For this weeks Photo Challenge, WordPress writes:

A ghostly Valkyrie from Valhall visited the park late one night. Luckily I carried my camera with me.

I had to pray that Odin, the God of all gods, would spare our miserable lives.

So, after being this hectic weekend, are you ready for the recipe?
