I’ve been wanting to share this for awhile.

Printed 25+ years back, in the Charlottetown Guardian (I’m assuming – this would be the paper mom was getting back then), is this recipe from the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. I have not yet tried making this, but it seems easy enough.

The recipe sounds pretty hardcore and I am very tempted to try it, even though my tolerance for hot and spicy is pathetically low. What I love most about the clipping is that mom kept it. It’s such an odd mash-up of her June Cleaver-like passion for saving recipes, and her love of rock and roll. I also love, purely from a printing standpoint, this as an example of the good old days of newsprint. Empty spot – write something in by hand. It’s a funky contrast to today’s paper – even free weeklies don’t print anything that hasn’t been washed through a 8 computers first.

And I love that I’m able to share it – how many copies of this do you figure still exist out there?
