Cooking Practice

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

So that's twenty vegetables shredded, ten julienned, and twenty chiffonaded. This should make up somewhat for how little I've practiced my cooking since arriving here.

Oh... but I suppose I should do something with all these vegetables I've cut up. Maybe I should have thought of that sooner... I don't know if I have a recipe that can use all of these.

If I just leave some of them out here, they'll most likely attract animals...

...That wouldn't be such a bad thing, would it...?

Couldn't you save 'em for later?

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's true! Though it's hard to keep them fresh for long. I should try to use some of it right away.

[makai-days.livejournal.com]

Can I try some?

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Huh? Sure... though they're just plain vegetables. I've been practicing my cutting techniques, to make sure I get them right next time I prepare dinner.

[promised-return.livejournal.com]

I think it might depend on what kind of animals you attract!

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Hmm... which ones do you think these might attract? I have carrots, celery, spinach...

[promised-return.livejournal.com]

Hm, I don't think the monkeys would be too interested in those, which is good... they might bring people's pets over to see, though!

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Their pets? Ah hah... I hope I don't lure anything over here that can't find its own way home.

[promised-return.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be able to get home! A lot of the animals around here are pretty smart.

*they already attracted one DX*

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Oh! It looks like we meet again.

[meerkatoutcast.livejournal.com]

So we have. What's with the leftovers?

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

These? I was practicing my cutting techniques, to hone my cooking skills. I'm not quite sure what to do with all of this now, though...

Do you - er, your species, that is - eat vegetables like these?

[meerkatoutcast.livejournal.com]

Cutting techniques? I didn't realize there was any skill required to cut things.

Shouldn't be a problem. It's not like you did anything to them but maybe wash them from the looks of 'em.

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not really cooking, exactly. I'm just practicing techniques for cutting vegetables!

But now that I have all of these cut up like this, I feel like I really should make something with them, or else it would be a waste...

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

A stew...? *picking up a book and quickly flipping though it--* Oh, here! I have a few recipes for stew. Maybe I can improvise a little to include a greater variety of vegetables....

[brbwalking.livejournal.com]

Oh, my. You really were busy, Estelle.

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Ah hah... After seeing you working on your cooking, I realized my own skills may be dulling.

[brbwalking.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? This is pretty impressive.

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Is it? I'm glad to have the approval of someone more experienced at this.

[yuriloweeellll.livejournal.com]

Don't know if you should let all those vegetables go to waste.

[insipidpoison.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't plan to!

Though I suppose I did get a little carried away... Not even Repede could eat this many.

[yuriloweeellll.livejournal.com]

Too bad he's not here for us to find out.
