Good Morning, Tower - it’s Monday, March 30th, and this is The Fresh Pot of Coffee!

For those of you managing in Muggle towns, it’s trash day. Carry your bagged refuse to the curb and put onone and only one trash sticker. If you’re out of stickers, check the fridge, the Muggle Life Adaptation committee has put extra ones in the Fridge Network.

By tradition, Monday is also Baking Day, so we present one of our favorite recipes: 2 C Quite Warm water 2T yeast 4T honey 4C whole wheat flour stir and let it rise an hour in a protected place (like in a still oven) 1c olive oil 4 T salt enough white flour until it feels right (about 4 cups) knead, rise, punch down, rise, cut into rolls, rest, bake at 400 for 20 mins.

We have a bit of news to share from the weekend: The “Plague of Locusts” trickster, who gained notoriety for releasing 10 thousand insects at a time on unsuspecting villages, has been stopped. It turns out to have been a terrible thaumaturgical accident involving two wizards who were renting space in the same laboratory building. Also, Dorset County sherrif’s department is no longer looking for stolen insects from the Happy Shelters facility.

This weekend saw MINIHAIL falling from the Hampshire skies and wizards and muggles together swept the central market clear by creating a “frozen bounce house” for local kids. They’re the only ones left who aren’t going stir-crazy from the winter weather - you go, children of Hampshire County, we expect excellent videos of you swimming through the stuff!

The Fresh Pot of Coffee is sponsored on Mondays by Mrs. Madrigal’s Magical Knitting Emporium. They make many great tools for the crafty Witch or Wizard, including their famous Patented No-Snag, Self-Knitting Needles Now with Advanced Auto-Tinking Technology!

Thank you for your continued support. We’ll begin our musical day with some classic 20th century crooning… Was he a wizard? Was he not? The world may never know.

He’s Frank Sinatra, I’m GazeboGal, and you’re listening to Radio Ravenclaw on the Wizarding Wireless Network.
