Eye of Newt Soup

   The girls and I are studying William Shakespeare and today we read a bit of MacBeth.  There are 3 witches in the story that foretell MacBeth's future and also recite a recipe for Eye of Newt Soup.  How perfect for this week!  The recipe that follows is from The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer...

Ingredients:

fingers- tootsie rolls

eye of newt- chocolate chips

Tongue of Dog- red licorice

Owlet's wing- mini marshmallows

Dragon eyes- bubble gum balls

Lizard's leg- pretzel sticks

Tooth of Wolf- candy corn

Scale of Dragon- smarties

Gall of Goat- raisins

Also:

A cup of baboon's blood- Grape juice or cranberry juice (to drink with the Eye of Newt Soup- NOT IN IT!)

Directions:

Read the poem.  When you get to each ingredient, put it in a big pot and stir the "soup" with a big wooden spoon!

Double, Double toil and trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Round about the cauldron go;

In the severed fingers throw.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the cauldron boil and bake;

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 owlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hot broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble,

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,

Witches' mummy, maw and gulf

Of the ravined salt-sea shark,

Gall of goat removed in the dark.

Now drink a cup of baboon's blood,

THen the charm is firm and good.

Have fun with this!  I think we will make our Eye of Newt Soup this afternoon.:D
