[Firox]

*Arval can see all around, welcomes them*
*then notices that ? arrived as well*
Arval: "welcome Vees, welcome ? - something I prepared, something I love eating, not just bacon, some thing where i grew up from, not sure if anyone know it... let's get started"


*first picks up a bread*
"Jyo, and Elise, follow along.... first we add some barbecue sauce to the bottom bread"
*all follow*
"next up, don't go light, but go heavy on it... we add a nice big bunch of brisket meat, followed by some more barbecue sauce... then a second helping with more sauce"
*both Espys follow along*
"finally we add some sauce to the top bread and squish down a bit, you can see the sauce"


*Arval notices the twitching noses from all the Vees*


"next up we cut te sandwich in half, carefully set it on the plate for presentation  - we add an eight pack rib to the plate"
*Espys follow along*
"don't froget the mac n' cheese with bacon on it, a nice big portion"
*Espys do as so"
"finally a bit of cole slaw to the plate"
*Espys add it*
"lastly a bit of extra sauce in the middle for dipping or pouring, lastly we add crispy applewood smoked bacon to the plate"


*Arval can see that Tony Vee is trying to get up and reach the plate, if it wasn't for Zoran holding them in place it would have gotten up*


"last part is optional.... we ask if they like cornbrea and pickles.... ready"






*Arval asks ?* "would you like any cornbread or pickles/"

[?]

*nods* Ill take cornbread  *happily starts to nom some ribs after it is passed out*

[Firox]

*? can tell, its "Kansas City style barbecue meat, with St. Louis style ribs" that's where Arval grew up in, doesn't know where the others grew up in, Arval just sharing a bit of meal where he was raised*


*Aycan is surprised, decides to ask as ? is nomming the sandwich... ? can tell brisket is super soft and tender, and ribs... "fall of the bone" soft*


Aycan: "I heard of barbecue before, but its always tough and chewy covered in sauce - this is so yummy and soft"
Arval: "barbecue to us isn't just about the sauce, its how the meat is cooked.... its kind of our tradition, brisket and ribs have been smoked for almost 30 hours - we add the sauce with only 30 minutes to go for it to glaze the meat - and Aycan, the one your rfereing to is Texas style barbecue where its all about the sauce"


*smiles as Arval watches everyone nom the meats*


"happy everyone is enjoying them.... how is it ?"

[?]

*looks over and nods* taste great 

[Firox]

*Vay doing her part... passing all either coffee, lemonade, or soda*


*Arval smiles passing ? some more barbecue sauce - as Vay passes it's favorite drink*


*Gace grins* "you got some sauce on ya nose silly ?"
*I'm sure to ? it doesn't matter, its having a good time eating*


*half way through meal, Linette tells ? and all*
"maybe next time, I can prepare traditional meal from where I grew up in, southern style food from southern Mississippi and Louisiana, just need some help from the Flareyz with the cooking - even will do dessert"
*both volunteer to help out happily*




*Linette then tells ?* "how about it?"
*she takes a nice big bite of her barbecue ribs*

[?]

*nods* sounds good *keep enjoying the food*

[Firox]

*Arval bring something that both Tony and I love so much*


Arval: "that sounds great Linette, I would love to try real southern food.... for dessert i have two items.... traditionally we serve Lemon Pie, so have some also I have cheesecake for second option"


*Aycan says kind of loud* "? can have my dessert, can I get another barbecue sandwich? please!!"


*Arval makes her another*




*then tells ?* "anymore meat or would you just like dessert after?"
*Aycan giggles and gives it away* "if you have energy to take down and battle, you can take my victory, I'm nomming more of the meats"

"Bree!!" *we all kind of say in a silly way*

*almost forgot - since no Eevee days in April or May... will keep Joseph in April, and for May will switch over to Leafy for May and June*
