Oogie Boogie, also known as Booga, passed away recently at the age of 13 1/2. She was the special mascot of this site. No-one ever loved my cooking more than Oogie, and she would watch over every recipe, enjoying her duties in the kitchen. Oogie suffered some of the maladies of her mixed heritage, including diabetes and pancreatitis. Despite her physical problems, Oogie loved life with great gusto. Good-bye, dear Oogie Boogie! We will love you forever!
