The Snack Den

[Firox]

"come back here, you will not win today.... hey carefulz everyone..."
*I grzz playfully, trying to catch one or the other - at times they pull ears, ear-whisker, or nip at tail*
*haven't noticed that ? went to blanket*


*Firox goes with ? with slice of cheesecake and warm milk, noms a slice too watching me trying to catch the energetic young ones... move too fast for me*
"get some energy back"

[?]

night nighy * rest in blanket and sticks tongue out * 

[Firox]

*for now I keeps playing with the young ones*

[?]

* throws a piece of cheesecake from blanket * 

[Firox]

*slice hits mah left cheek, I didn’t noticed, tryingvto still catch the young ones, soon all decide to rest a bit and just play with the bow on my tail*

*i rest on the blanket as the young ones playfully pull and nip on the fur and split tail tips*

[Firox]

*next day*
*i gets up and stretches around*
*the four young ones do so to, and start a new chase as well*
*Fi suggest about making something simple and tasty to eat, how about making chocolate chips cookies, Arval agrees and gets ingredients to make, as I help out*

*First thing that Arval teaches the younger ones is to*
"use the measuring cups to make sure we got the right amount of sugar, and flour, and another smaller pan we melt butter"
*all watch as I do all the work, while the four young ones listen, watch carefully, and nibble some chocolate chips*

[?]

* yawns gently *

[Firox]

*Fi looks over*
“All of us making chocolate chip cookies, even Jyo helping”

*yep I’m doing the heavier mix*

[?]

* watches and smells *   sounds good 

[Firox]

*once almost ready, Arval tells all to drop in the chocolate chips, which everyone does, then lets them know*
“Chips we add last and final mix to spread chips around. don’t forget to add parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray to baking sheet so cookies don’t stick”

*brings the sheet forward, passes each a rounded spoon*
“Add a big rounded scoop, starting from middle going out”
*all do*
“Normally we would have to have oven on, this time we have Firox to help with baking*


*one cookie sheet full, we go to second sheet*

[?]

* keeps relaxing as I lick the spoon  *

[Firox]

*once the three sheets are full, Arval gets Firox up*
"hai there younger bro, can you help us bake?"
*suddenly the four younger ones jump and pounce all over its face, head tuft, and mane saying "please" or "can you" or "Firox" over and over, kind of all four speaking at once*


*I goes out to grab some spring rolls to eat*
*Firox gives a big yawn, it was resting, smiles and tries to catch them... eventually all get on its head tuft, and two on Arval, to watch as Firox bakes one sheet at a time*


*even making ?'s nose twitch, getting Sherrie and Linette up from their sleep as - that fresh baked cookie smell suddenly fills up the entire den, doubles when the other two sheets are baked*


*Arval gets out a cookie cooling rack, explains to the young ones*
"sadly the saddest part of baking cookies, we must let them rest for three minutes in the baking sheet, then five minues in a cooling rack.. cookies are so tender right now and can easily break or crumble if we try to grab them"


*Arval and Firox let the young ones down next to ?*
"for now you five can have fun licking the bowl clean"
*Arval grabs a nice small scoop size dough and puts it on ?'s paws*


*I'm still out grabbing some spring rolls - as Firox, and Arval are moving carefully the cookies to the cooling rack*
*air still full of fresh baked cookies*

[?]

thanks there * plays with it and noms a bit *

[Firox]

*the youngest of all kits, Rose the Vulpix is in the bowl, all others including ? got a nice rounded spoon size, not Vee size spoon but an actual cookie size spoon*


*as I walk in I gives a nice sniff, I sets the box down next to ? and I makes a leap towards the cooling rack... silly moment: Sherrie catches me in mid pounce, holding me in the air just above the cookies, high enough so paws or tail can't reach them, as Arval explains*
"Nah-uh"
*moving a finger-paw*
"Jyo, you know the rules of dessert"
*should make ? and the younger ones ears twitch and give a short giggle*

"the Vees and the younger ones get first pick, then Linette and Sherrie, you know ladies first - then us, there is plenty for all"
*awww, I get set back down next to ?, Sherrie says*
"lets have some spring rolls first before dessert"
*passes ? four of them, each young one two to start with, and big dipping sauce of sweet and sour - then passes all the bigger Eeveelutions four as well, each of us our own dipping sauce*

[?]

* starts to nom happily *
