice and loved it.
So, the book to me was more of a motivation for me to at some point go to the island.
But my motivation isn't that great anymore, so I'll probably pass the book on to a street library now.
The thing with me when it comes to cooking is that I have set basic recipes that I have cooked over the years of foods I like and tend to stick with those, and when I feel like something different, I get takeaway or eat out ... like tonight.
