  • Ain’t that just the way. This spooky season, Raven and Campbell dive into the unknown and discuss possibly the best piece of media ever (at least to fellow clarinetist/bassoonist, Campbell). Together they read Raven’s future, dissect Dante’s Inferno, and try to find the perfect milkshake name for the 2014 animated, musical mini-series, Over the Garden Wall.

    Where to watch: Hulu, Prime Video

    Pottsfield Shake Recipe (makes more than 1):

    - 5 scoops vanilla ice cream

    - 2-4 oz bourbon

    - 3 tbsp pumpkin puree/pumpkin pie filling

    - 1 tsp maple syrup

    - 1 cup of cubed pumpkin bread (plus more for garnish)

    - Amaretto whipped cream*

    Add ice cream, bourbon, puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin bread into a blender. Blend until combined. Pour milkshake into a glass and top with whipped cream and crumbled pumpkin bread.

    *Add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and Œ cup powdered sugar to a bowl. Beat on low until sugar has dissolved and incorporated into the cream. Increase mixer speed and whip until soft peaks form (5-7 minutes). Pour in 3 tbsp amaretto and mix until stiff peaks form. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Where to watch: Netflix

    Ms. Trunchbull’s Hammered Throw:

    - chocolate cake*

    - 1 cup vodka

    - 1 cup cold whole milk

    - 1 (3.8 oz) package of chocolate pudding mix

    - 1 (8 oz) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed

    Combine vodka, milk, and pudding mix in a large bowl and whisk till smooth. Fold in whipped topping until it is smooth. Highly recommend dividing the mixture up into smaller containers/bowls to set in the freezer for a couple of hours. The vodka is potent in this recipe so feel free to cut down and use more milk (e.g. 0.5 cup vodka, 1.5 cups milk).

    Alternate a layer of cake then pudding in a pint glass until full. Spoons are recommended.

    *Store bought cake is fine but recommend no icing as the pudding will be sweet enough. If baking the cake yourself, add some baileys to the wet ingredients for flavor.

    ***Content Warning: brief discussion of scene containing sexual harassment and intimate partner violence. Time: 41:26 - 43:38***

    Where to watch: Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Movies & TV

    Cobbler Cocktail Recipe:

    -1 lb Fresh fruit of choice

    -2 oz Fresh lemon juice

    -1/3 c Sugar (can be granulated white or brown)

    -Spices to taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cardamom, ginger

    -2 oz Brandy

    -Graham crackers for rim

    Recommended fruits: peach, apple, blueberry, strawberry, cherry, blackberry

    In a bowl, toss the fruit in the sugar, lemon juice, and spices. Add a splash of water to a medium skillet. Transfer fruit mixture to skillet and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until fruit is softened and has released its juices (7-10 min). Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove fruit back to the mixing bowl, leaving the juice in the saucepan.

    While juice cools, prepare graham cracker crumb rim on cocktail glass (recommend tumbler or martini). Once juice is warm to lukewarm, add brandy and stir to fully mix. Recommend juice to brandy ratio of 2:1. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of cooked fruit to the bottom of the glass. Strain drink mixture into glass. Enjoy warm and maybe with a side of ice cream!

    (Chef’s note: If you’d like to enjoy the drink as a cordial to sip, continue cooking the juice in the saucepan after you remove the fruit for 2-3 minutes until it reduces to a syrupy consistency. This creates a rich liqueur quite reminiscent of a pie filling!)

Here's a quick peek at our thoughts on the overall tone of this version versus the 1982 film, turnaround time on internet meme production, and how we would go about kidnapping Annie if we were the fake parents (hint: our way is better).
