The eggs, or bread sticks if you wish, may pair well with an Italian or Butter sauce. Feel free to add or take out any herbs and spices as you see fit!

Sausage Eggs with Bread Sticks To serve a proper breakfast, one must always provide a side. So, we here at Witch Weekly have provided our readers with not one, but two recipes to make a complete meal at the beginning of the day for your more than deserving family. Sausage Eggs: Ingredients - Four hard boiled eggs One raw egg Half a pound of sausage Three ounces of breadcrumbs Fat for frying Parsley (optional) Boil the eggs hard, place in cold water for a few minutes, then remove the shells completely. Take off any skin from the sausages and divide them into four equal parts. Dust your hands and flatten the sausage meat between your palms, place an egg in one portion, and seal the egg with the meat. Repeat these steps for the other eggs. Take your raw egg and beat it in a separate dish. Brush each sausage covered egg with the beaten egg and fry in very hot fat for four to five minutes or until cooked. Drain and cut the eggs lengthwise, garnish with parsley and serve. The finished product! Bread Sticks: Ingredients - Six rounds of bread Three ounces of bread crumbs One egg One teaspoonful of chopped parsley Salt and pepper to taste Milk Fat or butter for frying Remove the crusts from the bread and divide into neat pieces. Moisten the pieces with milk, beat an egg in a separate dish, and add it to the sweet herbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Dip the pieces of soaked bread into the mixture, roll them in bread crumbs, and fry in hot fat or butter until browned. Serve as is or with chopped tomatoes, fried onions, or mushrooms.

"There is no such thing as a ridiculous request! Every request is a piece of the customer and as such becomes an important part of the design!"

The Woman Behind The Fashion House: Miss Anastasia Pince Behind every great man there is, almost always, an equally great woman and this is certainly true of the House of Lytton, the fashion house which has taken the world of magical fashion by storm. Miss Anastasia Pince, thirty-three, is the designer behind many of the fashion house’s more elaborate designs, and her services have been sought out by many of the wizarding world’s most illustrious members. A former Hufflepuff, Miss Pince first began her career in fashion upon graduating from Hogwarts as a shop girl in a dress shop in Diagon Alley; she quickly moved on to bigger and better things, her talent impressing Mr. Lytton himself and resulting in a personal invitation to join the House of Lytton as one of it’s premier designers upon its establishment in 1885. We were thrilled to sit down with Miss Pince recently and ask her a few questions, and she certainly did not disappoint us with her choice of garment; during the course of her interview, Miss Pince’s lovely yellow gown began to sprout daisies! Miss. Anastasia Pince When did you first become interested in fashion? I really became interested in it when my sister left for school. I wasn't fond of being left at home and so I turned my attentions to embroidery and sewing. That was also the same year that I decided I would only go by Stasia. Clearly that has stuck. What is it about fashion design that you love so much? I love the creativity behind it. You can really just have fun and let that excitement I feel come out in my designs. Do you have a gown you have designed that you are particularly fond of? I don't think that I have one in particular that I'm fond of, I really enjoy every design I do. My latest though was what I wore to the St. Valentine's Ball. I know it may not be to the liking of others but I really enjoyed the way the colors shifted and the hearts floated! What is the most ridiculous request you have ever received? Oh dear, there is no such thing as a ridiculous request! Every request is a piece of the customer and as such becomes an important part of the design! As such, saying a request is ridiculous is like saying a customer is ridiculous and I truly don't believe any of our customers are ridiculous. Thank you to Miss Pince for her time! We can’t wait to see her future creations featured in our very magazine!
