Quest 289

--rat it all, I did it again, didn't I. Honestly, every Giving-Thanks--but really, I didn't think we'd end up with this much...

[Mumble mumble.]

...uppose I can always wrap some of it up and give it to the Welcome Center, and just keep some of it for ourselves, and--oh, bother, this was always much easier when I could count on Sam to finish off all the...

[Mumble mumble mumble.]

...umpkin, one whole apple, half of cherry, one and half again of custard. I wonder why the custard didn't go very well? It tasted all right to me...hmm. And then there's half a turkey still, and the cranberry sauce--and I still haven't looked at the ceiling, thank you--and bowls and things of the potatoes and dressing and goodness, all the cookies, and--oh, when did this turn on?

[A pause.]

Er...well, um, since this is already on, I suppose I might as well ask, really: if anyone would like some, er, leftover baked things from Gi--from Thanksgiving, please do let me know, won't you? Because really, I'd be more than happy to oblige.


[OOC: So Rosella likes big Thanksgiving dinners. Rosella also has an unfortunate tendency to bake up a storm when she's stressed out. Put the two together and what do you get? A veritable mountain of leftovers. >> Please take some. Please.

Also, for those interested, my HMD thread is here!]

JELLO DISASTERS: TONIGHT ON CHANNEL SEVEN ACTION NEWS

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Good, I'm so glad. Things are a bit lonelier now than they used to be, with Sam and Penny and so many people gone...but it's still just as nice to spend time together with all of us who are left, isn't it? And I'm glad for that, too.

SHOPPING LIST: JELLO, PEAS, TOMATO, COTTAGE CHEESE, LIMES, CARROTS....

[had_not_lived]

It's all the more important, I think.

I have a lot to be thankful for here, even if I wasn't cursed to go on about it yesterday, so I think... well, it's a good holiday to celebrate, especially with friends.

ONE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE BOWL...

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, there was that curse yesterday, wasn't there? It comes around at about this time every year, really, and I do rather like it. I wasn't cursed yesterday, either, but it's still one of the nicer ones to have, I think.

Oh Rosella won't you feel accomplished and modern, making '50s monstrosities?

[had_not_lived]

It's... well, not much of an interference, and certainly appropriate. I was grateful anyway. Just quietly.

Convince her to do it in a poodle skirt and bobby socks.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that's all the better, really. It's all well and good to be thankful, but so much the better when we don't need a curse to do it.

somehow that seems a little unlikely but |D we can dreeeam

[had_not_lived]

Maybe being cursed showed a few people what they do have, here. I hope so.

and we can make the rest a REALITY aww yeah

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I hope so too.

it will be amazing.

[had_not_lived]

It's too bad all the pies won't keep until Christmas, or you'd be able to save yourself some work.

Amazing and gelatinous.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It is, a bit, but I honestly don't mind the work, really? Oh, things do always get a bit harried near the end, what with the running all around and the baking up a storm and whatnot, but I really do like doing it, all the mixing and measuring and rolling and things. It gives me something to occupy myself with when I need to think.

I'm so glad I have a character to indulge my morbid fascination with jello salads.

[had_not_lived]

Then we'll just have to keep finding people to eat what you make, I suppose.

I'm so glad I can help to faciliate this forthcoming travesty.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I don't think it'll be very hard, really. Most people seem to like the thought of free baked goods, and little wonder!

[had_not_lived]

I almost think you ought to open a bakery of your own.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Do you think so? I don't know if I'd be very good at it, though. I do like the baking part of it, but I think I'd be a bit tempted to just give all of it away, rather than letting my customers pay for anything. It's not as though I really need the money, after all.

[had_not_lived]

You could bake regularly for the Welcome Center then, I bet.

Or give things away at the Library? Well, maybe not; it'd make a mess of the books...

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I think that's a fine idea, really! Especially with the holidays coming; this is one of the worst times of the year to end up in the City, what with things being so cold and not knowing anyone when one first arrives. So perhaps some nice baked things waiting in the Welcome Center would help to cheer things up a bit, don't you think?

[had_not_lived]

It would certainly make newcomers feel more welcome.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps that's just what I'll do.
