16. Festival

[corrinesbell]

I think I know what I'm going to do for this festival now. It's not much...but it's something. Hey, Pearl, you still feel like helping me out?


...Besides...maybe doing this will take my mind off of everything else.

Only toast and mashed potatoes...

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

...Huh. Well, okay, there's still stuff you can do. Guess you can't help me slice things, though...

Hmm. How about helping wash the potatoes off?

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Yes! I can do that!

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Okay. I'll start the rest of it. Here you go. *gives her...the necessary stuff*

...Does that mean you haven't had curry before either?

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Curry? N-no...

Is it good?

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

You can decide for yourself when we're done. ...But first...

*has been slicing pineapple, so she hands her a little piece to try*

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

It doesn't taste like an apple at all!

I... I like it...

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. Don't ask me why they call it a pineapple, it's really different.

*smell of cooking rice starts filling the kitchen*

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

But it's good! *happily washes potatoes*

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Glad you think so.

*throwing stuff together in a pot now*
...It'd take forever to peel those potatoes...maybe I'll just put them in with their skin still on...

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

I... I can peel them...

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

You sure? ...Okay.

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'd be glad to!

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Go ahead, then. I'll help.

*the meat has to cook anyway*

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

I-I can do it!

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

I believe you! It'll just get done faster if we both work on it.

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Okay...

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

*skip a little time*
*Potatoes peeled, and sliced, and everything cooking in the pot except...*

Okay, can you bring over that bowl of pineapple?

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Okay! *brings it over, carefully balancing the bowl*

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Thanks.
...Hang on. Do you think it'd be better to put them in now, so they're warm, or add them on later, so they're cold?

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know... Do they taste good when they're warm?

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

They...uh, taste like warm pineapples...

Hmm. I'll put them on later, cold. It'll be easier. *puts the bowl on the counter* It's about ready to try. Wanna bring me over a couple plates?

Filtered

[hope-of-pandora.livejournal.com]

Okay! *goes to bring over a small stack of plates*

Filtered

[corrinesbell]

Heh, thanks, Pearl.

*makes up a plate of pineapple curry rice for Pearl, and one for herself*

Ready to try it?
