LOL   actually that was my own conclusion.  I think that they were trying to
say that they didn't want concoctions with poisonous and/or dangerous plants,
nor did they want to see "magic" potions entered.  Unfortunately they chose
the wrong terminology.  So I guess I will just have to wait and see if they
make any changes or additions to the wording or if I will just have to skip
entering this year. (sigh)  Oh well, not entering would make my first
Estrella a little less stressful anyway right?
