Redlands is one of our favorite areas to visit. Especially on a sunny crisp SoCal day. One of those charming downtown areas that take you back to the early days of California. The town is full of charming historic Victorian Houses, Brick and Mortar buildings and is known to be full of HAUNTINGS.

This episode we're talking all things REDLANDS and what we did in one afternoon.

Inland Empress *inspired by a Sunrise Gin & Juice by foodtalkdaily.com
2 oz Empress 1908 gin
4-6 oz FRESH Orange Juice (we stock up at the Etiwanda Historical Society during their orange sale)
1 oz Grenadine ( HOMEMADE preferred reduce equal parts pomegranate juice and sugar)

Depending on your cocktail glass use less or more orange juice. Over ice pour gin, orange juice and grenadine to create a layer effect. Garnish with an orange slice or maraschino cherry. Stir before drinking if desired.

We decided on this cocktail for an interview we did with I.E. Alive but put a San Bernardino twist on it. The purple gin is in ode to our hometown Rancho Cucamonga's grape logo and the orange juice from fresh oranges because the I. E. was once known as the ORANGE EMPIRE.

Recently, we met up with other Creepy Creators and finally got to meet Psychic Buster. We fully engage in a conversation about mental health, autism, adult ADHD and his current show at Bob Baker's Marionette Theater Hallowe'en Spectacular.

October 10th is not only our birthday but is WORLD MENTAL HEALTH day. October is also ADHD awareness month.

Mental health is important and ADHD is close to our hearts. There is nothing wrong with being Neurodiverse  neurodiverse family/friends in a Neurotypical world can be incredibly challenging.

*Terms such as “neurodiverse” and “neurodivergent” were introduced in the 1990s by autistic sociologist Judy Singer as an alternative to deficit-based language, such as “disorder.” Singer highlighted notable strengths of many individuals in the autistic population that include abilities to focus, recognize patterns, and remember factual information. A “neurodivergent” person refers to a person on the autism spectrum or, more generally, to someone whose brain processes information in a way that is not typical of most individuals. These people may have learning disabilities, attention deficit and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome. Through a neurodiversity lens, such conditions reflect different ways of being that are all normal human experiences.

“Neurodiversity” is usually used to describe a group of neurodivergent individuals, it also refers to all of humankind because everyone has a unique way of processing information.

Fall Mocktail Ginger Fizz
3oz still apple cider
1oz fresh lime juice
6 mint leaves
1tsp apple cider vinegar
pinch powdered cinnamon
3oz ginger ale

Clap mint leaves, and add to apple cider, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, powdered cinnamon then shake over ice. Pour over ice and top with ginger ale. Garnish with mint leaves.

Oh this one has been a long time coming!! We have been reading The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice for what feels like an eternity. Which is rather fitting actually... We discuss this book and why it is important to read if you're watching AMC+ Interview with the Vampire Series. Included in this episode are clips of interviews of Anne discussing Lestat and Gender identity.

We just re-vamped our Virtual Book Club on our website FrolickingChronicles.com to include a monthly pick. I was inspired by my local Horror Fiction Book Club she just found at Barnes and Noble in Huntington Beach.  T*

Where to watch the show:
AMC+  HBO MAX

If you're a fan of the show have you seen our Reaction Videos on YouTube? Our Anne Rice playlist can also be found on our channel.

Happy Autumn Equinox, the day of the year when day and night have equal amounts of time. It is a time to reflect, be grateful and find balance.

In this episode we're talking Mabon (Son of Mother).
How to celebrate it? Food, flowers, and traditions. Wait? Have we already been doing these things and we just didn't know it?

Oh and how about the perfect FALL book read for witches? SLEWFOOT by Brom is a Colonial New England folklore tale that is sure to intrigue you.

So light a candle and speak your thoughts of gratefulness it's Mabon time.

Cocktail
Pumpkin Spice Creme Martini by WitchCraftCocktails.com
1.5 oz Vanilla vodka *I made mine by adding a teaspoon of Trader Joe's vanilla paste to a cup of vodka and letting it sit overnight in the fridge.
.5 oz Armaretto liquor
.5 oz Pumpkin Spice Syrup *HOMEMADE and can be used for coffee or ice cream topping
.25oz half and half

Fill a shaker with ice, add all the ingredients and shake. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or pumpkin spice baton wafer from Trader Joe's. If you go to recipe link you will see you can sub in hazelnut liquor for almond and add cinnamon liquor too. I opted to use almond because that's what I had and left out the cinnamon on purpose.

Ooh have you seen the movie A Haunting in Venice yet?
WE DID! and we must say it is a Cinematic BEAUTY!!  Visually Glorious. Hear what we have to say about it. WARNING, there will be SPOILERS!

AND Roni* shares here experience attending "A SEANCE" at The Olde World Emporium with Adela Lavine and Ghost Watch Paranormal.

Cocktail the Yellowjacket by  *moodymixologist.com

*The Yellowjacket takes those flavors to the next level by replacing some of the honey syrup with the herbal punch of yellow Chartreuse.

• 2 oz gin 
• ½ oz Yellow Chartreuse
• 1 oz lemon juice
• ½ oz honey syrup (recipe in Notes below)

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill it 3/4 with ice.
• Shake until chilled, then strain into a cocktail glass.
• Garnish with a lemon twist.

*Honey syrup is nothing more than a mix of honey and water. There are variations on how much water to use, but a simple honey syrup is just one part honey stirred together with one part water until the honey dissolves. 

Once the honey has been ‘loosened’ by the water, it mixes effortlessly into drinks of all kinds, hot or cold.

It's not quite Fall, in fact we have about 3.5  more weeks of SUMMER.
Although, if you're part of the SPOOKY COMMUNITY it starts after JULY 4th. Interestingly enough we attended the Midsummer Scream 2023 Halloween Convention the same weekend The Haunted Mansion movie opened in theaters.

We FINALLY both watched the movie after attending the Midsummer Scream 2023 The Haunted Mansion panel a couple weekends ago in Long Beach, CA.

We were pleasantly surprised by some of the Behind The Scenes facts and the respect NOLA (New Orleans, LA) received in the new movie. But did we both like the film? Did it resonate as a family FALL classic for the rest of Eternity? Have you watched the Eddie Murphy 2003 movie? TBH we haven't watched the Muppet Movie one yet.

Welcome to Rancho Cucamonga, CA where we spent our teenage years. For our Season 3 FINALE episode we decided that we needed to pay a nod to our hometown.
We had some bust on this tour but also we had some of the most FUN we've ever had.

We talk about the proper annunciation "CUCA" like in cucumber and reminisce about the old vineyards we would walk through.  So much has changed but the haunts are still the same.

A chilly book to movie to real life drama.
<<Spoiler Alerts>>

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane by Henry Farrell
We finally finished our second book of the 2023 and we're excited to discuss this haunting novel that became our MOST FAVORITE horror movie.

Have you seen the movie? It's an old black and white starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It's FABULOUS! The behind the scenes drama also led to another book Bette & Joan Feud by Shaun Considine
This book led to the FX series FEUD, a must watch after watching the movie.

It feels like forever since we finished reading the book and we will explain why we took a while longer to record this episode during the podcast.
Did we like the book as much as the movie? What led to Jane Hudson being caught?
Do you agree with Tamantha about the social etiquette were missing?

Can we just talk about all things The Last of Us? Have you been watching this HBO MAX series?  It is based on the action-adventure video game from 2013 by Naughty Dog. We admit we've never played the video games. However, our SPECIAL GUEST has.  In fact they're  the reason we anticipated this show coming out.

Welcome Sophia Bowman, YES they are Tamantha's daughter and just happens to be a GAMER! Like the best and biggest  gamer of our children. 

There are many reasons we enjoyed TLOU such as the  Diversity, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and the intense action story telling. Every episode hit a LOVE note and made us question what  would we do if we were in the story.

Roni and I's pronouns are She/her/hers we kinda skipped over the pronoun introduction as we got right into our discussion with Sophia.  Thank you again Sophia for being our guest and expanding our knowledge on TLOU.

Our cocktail is a Strawberry Fizz by BucketListTummy.com

• strawberries
• mint leaves
• sugar
• crushed ice
• vodka (we used gin and Sophia went w/o the booze)
• club soda
• prosecco
• lime juice
• muddler 

Instructions

1. Slice and smash or muddle strawberries in a cup or bowl. Add the mint leaves and sugar. 
2. Add ice, vodka, club soda, prosecco and lime juice to a cocktail mixer and shake. 
3. Garnish with strawberry slices and more mint. Enjoy!

Note: For the episode I muddled fruit and mint in each glass. However, I didn't love mine during the recording of the episode. Was it the gin? or that I left out the LIME by accident. It's what happens when I'm focused on too many things at once i.e. family dinner, podcast set-up and not using recipe or note cards. I ended up re-making the cocktail after we were done recording w/vodka and exactly how recipe said to prepare. It was MAGNIFICENT! - T*

We are NEW fans to the TLOU fandom.

YES! We finally got to explore and investigate a haunted ghost ship. Thank you to Rhonda and Elizabeth for asking us to join the crew.  It's located in San Diego, CA and we definitely had some activity. 

This ship really brought us back to our early Coast Guard seaman days.  It also brings to life a lot of 20,000 leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vern vibes.  You should make a day trip at the very least to explore this maritime museum.  It is historic, grand and all together a sailor's dream.  It has been well kept under the watchful eye of Jim and his staff.

For this episode any RUM drink will do.  We recorded this episode in room 216 of the Horton Grand hotel located in San Diego's Gas Lamp district just before checking out. So no cocktails for us, just a lot of water to stay hydrated.  As our valet said "Always get the LATE checkout." or was it "Happiness is a LATE checkout." We don't disagree, especially for an overnight stay and being up late ghost hunting around the hotel until 2 AM.

So let's get right into it.  What did we hear? What did we see? Who were we with?
If you like this episode consider joining our PATREON channel.  We have a bit more details and BTS for our patrons.

Special THANKS!! to our impromptu guest hosts: Rob Hansen and Elizabeth Toller "Aunt Betsy". Super enjoyed investigating with you!
