Halloween in
the Kitchen

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble. . . .

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

—William Shakespeare,
“Macbeth”
