 Let me just go ahead and be honest with you... We are not big Hocus Pocus fans! Don't get me wrong, we don't dislike it, we just aren't ones that are avid watchers of the movie... We actually JUST watched it for the first time the other night.  Mainly because EVERYONE we know (for the most part, some exaggeration here you guys!) seems to LOVE this movie.  Anyways, not wanting people laughing about me not knowing anything about Hocus Pocus, we ended up watching it. It is a cute movie and by watching it, now I know what my friends are talking about!  When I was given the opportunity to review The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook, I knew I did want to check it out!!!

 Alright, I have heard of Kombucha for quite some time.  I have actually bought a few brands before and I am sorry, but that junk was absolutely disgusting.   I have purchased in cans and bottles, from all different type stores and nope. Nope. NOPE.  Not for me.  I was emailed about KOE Kombucha and thought, why not?!   Then... the wait began.  I actually asked a coworker if she would try it with me, as she was an avid Kombucha drinker and when I didn't like it, she could finish it off.  (Not to mention, it is fun sharing things with my work family!)  She told me make sure it was COLD and NOT TO SHAKE IT.   I was ready to have her try one, but I can't lie, they were calling my name and I was wanting to try one so bad!   The watermelon just looked / sounded so refreshing, so I popped it open.  OH MY - it was SO GOOD!!!   I didn't really even taste any of the vinegary taste that I was warned about....
