Pretty sure witchcraft was pretty much just women brewing beer, which was a thing mainly women did back in the day: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/bubbling-brews-broomsticks-021539
They happened to wear pointy witch-like hats and employ children to do some of the labor too.
Maybe because Becky keeps adding poison?
- Christ, what an asshole.
They say it's men vs. women, I say it's Weber grill vs. cauldron.
Where does one get a cauldron, anyway? Is there a cauldron guy? Who has a cauldron guy?
- Oddly, my church has a cauldron. It has been used at fall festivals to cook giant amounts of chili over open flames doors.
  I believe it was bought at a farm auction.
- I'm not sure ifyou're serious, but Townsends sell cookware that is very similar to a cauldron: https://www.townsends.us/collections/pots-pans
  
  I was joking. Those are pretty cool, but I meant the big old stereotypical type like in the cartoon. That's Hansel and Gretel capacity right there.
- My parents have a couple to make Mexican Carnitas and other things for parties. You can get them from mexican stores(usually in bigger cities) or something like the swap meet in Las Vegas.
I love that this conversation is taking place between the school librarian and the substitute teachers
See here Becky, nobody calls boiling soup "barbequing". When I come outside to boil some stew we'll call it witchcraft, savvy?
What barbecuing?
