Groovy Tunes, Friday

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante had a ticket to get outta here a little later in the afternoon, but his general grudging 'okay fine you did this for me' respect for Starsmore did not extend to showing up to work early to compensate for leaving early. Sorry. He arrived around the usual time and snagged his favorite guitar out of the display, put on some inspirational tunes...

... and tried to work out some basic Green Day on guitar like he and Starsmore had talked about.

Look, the combination of songs made sense in his head. Probably not in anyone else's.

Community Center Class: Flavors, Food Choices, and Menu Planning

[sharp_as_knives]

"Welcome, everybody." Hannibal waved them at a rather full table to one side. "Please, feel free once the lecture portion of class is over to help yourselves to leftovers from my Halloween party." Which had not, after all, been a reception. "Take some home with you as well, if you like."

He moved back to the front of the class. "For now, however - umami. A savory taste. It's only recently come to be acknowledged in the Western world as a basic taste, hence the loan word from Japanese. Fish, mushrooms, a number of greens, cheeses - all of these have a strong umami taste."

He set out dishes of smoked salmon, a few different cheeses, and some marinated mushrooms.

"Taste these, ask any questions you might have, and get to work on your own umami creations. I'm available should you need help."

Caritas, Friday, Nov. 4

[living_endless]

Didi had been off-island for a few days, accompanying Delirium on one of her adventures.

It had gone well. Or about as well as anything did when Del was involved. (Didi could have done without the half-day they'd spent sifting through a marsh bare-handed to find a trinket Del had dropped, which she insisted was the last relic of a long-forgotten invertebrate civilization that had once thrived on a planet far away.) Anyhow, she was back now, with only a few chicken feathers dotting her wavy cloud of hair to show anything had happened at all. It was a relief to go back to dusting the bottles.
