*Downstairs, after breakfast and dressing and making our beds... A flurry of activity takes place in the common room's kitchen area, two little cats perch themselves rather lazily, waiting to pounce on whatever food falls to the ground.
Bat's claw cole slaw?
Check.
*A handy bat slices the red cabbage, then the red onions, and finally the carrotsticks.
Me, peeling the shells off of some hardboiled eggs: Devilled egg mixture?
Prairie: *Taking the peeled eggs after I count them: Check. *She cuts the eggs in half, scooping out the yolks. Kathy would be so proud of us, using her recipe.
Arroz con pollo?
Rosita: Check, just have to spice and stir the arroz.
(That's rice with chicken, and yummy peas.)
Uncle D? You got your dish ready?
UD: Yes... Southern fright chicken. *Shakes some black hex pepper and voodoo salt onto the chicken pieces before dredging them in a mortuous pit of breadcrumbs.
Okay... The cakey brownies are in the oven and should be finished in a few minutes.
Prairie: Are we going to take it all?
No, just enough for two servings each... That should be enough for our picnic in the park this afternoon. What's left we can then take when we visit the poolhouse in the evening hours.
*Preparations continue as the members of our party hum with the music from MCR, looking forward to their lunch. If anybody else wants to join, just LMK.
