Gothtober Day 31: Bona Bones Closes Out Gothtober 2017

Visit www.gothtober.com and click on DAY 31 to see the VERY LAST DAY of Gothtober 2017 by Bona Bones!
Enjoy this lovingly mellow animated situation where a conjurer fixates on makings that suit the appetite. It’s not just fun to watch, it’s a treat for the ears as well. Wouldn’t it be nice to not open and close the fridge every time you wanted a snack, but just have the power to bring forth a snack from wherever using your powers? Ah, it would be nice, yes it would. Find out more about Bona Bones HERE! 
And that concludes our calendar of options, our artist show-off-a-rama for the Halloween season! Happy Halloween, eat all the candy, chop off all the fingers, and lick all the toads!

Gothtober Day 28: Del Norte’s Tips for Better Living

Visit www.gothtober.com and click on DAY 28 to understand, for better or for worse, what it takes to not totally ruin your Holiday Halloween plans. From not blendering your appendages into a whirly mush or using your ear canal as a pencil sharpener, Del Norte makes a lot of sense. They KNOW what they’re talking about, demonstrated by the uh… limbs and various body parts strewn and placed about this stern PSA!
I’m glad they’ve brought awareness to these issues, I don’t know how we’ve survived this long without these examples! Read up and have a safe time when it’s All Hallow’s Eve, and don’t forget to NOT pickle yer own fingers!!!

Gothtober Day 27: A Recipe from the Kitchen of Yuki Okada

Visit www.gothtober.com and click on DAY 27 to get a rather tasty recipe from Yuki Okada, author and illustrator of Arya Bakes a Pie, which is her website hosting recipes inspired by the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” You can look up recipes by course, OR by house, so for Gothtober, she decided to share with us a recipe from House Stark!
All these recipes have been cooked, tested, written, designed and illustrated by Yuki who is really adept at doing all of the things just listed.
For this particular recipe, she made multiple savory pies and tested the recipe oh… I dunno, like FIVE TIMES to get just the right technique and ingredients! It’s a biggie deep dish pie, you gotta use a springform pan, which is a lil’ advanced, but totally worth it. As the days get shorter and cooler, you’re gonna need a pie like this one to get you through winter because… winter is coming.
