FROM THE CAVE OF RUSTY POTTS
Rusty Potts: “How did Orphie become sheriff y'all ask? Well that’s ah darn tootin’ good question. Seems she took on the role herself after the town of Nicklesworth was littered with outlaws. This was primarily to do with the Fire Ant Gang and the old sheriff had not much to say in the matter considerin' he was three feet under...”
Jenny the Donkey: “Don't you mean six feet under?”
Rusty: “I know what I say, I know what I mean. It was only three feet cause the sheriff only had three feet to stand on!
Jenny: “That’s true.”

Pyridines’ Recipe (for disaster)
Do not try these at home, unless you use a fully licensed cauldron
Carrion Fly Cake
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of wasp butter
7 Snake egg yolks
1 3/4 cups Blister beetle milk
1 porcelain doll
Beat eggs until deathly pale. In a large bowl throw in wasp butter and doll. Blend in snake eggs and stir aggressively until it stings. Pour mixture into pan. Bake for 30 minutes, until doll legs pop up in defeat. Leave out to cool for several days. Carrion flies will attract and garnish the cake. Eat when fully swarmed.
Carri the Carrion fly says it delicious, even the second time around.
