“Sometimes…” she said, suddenly feeling defensive. “But I don’t want to.  Sometimes people don’t listen and I forget how to say things anyway! I promise I’m not mean. I won’t bite you. You’re my friend.” She hugged her knees a little bit tighter.

@keilah-h *scrolls back* yep, you were the last

Mel’s eyes got wider with each word Lucy said. She was honestly a bit jealous. “Wow. Only thing that tried eating me was the ground.” She glanced down as if it might try again, and pulled her feet up onto her mushroom, hugging her knees. “I doubt you taste very good. People I’ve bitten before were all salty and gross.”

Mel

“Thanks!” There was still dirt and food stuck in it, and large snarls from falling into the thorns. She grinned from ear to ear, delighted by the compliment.

She tried some tea from her cup, and realized it was lukewarm and not very tasty. She added a few scoops of sugar and stirred. “What kinda cool things have you found while…[Read more]

“Yeah. They’re good.” Mel pushed the tray towards her. She wrinkled her nose at the remaining cucumber sandwich and pushed that back towards her too. She pointed across the table. “Can you pass some of that orange jelly?”

“It’s marmalade.”

“Who?”

Lucy passed the jar over. Mel spread some of the stuff on a cracker and tried i…[Read more]

No worries at all fella’s (and fellies? what is the girl form of fella??) anyways.

I don’t mind if you’d like to tease me, Power, I just get hot blooded when people take shots at my brothers or sister, (or dad or mom, lol) We’re a tight family. lol.

No need to have the brothers punch ya, they don’…[Read more]

Mel grinned and waved her hand in a welcoming gesture. “Then come sit down!” She retrieved a mostly clean cup and saucer from the ground and poured some tea for herself and her friend. Then she loaded her plate up with lemon bars and different kinds of crackers and cheese. Lucy joined her. Between bites, Mel began to tal…[Read more]

Mel the Fearless

“Hehe, milk doesn’t have livers.”

Mel sat down in the middle of the wreckage and set to picking pastry out of her hair. There was a large bruise forming on her chin, but she was smiling. She eyed the bit of food that hadn’t already been smashed or thrown on the floor. “Are you hungry?”

@whalekeeper

(Considering I’ve tried pickled kelp–do not recommend–and eaten deep fried gator {which is quite delicious}, I never called myself normal. Lol.)

What’s some strange foods y’all eat up there?

And while I might have been raised eating some (what other less *ahem* expirenced people think) strange things, considering I have a mother from the Pacific Northwesr, a father raised by Texans outside of Texas, and grew up on the border of Cajun Land…but cheese and jam is not strange. Even normal people eat it.

I love how reading good-ah after Gouda changes the short “oo” to a long “ooooooo”.

@whalekeeper

OHMYWORD—

*Dies laughing*

*Resurrects*

It is good though. Many cheeses pair wonderfully with a sweet jam or fruit preserve. Some people eat cheese with figs…all the more figs to them I guess. Fig preserves however I do enjoy, especially with a soft cheese like Gouda on crackers.

But yes. Gouda is good-ah. And it makes grilled…[Read more]
